Product Overview
The Brook Taverner Chicago Raincoat is a masterclass in combining functional weather protection with the refined silhouette required for professional environments. Constructed from 100% waterproof polyester, this garment provides a dependable barrier against rain and wind without the bulky appearance of standard outdoor jackets. It is designed to sit comfortably over a suit or corporate uniform, ensuring that your professional image remains intact even in inclement weather.
Key Features
- 5 Button Fly Front with Zip: The dual closure system provides a secure seal against the elements, preventing wind and moisture from penetrating the fastening.
- Concealed Hood: Tucked neatly into the collar, the hood offers immediate protection when the weather turns, while allowing for a cleaner, more formal look when not in use.
- Quilted Lining: The internal quilting provides essential thermal insulation, making this coat suitable for colder seasons without compromising its streamlined profile.
- Ample Storage: With two outer welt pockets and two internal pockets, there is significant space to securely store professional essentials such as phones, documents, or keys.
- Functional Detailing: The centre vent and cuff tab details ensure ease of movement and a tailored fit, preventing the garment from feeling restrictive during a commute or site visit.
Design & Performance
Engineered with a focus on durability and weather resistance, the Chicago Raincoat is crafted from a high-grade 100% waterproof polyester. This fabric is specifically chosen for its ability to repel water effectively while remaining lightweight enough for daily wear. The inclusion of a showerproof finish adds an extra layer of security, ensuring that light rain beads off the surface.
The design is further enhanced by a 90cm centre back length (on a 40R), providing sufficient coverage over tailored jackets. The quilted lining is not merely for comfort; it ensures the coat retains its structure over time, resisting the sagging often found in inferior lightweight rainwear. The centre vent is a critical performance feature, allowing for a full range of motion while walking or driving.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
At MyWorkwear, we understand that your outerwear is a reflection of your brand. The Chicago Raincoat is an excellent candidate for customisation. We recommend embroidery for a truly professional and long-lasting finish; it is the ideal medium for corporate logos or staff names, providing a textured, premium look that complements the coat's formal design.
For organisations requiring larger, more prominent branding, print customisation is also available. Our expert team in Telford, who have been perfecting garment customisation since 1976, will ensure that your chosen design is applied with precision, maintaining the professional integrity of the Brook Taverner brand while making your team easily identifiable.
Use Cases
This raincoat is perfectly suited for corporate professionals, management teams, and hospitality staff who require a smart appearance for outdoor duties or travel. It is an ideal choice for site managers who need to maintain a professional look while navigating exposed environments, or for sales teams who represent the company face-to-face regardless of the weather.

Practical Advice
The Chicago Raincoat is designed with a generous cut to be worn over suits and blazers. When choosing your size, we recommend selecting your standard jacket size; however, if you intend to wear particularly heavy knitwear or multiple layers beneath it, you may wish to consider the fit of your underlying garments. The cuff tab detail allows for minor adjustments to the sleeve opening, helping to seal out cold air.
Caring for your product
To maintain the performance and professional appearance of your Chicago Raincoat, it is essential to follow the care instructions meticulously. Maintaining the fabric's integrity ensures that the waterproof properties and the custom branding remain in peak condition.
This garment is machine washable, which allows for convenient maintenance. We recommend using a gentle cycle with a mild detergent to prevent the breakdown of the waterproof finish. Avoiding harsh chemicals and bleaches is vital, as these can degrade the polyester fibres and cause the colour of both the garment and any custom embroidery to fade prematurely.
After washing, the coat should be hung to dry naturally. High-heat drying processes can damage the quilted lining and the structural elements of the fly front. Ensuring the coat is fully dry before storage will prevent any moisture-related damage to the internal pockets and lining.
