Mackintosh

About Mackintosh

Mackintosh has been making coats since 1824, and the story starts a year earlier, when Charles Macintosh created the world's first waterproof fabric, known as Mackintosh cloth. The label still makes its signature rubberised coats by skilled craftsmen, in the same tradition pioneered in the early 19th century. Linings and pockets are glue fixed and backing tape goes on all seams, a handmade method that keeps the coats fully waterproof. Beyond raincoats you will find wool coats and weatherproof jackets, plus the Mackintosh Mainline collection and collaborations with leading fashion houses, including Cecilie Bahnsen. It is a luxury name that pairs updated technology with traditional technique.
