Ilse Jacobsen, The Comfortable Jacket For In The Rain!

In today's world, almost everything is mass-produced. Unique things disappear into the background. Ilse Jacobsen goes against this. With a large collection of stylish Scandinavian coats for women, the coat brand knows how to make heads turn. For 25 years now, the Ilse Jacobsen softshell jacket or mackintosh from Denmark is a beautiful and functional concept, making you always look your best. And keep you from getting wet, too.

Creating an innovative stylish jacket is not easy. With the Danish nature as inspiration and the addition of Scandinavian design Ilse Jacobsen succeeded. The result soon followed and the Ilse Jacobsen mackintosh became a sales hit. This is not surprising, since the mackintoshes fit like a glove with a sense of comfort, style and functionality. This was the moment that ladies no longer had to walk around in a standard mackintosh. In exchange, they got a stylish jacket that protected them against natural elements. Every 6 months Ilse Jacobsen launches a new collection of jackets that match the time of year. With a focus on creating a natural and relaxed atmosphere, allowing women to maintain their elegance.

 

An Ilse Jacobsen jacket distinguishes itself from the established order through its high degree of comfort and style. This would be dwarfed if you still get wet in the rain. That's why Ilse has thought of you. For her softshell mackintoshes, she uses a sustainable biodegradable coating with the quality that the water runs off easily and the dirt is repelled. In addition, the durable so-called Ecorepel® coating is free of fluorocarbons and is biodegradable. The coating can be reactivated by washing the jacket first at 30 °C and then tumble drying it. This eliminates the need for chemical waterproofing. Another advantage of this coating is that the fabric remains breathable. Ilse is also aware of the fragility of nature. That is why she uses green energy and a zero waste policy in Denmark. She donates jackets that are no longer used to the Danish Red Cross, so that people in need can also enjoy that little extra.

A mackintosh is characterized by a waterproof fabric, lightweight, sealed seams and waterproof zips. Ilse Jacobsen ticks all these boxes and more, because Scandinavian design is in her roots. That's why, in addition to their beautiful appearance, they're also great to wear in the rain. In this way, nobody minds walking in the rain. Water penetration through the seams is prevented by sealed seams that are welded together using an intricate heat fusion technique. There is nothing as annoying as that terrible cold wind that can accompany a heavy downpour. That is why the zips are equipped with a high-quality 2-way YKK Aqua Guard zip. Ilse Jacobsen therefore tests her jackets carefully in the lab. The results speak for themselves: a mackintosh is completely waterproof up to 5000 mm water per square centimeter.

 

Nowadays, the Ilse Jacobsen softshell jacket is an essential part of any jacket collection. This is because this modern fabric gives a new look to a jacket. By nature, the fabric is more porous than a mackintosh, but Ilse Jacobsen has thought of something. She applies the water and dirt repellent ecorepel® coating to the mackintosh. The fibres are soaked in this coating that you can enjoy a water-repellent jacket that can easily withstand a shower of rain for a very long time. The advantage of a softshell jacket is that it has a pleasant fleece lining on the inside, which makes it great as a mid-season jacket. Besides, you can wear it a long time in the winter. During a rainstorm, you won't get wet because of the coating and at the same time moisture (sweat) can escape through the breathable membrane. Just like the mackintoshes, the Ilse Jacobsen softshell jackets are equipped with high-quality 2-way YKK Aqua Guard zips, so that the zip does not get wet. Furthermore, the softshell mackintoshes are water-repellent up to 5000 mm per square centimetre. Seams are hand-taped to prevent water from penetrating through stitching holes. The breathability is high. Per square centimetre 3000 grams of moisture can evaporate in 24 hours.
