Along with a good suit, a great linen shirt and an everyday pair of stylish trainers, the raincoat is an essentially in any British man’s wardrobe. Whilst they generally serve for practically, whether that’s on the morning commute, school run or weekend dog walk, they can also look cool, pulling reference from everything from mods of the 1960s to ’90s Britpop (we’re looking at you, Liam) to more traditional aesthetics like the sophisticated car coat from the turn of the 20th century and the revolutionary introduction of the Mackintosh trench.
Today, there are so may great menswear brands marrying style with function and no more so than with coats that will work and play hard in your wardrobe. Look to brands like Rains who have built a wet weather empire on the need to stay dry, with their latest tech fabrications that are all windproof, feature welded seams, and are cut from signature waterproof fabric. Trust us, even your best suit will stay dry under one of these and they are super lightweight and fold up easily into a rucksack.
We’re also big fans of Percival’s Auxiliary Sherlock jacket. It’s made from Italian cotton in a shacket type style which gives it a softness, but is hardwearing thanks to its bonded PU backing fabric. There’s a reason they have been making the same design for over 10 years now.
If you’re in the market for something budget-friendly, the high street has never been better in terms of fabrications and tech. Zara do a great rubberised parka with a roomy hood to ensure good hair days, always. Whilst ARKET’s classic camel car coats will become trusted wardrobe staples for years to come.
Look to brands like The Frankie Shop and Holzweiler for contemporary takes on a classic ’90s parka.
Rain’s are the modern masters of wet weather attire and have built a wet weather empire on the need to stay dry. Trust us, even your best suit will stay dry under one of these.
