Stutterheim Raincoats

October 29, 2010

There’s not much to say about Stutterheim raincoats. Plain, classic, elegant : these three words are actually enough to describe them. Raincoats the way they use to be, “simple, waterproof and straight-cut”. Its success, though, reveals something interesting.
Stutterheim Raincoats are made in Borås, a small city located 60km east of Gothenburg and that was long the centre of the Swedish textile industry. All coats are handmade and hand-numbered – because, yes, you guys are all special. Hence, the scale could not be smaller. Instead, the brand chose to do one thing very well rather than many things poorly, and that makes complete sense. The cut is perfect, it exists in black and white and you won’t be able to complain about “straps and strings dangling from every steam” anymore.
Stutterheim Raincoats are going to make you long for rainy days and long winter nights.
What more could you ask from a winter coat?
