Care instructions

• Waterproof

  Our rainwear is 100% waterproof, able to withstand the very wettest conditions.
  
  We use a material called bonded cotton that contains an impermeable rubber membrane placed between two thin layers of cotton. Unlike Gore-Tex and other performance materials, this waterproof cotton fabric does not require retreating and will remain waterproof for life.
  
  In addition, any exposed areas of stitching are covered with water-resistant tape, ensuring complete protection from the elements.

• Natural rubber

  Both the bonded cotton material and waterproof glue are made from a natural rubber solution that carries a distinctive scent.
  
  When unboxing your new rainwear this will be particularly apparent and is part of what makes your raincoat a genuine mackintosh. The scent will soon fade once left to hang.
  
  Avoid high temperatures such as radiators, fires, and hot-water pipes as this may damage the natural rubber.

• Storage

  To maintain the appearance of your raincoat please observe the following:
  
  - Air dry naturally when not in use, especially before storage.
  
  - Avoid direct sunlight for extended periods of time as this may bleach colours.
  
  - Do not store folded as this may leave visible creases. Instead store flat or hanging.

• Cleaning

  Cleaning should be carried out infrequently and by hand only where required:
  
  - Do not dry clean or machine wash.
  
  - Small stains should be spot removed with a little soap and water.
  
  - Use gentle pH neutral soap, never spirits or other harsh chemical cleaners.
  
  - If it is necessary to wash the whole coat, run a bath with tepid water and wash gently with soap.
  
  - Remove any water collected in the pockets and hang to drip dry naturally. Do not iron.
