Some cities have a rainy season. Ours has a rainy personality. The Gastown Parka is built for the version of autumn that arrives sideways — a soft-shell shell that shrugs off the rain, a warm tartan lining inside, and a cut that still looks considered when you finally step indoors. ☔

The waist draws in with a hidden cord, so you decide whether the silhouette reads relaxed or shaped. The hood is removable. The pockets are deep enough for gloves, a phone and a set of keys. It is the coat you stop thinking about, which is the highest compliment outerwear can earn.

Why you'll reach for it

• Waterproof soft-shell finish — built to handle real rain, not just drizzle
• Quiet fabric, no rustle — the soft-shell outer and brushed lining move without the swishing sound you get from thin packable rain jackets
• Brushed tartan lining — warm through the body and sleeves, not just the torso
• Detachable hood — press studs let you take it off entirely
• Adjustable drawcord waist — cinch it in or leave it loose
• Stand collar with a concealed zip and a press-stud storm flap over the top
• Two deep flap pockets with press-stud closures
• Hip length — covers the hip and sits neatly over a dress or a knit co-ord

Fabric & care

Outer shell: polyester with a waterproof coating.
Lining: brushed polyester tartan.
Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle. Do not tumble dry. Do not bleach. Cool iron if needed — avoid direct heat on the coated shell.

Finding your size

The numbers below are the measurements of the coat itself, not your body measurements. The coat is laid flat and the bust measurement is doubled, so these figures will look much larger than your own. That's intentional: the parka is cut with room to layer a knit or a jumper underneath.

The easiest way to choose: take a coat or jacket you already own that fits the way you'd like this one to fit. Lay it flat, measure straight across from armpit to armpit, double that number, and match it to the bust column below.

Fit advice

The Gastown Parka is cut generously through the body so it layers over knitwear without pulling across the shoulders. If you're between sizes and plan to wear it over a jumper, size up. If you prefer it closer to the body, take your usual size and draw the waist cord in.
