Product Overview
Designed for the youngest members of the workforce or local community groups, the Larkwood Rain Jacket provides a reliable barrier against the British weather. This lightweight jacket combines a functional showerproof exterior with a soft, striped jersey lining, ensuring that protection from the rain does not come at the expense of comfort. Whether it is for a nursery school outing or a branded family event, this garment offers a professional appearance for toddlers and infants.
Key Features
- Showerproof Polyester Exterior: The 100% polyester outer shell effectively repels light rain, keeping the wearer dry during outdoor activities.
- Striped Cotton Jersey Lining: A 100% cotton lining provides a soft, breathable layer against the skin, preventing the clammy feel often associated with synthetic outerwear.
- Integrated Hood: The lined hood offers additional protection for the head and neck against wind and moisture.
- Zip and Popper Fastening: The combination of a front zipper and popper closure provides a secure seal against the elements and allows for easy dressing.
- Patch Front Pockets: Two front pockets provide a practical space for small items while maintaining the jacket's classic aesthetic.
Design & Performance
This jacket is engineered to balance lightweight mobility with essential weather resistance. The outer fabric is a technical polyester designed to deflect water, making it an ideal choice for changeable conditions. Inside, the single jersey cotton lining is not only aesthetically pleasing with its classic stripe pattern but also serves a functional purpose by absorbing moisture and providing a gentle touch for sensitive skin. The straight hem and cuffs contribute to a clean, well-tailored silhouette that mirrors the quality of adult workwear.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
Despite its technical showerproof finish, this jacket is an excellent canvas for customisation. At MyWorkwear, we recommend embroidery for small, intricate logos or individual names, providing a durable and professional finish that stands up well to frequent use. For larger, more vibrant designs—such as nursery logos or event branding—our high-quality print process is an ideal alternative.
All customisation is handled in-house by our expert team in Telford. Having been established in 1976, we have decades of experience in ensuring that your branding is applied with precision, maintaining the integrity of the garment while making your logo stand out.
Use Cases
This rain jacket is perfectly suited for nursery schools and playgroups looking for a uniform solution that keeps children dry during outdoor play. It is also a popular choice for promotional merchandise at family-oriented events or as part of a branded clothing range for small businesses in the childcare sector.

Practical Advice
This jacket is designed as a lightweight outer layer. For colder days, we recommend layering it over a sweatshirt or fleece. When selecting a size, please refer to the height-based guide provided in the specifications to ensure the best fit for growing infants and toddlers.
Caring for your product
To maintain the showerproof performance and the appearance of your custom branding, it is essential to follow the care instructions precisely. We recommend a synthetic wash at 40°C. This temperature is sufficient to remove dirt and bacteria without damaging the polyester fibres or the integrity of the cotton lining.
You should avoid the use of bleach, as harsh chemicals will degrade the showerproof coating and cause the colours to fade. Similarly, do not dry clean this garment. For drying, avoid the tumble dryer at all costs; the high heat can warp the synthetic outer shell and shrink the lining. Instead, allow the jacket to air dry naturally.
If ironing is required, use a cool setting and always iron on the reverse of the fabric. Most importantly, never iron directly onto a printed or embroidered motif, as the heat will cause irreparable damage to the decoration.
