Happy puddle-hopping
Designed in Toronto and made in Vancouver, the adorably titled Trout raincoats make any April shower a stylish occasion.
Débuting this season, the 100 per cent waterproof jackets come in three styles and feature hidden interior pockets, reversibility, and hide-away hoods. (Check out the seam tape in contrasting colours.)
The fabric story includes one very special Italian doubleface cotton blend in a selection of classic colour combinations. Ideal for repelling raindrops, the fabric also has a familiar hand feel reminding us more of our favourite trench than our favourite ski jacket.
Were hooked!
