Honshu Hooded Rain Shell Jacket
How to spot the original Honshu
The high collar is lined in a dark contrast colour on the inside and zips to the chin, with a deep hood above it that draws in with a cord toggle.
Four zip pockets: two vertical chest zips tucked under a stitched yoke and two short slanted zips at the hips, all with zips in a colour that contrasts with the shell.
A storm flap with press studs covers the main zip, and dark tabs at the cuffs close the sleeves around your wrists, so rain cannot run in at the front or the sleeves.
The shell
A hooded rain shell jacket in soft colours
A smooth, tightly woven shell blocks the wind and lets rain run off, with a soft matte finish.
A high collar zips to the chin, with a deep hood above it and a flash of colour inside.
Chest and hip zip pockets and snug cuffs keep you dry. It keeps its clean, smart line all day and looks as good in town as it does on a country path.
The Honshu shell brings soft, gentle colours to rainwear, so you can stay dry without dressing in dull navy or black. It is light, quick to throw on and ideal for the kind of day when a sunny morning turns into a drizzly afternoon. The hood keeps your hair dry on the walk to the station, and the shell sheds light rain so you arrive looking fresh rather than soaked through.
The fit
Relaxed, with a height guide
The chest measures 108 cm on the S up to 128 cm on the 3XL, and the length is 66 to 78.5 cm.
As a guide, the S suits about 155 to 160 cm, the M 160 to 165 cm and the L 165 to 170 cm.
There is room for a fleece underneath. Every measurement is listed in the size guide below, so you can compare it with a jacket you own.
The relaxed fit leaves room for a fine knit or a hoodie underneath, and the product page includes a height guide so you can see how the length will fall on you. The hem sits comfortably over jeans, leggings and wide trousers, and the sleeves are long enough to cover the wrists when you reach for a bag or a handrail. It folds small, so it tucks into a tote or a rucksack between showers.
How to wear it

Wear it with leggings and trainers for a walk, or jeans and ankle boots on a wet day in town.

Questions and answers
How do I choose my size in this rain jacket?
It comes in sizes S to 3XL. The size guide on this page gives measurements of the rain jacket itself, taken flat: height, chest, length and sleeve. Measure a similar rain jacket you own, laid flat, and compare it with the chart; free UK delivery and 30 days to return give you time to check the fit at home.
How do I wash this rain jacket?
Spot clean small marks with a damp cloth. For a full clean, a gentle 30°C wash in a laundry bag or a dry cleaner — check the label inside. Hang on a wide hanger so the shoulders keep their shape; brush lightly after wear.
How do I keep a rain jacket shedding water?
Skip fabric softener, which coats the shell and stops rain beading. Wash it gently with the zips closed and hang it to dry. If rain stops beading after many washes, a spray-on or wash-in reproofer from any outdoor shop brings the finish back.
What should I wear under this rain jacket?
A long sleeve top or a light jumper on mild days, and a fleece or a chunky knit when it is cold. To check there is room underneath, measure a rain jacket you own across the chest and compare it with the size chart on this page.
