The Calvin Klein Classic Trucker Jacket in "Bedford" is a variation of their iconic denim jacket, with "Bedford" specifically referring to the wash and treatment of the denim.
While the "Dover" wash you looked at is a medium-to-dark classic indigo, the Bedford wash is generally characterized by its lighter, more casual aesthetic.
Key Features of the "Bedford" Wash
- Color & Finish: "Bedford" is typically a light-to-medium blue wash. It features more pronounced fading (distressing) across the chest, shoulders, and elbows to give it a "pre-loved," sun-bleached appearance. It has a softer, more relaxed look than darker washes.
- Fabric: It is usually crafted from high-quality 100% cotton denim or a 99% cotton/1% elastane blend. The "Bedford" treatment often involves a stone-washing process that makes the denim feel softer and more flexible right off the rack compared to "Rigid" or "Dover" styles.
Design Details
- The Silhouette: It maintains the timeless "Type III" trucker construction:
- Point collar and button-front closure.
- Dual button-flap chest pockets and side welt pockets.
- Pointed western-style yokes on the front.
- Hardware: Features signature Calvin Klein branded metal buttons, usually in a duller, "antique" silver or nickel finish to match the lived-in look of the fabric.
- Fit: It follows the Classic Fit—hitting at the waist with enough room through the torso for easy movement without being overly "oversized."
Why Choose the "Bedford" Wash?
- Seasonal Versatility: Light washes like Bedford are particularly popular for spring and summer. They feel "lighter" visually and pair exceptionally well with white T-shirts, khaki chinos, or even black denim.
- Soft Hand-Feel: Because of the washing process required to achieve this lighter color, the fabric is often less "stiff" than darker indigo jackets, making it comfortable for all-day wear immediately.
