I finally got to wear the new anorak in a proper rain. In a light drizzle over the course of 30 minutes or so, it performed admirably, and kept me dry and comfortable with the breathable cotton. Once a more pronounced rain began to fall, some water made its way into the shoulders and at the neckline, as you might expect absent sealed or bonded seams. Overall a fantastic and stylish item suitable for all but the most miserable of weather--an instant classic.
That is good to hear.
Thanks.
While we do not specialize in the sort of clothing you find in the performance/active category — with the taped seams, such as you mention — the fact we like to use robust cloth and have a predilection for excessively thorough construction means all our cotton jackets fare pretty well in the rain.
And it is a sliding scale, of course, and the more weatherproof you make a jacket the less everyday / casual / versatile it becomes — at least in my eyes.
An interesting subject the more I think about it!
