Product Overview
The Nimbus Detroit unisex jacket draws inspiration from the enduring silhouette of traditional American workwear, specifically the iconic gas station jacket. It represents a sophisticated blend of heritage aesthetics and modern technical performance. This garment is designed for those who require a versatile outerwear piece that transition seamlessly from professional environments to casual settings. Crafted primarily from recycled materials, it offers a sustainable choice without compromising on the refined appearance necessary for corporate representation.
Key Features
- The luxurious satin lining provides a smooth interior finish, allowing the jacket to glide easily over mid-layers while enhancing wearer comfort throughout the day.
- An integrated wind placket situated behind the main zip serves as a critical barrier against draughts, ensuring heat retention in exposed conditions.
- Secure button closures on the sleeves and pockets offer a classic visual detail while providing reliable storage for essential items.
- A dedicated inner pocket with a zip closure provides a secure location for high-value items such as mobile devices or identification.
- The technical construction is water-resistant, windproof, and breathable, ensuring you remain protected from the elements without overheating.
- Environmental responsibility is at the core of this jacket, utilising recycled polyester and a PFC-free BIONIC FINISH ECO impregnation for water repellency.
Design & Performance
Engineered for durability and flexibility, the shell of the Detroit jacket is composed of a medium-weight blend of 92% recycled polyester and 8% elastane. This inclusion of elastane provides a subtle stretch, allowing for a full range of motion that is often lacking in traditional work jackets. The technical performance is underpinned by a TPU membrane and a polyester mesh laminate, which facilitates moisture vapour escape while preventing external water penetration.
The outer fabric is treated with BIONIC FINISH ECO, a leading-edge sustainable technology that mimics the water-repellent structures found in nature. This ensures that light rain beads off the surface, keeping the wearer dry and the fabric from becoming waterlogged. Despite its substantial protective qualities, the jacket remains surprisingly lightweight and manageable for long shifts.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
The Detroit jacket is an excellent canvas for customisation. Its smooth, high-quality shell fabric is perfectly suited for both print and embroidery, allowing your brand identity to be displayed with precision.
For a traditional and sophisticated finish, we recommend embroidery. This method is ideal for company logos or staff names, providing a textured, premium look that withstands frequent laundering. If your branding requires large, vibrant graphics or bold messaging, our high-definition printing processes ensure a sharp, professional finish that remains flexible on the garment.
All customisation is handled by our expert in-house team in Telford, who have been perfecting garment decoration since 1976.
Use Cases
This jacket is ideally suited for front-of-house staff, delivery drivers, or site managers who require a garment that looks as professional as a blazer but performs like technical outerwear. Its unisex fit and broad size range, from XS to 3XL, make it a versatile choice for outfitting diverse teams across the service, automotive, and corporate sectors.

Practical Advice
The Detroit jacket is designed with a professional fit in mind. For those planning to wear heavy knitwear or thick sweatshirts underneath during winter months, we suggest reviewing the size guide carefully to ensure a comfortable fit across the shoulders. The tagless design is a thoughtful addition, preventing neck irritation during extended periods of wear.
Caring for your product
To maintain the technical integrity and water-repellent properties of the Detroit jacket, we recommend a domestic wash at a maximum temperature of 40°C on a normal process. This ensures the fabric is cleaned effectively without damaging the TPU membrane or the recycled fibres.
Do not use bleach, as harsh chemicals will degrade the BIONIC FINISH ECO coating and compromise the colour fastness of your custom branding. We also advise against tumble drying; allowing the jacket to air dry naturally helps maintain its shape and the performance of the technical laminates.
Ironing and dry cleaning should be avoided entirely. High heat from an iron can damage the synthetic shell and the internal membrane, while dry cleaning solvents can strip away the essential water-repellent treatments that make this jacket a practical piece of outerwear.
