Product Overview
The Nimbus Women's Abington jacket represents a sophisticated intersection of corporate elegance and technical performance. Designed specifically with a feminine silhouette, this jacket moves beyond standard bulky outerwear to offer a streamlined, professional appearance that does not compromise on weather protection. It serves as a modern windproof and water-repellent business jacket, constructed from a sustainable polyester twill that manages to be both environmentally responsible and exceptionally smart.
What sets the Abington apart is its adaptability. Featuring a detachable gilet-style wind placket, it allows the wearer to adjust to fluctuating temperatures and varied professional settings, from the morning commute to outdoor site visits. The integration of high-performance insulation ensures warmth without unnecessary bulk, making it a reliable staple for the professional wardrobe throughout the colder months.
Key Features
- Removable chest warmer: The gilet-style wind placket provides an extra layer of protection against the cold and can be removed for a more formal, streamlined look in milder conditions.
- Insulation with Sorona Aura: This padding, made from 30% bio-based materials, offers excellent thermal retention while maintaining a lightweight profile, ensuring you stay warm without the weight of traditional padding.
- Recycled fabrics: Constructed from polyester derived from recycled plastic bottles and textile waste, this jacket allows your business to project a commitment to sustainability.
- Water-repellent Bionic Finish ECO: This fluorocarbon-free finish ensures rain beads off the surface, keeping you dry during those unpredictable British showers.
- Windproof and breathable: The technical membrane blocks biting winds while allowing moisture to escape, preventing discomfort during active use.
Design & Performance
The construction of the Abington jacket focuses on long-term durability and wearer comfort. The outer shell is a refined recycled polyester twill that offers a smooth, professional handle while remaining robust enough for daily use. With a water resistance rating of 3000mm, it is engineered to withstand light to moderate rain, ensuring you arrive at your destination looking as composed as when you left.
Inside, the lining is smooth and snag-resistant, facilitating easy layering over corporate knitwear or blouses. The use of technical TPU 3K/3K technology provides a high-performance barrier that balances weatherproofing with breathability. It is a substantial garment that feels secure and well-structured, reflecting the premium standards associated with the Nimbus brand.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
The smooth twill surface of the Abington jacket provides an ideal canvas for branding. For a superior professional finish that aligns with corporate identity, we recommend embroidery. Our Telford-based team, operating since 1976, uses precision machinery to apply logos and staff names, ensuring a durable and high-quality result that withstands the elements.
If your branding requires larger, more vibrant graphics, the recycled polyester fabric also takes print exceptionally well. Whether you choose the understated elegance of a subtle embroidered chest logo or a more prominent printed design, all customisation is handled in-house at our UK facility to ensure the highest standards of quality control and attention to detail.
Use Cases
This jacket is primarily designed for corporate environments where a professional image is paramount. It is an excellent choice for client-facing staff, management teams, and professionals who frequently travel between office locations. Its refined design also makes it suitable for high-end hospitality front-of-house staff or as part of a corporate events uniform where outdoor exposure is a factor.

Practical Advice
The Abington is designed with a feminine fit in mind. We recommend consulting our size guide to ensure the best fit across the shoulders and chest. Given its streamlined design, if you intend to wear heavy winter knitwear underneath, you may wish to consider sizing up for additional comfort. The removable chest warmer is particularly useful for those who find traditional jackets too restrictive during temperature transitions.
Caring for your product
Maintaining the technical performance of your Abington jacket requires adhering to specific care guidelines to ensure the water-repellent finish and insulation remain effective over time. We recommend a gentle machine wash to remove surface dirt that can clog the breathable membrane and reduce the effectiveness of the water-repellent finish.
Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can coat the fibres and impair the Bionic Finish ECO water-repellency. Similarly, do not use bleach, as this will degrade the recycled polyester fibres and cause significant damage to the Sorona Aura insulation. To preserve the shape and integrity of the padding, do not tumble dry this jacket at high temperatures. Air drying is preferred to keep the insulation evenly distributed. If ironing is necessary, use a cool setting to avoid damaging the technical TPU membrane.
