Engineered Garments Loiter Jacket

The Loiter Jacket is constructed from heavyweight Japanese denim that has been indigo-dyed, meaning it will fade gradually with wear like traditional raw selvedge denim. Engineered Garments, a brand under the Nepenthes umbrella founded by Daiki Suzuki, is known for using high-quality Japanese textiles across its collections. The heavyweight denim gives the jacket substantial structure and durability.

The Loiter Jacket is based on a classic chore-coat silhouette, which typically means a boxier, roomier cut compared with the brand's more tailored offerings like the Andover jacket. Engineered Garments tends to cut its jackets with enough room for layering underneath. As always with EG, checking measurements is advisable since sizing can vary by season.

The jacket features reinforced patch pockets, horn toggles, and a buttonhole storm flap, combining workwear utility with Engineered Garments' signature eclectic detailing. The chore-coat style body with these unusual hardware choices gives it a distinctive look within the EG lineup. It also typically includes interior pockets and a collar that can be worn open or buttoned up.
