bedjacket
Short sleepwear coat
A bedjacket is a lightweight, short jacket worn over nightclothes while sitting up in bed—for warmth, modesty, or both.
The garment was common when homes were less uniformly heated and hospital patients received visitors in their rooms.
It remains in use but sounds old-fashioned: She pulled on a bedjacket before the nurse brought breakfast.
