Engineered Garments Baseball Patch Bedford

One of the items that I will definitely remember from Tokyo – partially because I didn't end up purchasing it and partly regret it – were these special edition Bedford jackets from the Engineered Garments store. They jackets themselves are made from a washed-out cotton twill material which was extremely soft and very comfortable from the first time you put it on. I'm not sure, but I think it may have been a treated version of last spring's unlined navy twill Bedford. The patches apparently come from Daiki Suzuki's collection of deadstock goodies. Picked up over the years, there is only one combination of jacket and patch, which means your choice when picking your patch/size gets pretty slim, pretty quick. The patches are from old baseball teams and definitely fit well with the aesthetic of the sport coats. Although you could surely find your own patch and sew it on yourself, there is always something nice about finding a really unique piece and making it yours.

You could create an "Inventory" patch, and sew it on. I personally don't like these patches, but I can see the appeal in its exclusivity.

How about purchasing a regular Bedford and adding a thrift patch ?

It looks douchy. Could be pulled off by a quirky Japanese freeter, but even then I'd think its visually too close to one of those cheap Polo Ralph Lauren knock-offs. The brand doesn't help here.
