The Reuter jacket is a signature staple item from ENGINEERED GARMENTS. While this jacket arrives each season with variations in material and color, wearing it in corduroy during the autumn and winter seasons is particularly special. The thick, substantial corduroy and warm surface texture—the perfect material for the season in which this jacket truly shines—has arrived.

A stylish jacket for strolling around town.
That was the origin of the Reuter jacket.
— What is a Reuter jacket?
The Loiter Jacket is one of the longest-loved staple jackets in the Engineered Garments collection. Its unlined, single-layer construction, relaxed boxy silhouette, and three buttons that start high up on the front create a casual, easy-to-wear feel that sets it apart from tailored jackets.
The front features three pockets (left chest, right chest, and left abdomen). Adjustable buttons are located on the sides of the waist, allowing for silhouette adjustment. This jacket most clearly embodies the aesthetic of ENGINEERED GARMENTS, incorporating workwear details characteristic of the brand into a jacket design.
- Unlined, single-layer construction – lightweight and suitable for transitional seasons through full autumn and winter.
- A relaxed, boxy silhouette—easy to wear with any inner layer, without feeling restrictive.
- Three-button design starting from a high position at the front.
- Three front pockets (left chest, right chest, left abdomen) – practical size.
- Adjustable buttons on the side of the waist allow you to subtly cinch the silhouette.
- 100% Cotton / Made in USA — Commitment to materials and craftsmanship
— 4.5W corduroy material
"4.5W" refers to "4.5 ribs," a type of corduroy with 4 to 5 ribs per inch. Compared to fine-rib corduroy (8W, 14W, 21W, etc.), it has a firmer, more three-dimensional feel and texture, and when worn as a jacket, it has an exceptional volume.
Because corduroy is made from cotton, it becomes softer and more comfortable the more you wear it. With each wash, the ridges soften little by little, and it learns the movements of your body—this corduroy jacket undergoes the same kind of aging process as jeans. The more you wear it as your main jacket from autumn to winter, the more it will become a unique piece just for you.
— I. LOITER JACKET — DK.BROWN COTTON 4.5W CORDUROY
Dark brown is the color that best showcases the beauty of corduroy. The thick 4.5W ridges catch the light, creating variations in shade—even with the same fabric, corduroy in DK.BROWN has a unique depth. It blends most naturally into autumn and winter earth-toned outfits and creates a beautiful contrast with denim or black pants.

The 4.5W corduroy ridges become more prominent depending on the light, and the jacket's appearance changes depending on the viewing angle—a unique feature of this material.
