Stockholm Rain Coat, Khaki Green

In chilly, rain-lashed Sweden, they know a few things about keeping dry. That Baltic heritage goes into the Stockholm Raincoat, a minimalist rubberized raincoat with a generous hood. It’s thigh-length for thorough coverage, and has double-welded seams in case heavy rain dares to get through the tough PVC coating or the poly-cotton base.

Not long ago, Alexander Stutterheim found his grandfather's old fisherman's raincoat in a family barn on the Swedish island of Arholma. He recreated the timeless piece using high-quality rubberized cotton, and began selling them in high-end shops like Barney's only a year later. The rest, as they say, is history — and now we've got our hands on some of the best rainwear money can buy.
