Water Repellent Polyester
The story

Eighty-five percent polyester, fifteen percent polyurethane, woven in Italy and finished to repel water. Rain beads on the face of it and runs off rather than soaking in, which makes this the jacket you put on because the sky looks uncertain, not because you have committed to a day out in it. Two styles are cut from the cloth. Both carry a lightweight padding that adds warmth without much thickness; one closes with a two-way zip and the other with a single. Both are made up in Macedonia. It washes at 30°C with a mild detergent, and the rest of the care comes down to low heat and no dryer.

Why choose it

For everyday rain and the walk between doors.

01

Repellent is the claim

The cloth is finished to repel water and that is what the garment says. No rating is stated beyond it, and we are not going to imply one.

02

Woven in Italy

The cloth comes from an Italian mill. The jackets themselves are made up in Macedonia, which is a different thing and worth keeping separate.

03

Padded, not bulky

Both styles carry a lightweight padding. It is there for warmth rather than for volume.

What you pay for

Scott Padded Vest: €179 here. €269 average market price.

Average market price is what a comparable piece costs from a brand that sells through other people's shops: department stores and multi-brand retailers. That price has to carry the brand's margin and the shop's margin, stacked. Ours carries one.

Our margin
€89,93

Margin is not profit. It goes to getting the piece to your door: shipping, returns, the warehouse. Then to running No Label: the team, the stores, the fit sessions, the photography. What is left goes into next season's fabric. On sale pieces there is often nothing left at all, because overstock is money sitting in a warehouse and we would rather it moved than marked up.
