Care & Quality

  • Fabric: soft-touch matte ripstop polyester with a DWR finish — smooth to the touch, beading in the rain.
  • Seams: finished seams for a clean interior.
  • Hardware: gold-tone metal snaps, gilded cord-lock, two-way front zip.
  • Embroidery: story motifs stitched dense and clean at the yoke and hem.
  • Care: wash cold on a gentle cycle, hang to dry, no bleach, no ironing the trims; refresh the finish with a DWR treatment when the rain stops beading.
  • The promise: premium materials, considered construction, and a hem that outlasts the argument about whether it's a poncho or a gown. (It's both.)

Built like a gown, finished like a first edition.
