The Unlined Eisenhower Jacket is a chore coat from Dickies, $60 at retail. The unlined original — a workwear staple that has been in continuous production long enough to stop being a trend.
Shoulder-season weight — layer it, or save it for the mild end of the season. It reads casual without reading sloppy.
Tagged workwear and Americana, and down for everyday, work and weekends — those are the occasions the builder will actually put it in front of you for.
The rest of the fit
One garment per remaining slot, chosen the way the builder chooses: occasion overlap, formality that holds across the fit, warmth that agrees with itself, and the layering rules that stop a collar ending up under a hood. Head to toe with the Unlined Eisenhower Jacket: $343 at retail.
