Mackintosh Jackets
Mackintosh creates not only nostalgia but also a new world by adding a contemporary essence to British traditional outerwear such as a rubberised coat, a quilted jacket and a trench coat.
The outerwear is modern, simple and sophisticated never veering from traditional and stylish designs. This makes Mackintosh a timeless piece that allows you to express your individual style.
The origin of Mackintosh dates back all the way to the invention of the Mackintosh cloth. The year was 1823 and people of the time had no waterproof wear to protect themselves from the elements except garments made of oiled cloths. Charles Mackintosh, a Glaswegian chemist, invented a formal waterproof fabric, The Mackintosh Cloth. This rubberised cloth is produced by spreading liquid rubber between two fabrics, pressed then heated.

The Mackintosh coat instantly brought a lot of attention all over Britain. This functionality led Mackintosh to be adopted as the British Army Coat for both the First and Second World Wars and the uniform for British Rail.
Mackintosh rubberised coat is still produced by the same method developed in the 19th century. Backing tapes on all seams, linings and pockets are glue fixed to fully waterproof the garment. In this process, the craftsman applies the special glue onto his finger and spreads it over the seams. Then he places a bonded tape over the seam that is rolled then dried. The craftsman repeats this process for every seam.
All of their rubberised coats are manufactured utilising this procedure, therefore production is limited per day. Finally, they sew in a “Genuine Handmade” label on each coat as evidence of their traditional process and craftsmanship. All the outerwear is produced in Britain.
Mackintosh keeps evolving by exploring new contemporary collections and continues to hold a place as the overcoat of choice for many, many people.
