WORKING Bog Jacket | Navy Wool Crombie Triassic Green
When a jacket like this comes along, it’s hard not to get excited. The Bog Jacket comes from the second collection of WORKING in a clever sandwich construction of three fabrics: wool crombie, nylon bomber and Italian cotton dogtooth. Together they produce the quilted texture of a down jacket with the substance of a wool overcoat.
This jacket takes its cues from the Loft jacket, with cutaway loft panels revealing the seam construction and fabric layers. Shiny lapels and pocket flaps echo shawl collar dinner jackets as worn by Humphrey Bogart in Casablanca - without the cigarette smoke. But fear not, those sturdy buttons are made from cellulose acetate derived from recycled cigarette filters. The signature overlapping back seam, borrowed from old bib overalls, runs the length of the garment, with cuffs shaped after those on early Lee chore coats.
The garment pigment dyeing takes the dogtooth cotton lining and its stitching to a deep green, while the nylon and wool settle on a navy hue. Purposeful fraying is introduced and gentle markings come from the pigment settling into the fuzzy surface of the wool - a reminder of how WORKING continues to push the limits of processes.

Operating from their studios in Glasgow, Scotland, and Phoenixville, Pennsylvania, they combine their distinct approaches to design and production; exploring each other’s perspectives on fabrics, art and design history, uniform construction, and an expanded interpretation of workwear.
