The EG jacket that sits between work coat and soft blazer, built for rumpled everyday polish.

Story & heritage
Bedford Jacket is one of Engineered Garments’ clearest signatures: Nepenthes describes it as a beloved catalogue piece that skirts the border between a dress jacket and a chore coat.
The shape fits the brand Daiki Suzuki founded in 1999: American workwear logic filtered through a designer eye, with enough tailoring to move from shop floor to dinner table.
Materials & craft
The current Nepenthes America Bedford is listed in 66% cotton and 34% nylon, made in the US. A Nepenthes deep dive calls out removable buttons fixed with metal ringlets, a factory-minded detail that gives the jacket its practical character.
How to choose & style
Wear it like a chore blazer: open over an oxford, camp shirt or plain tee, with fatigue pants when you want a full EG uniform.
Cotton ripstop and poplin versions feel casual; darker solids are the easiest substitute for an unstructured sport coat.
