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!

Hello, I hope it's not inappropriate to ask you directly for sizing advice. Im about 177cm, typically a 36 in North America but I've always had a tricky time with English makers, I'm very interested in your trench coat in cosmos, and curious if you would recommend a XS or S?

Paul, do you expect any additional colors in the new polo this season? I sadly see that nearly all of the seaweed was taken by the tide . . . . Cheers!

Eminently appropriate!

It'd be remiss of me to suggest any size other than XS.

Our sizing is very consistent (unless otherwise stated, cases of which these days are rare) and the trench is as true to size as any other garment in our collection.

The size XS is cut for a chest of 36 so unless you're keen on a relaxed fit, we're very much in "36 is the bullseye" territory here.
