Embroidered Bouclé Fleece Bed Jacket

Blue polyester bouclé fleece bed jacket in a relaxed fit with a collar, button fastening, full-length sleeves, an embroidered patch pocket and satin piping, recalling the bed jackets of the 1820s. Patterns for bed jackets, known as 'night jackets', appeared as early as 1820, typically made from simple quilted or flannel fabric and designed to keep the shoulders warm while sitting up in bed to read, write letters or take breakfast, a genteel domestic ritual that persisted well into the twentieth century. Unlined and warmly practical, it makes a lovely gift for anyone who enjoys a leisurely morning in bed.
