If your raincoat doesn't quite fit right, just pop round to your local alterations specialist and they'll sort it for you.

Need to tweak the sleeve length? You can easily add or take away up to 2cm, no problem, and you don't even need to touch the adjustable cuff tab

To get the most out of your raincoat, here are a few handy tips. Nothing too tricky, promise!

You've got two ways to look after your Ventile®:

• Hand wash: The gentle approach. Use lukewarm water and a bit of mild soap, rinse well, and let it air dry. Spot on for small marks and stains.
• Dry cleaner's: Perfect for a proper clean. Just make sure to tell them it's Ventile® cotton and a standard dry clean will do the job nicely.

Once a year should be plenty, unless you're wrestling in the mud every morning.

If you want to freshen it up between washes:

• Give your coat a gentle brush or dab off any dust with a sponge.
• For small stains, a lightly damp sponge can work wonders.

• No tumble dryer: Your lovely raincoat hates tumble dryers – they'll ruin its natural water-resistant magic. Let it air dry on a hanger, out of direct sunlight.
• Gentle ironing: If you need to iron it, keep it on a low heat (max 150°C) to keep it looking sharp. It’s best to use a damp cloth between the iron and the fabric to protect it.

Since 1 January 2024, the AGEC law requires all textile brands to be transparent about what goes into their products so we can all have a much better idea of exactly what we're buying. We didn't wait for the legislation to do this, we actually lobbied for it, and we think it's an important step in the right direction to change the way our industry works. So here's some additional information about our Ventile ® Raincoats:

• They’re 100% recyclable once dismantled. If your time together comes to an end, your item can be fully recycled. That said, we'd always recommend repairing and/or handing it down to someone before recycling.
• Unlike many garments that release microplastics during washing, our Ventile ® Raincoats have been designed not to do so. Plastic microfibres are tiny particles of plastic that have a negative impact on aquatic and land ecosystems.
• They do not contain any hazardous materials. They’re manufactured in compliance with strict standards aimed at eliminating the use of harmful substances and other chemical nasties.
• They do not contain any recycled materials. We try and incorporate recycled materials whenever we can, unfortunately, it hasn’t been possible to do so with the Ventile ® Raincoat.

We hope that your Ventile ® Raincoat will live up to your expectations. We’ll get in touch in a few weeks’ time so you can tell us how you’re getting on.
