All-weather outdoor clothing for spring!



We've been very busy unpacking our large spring delivery from Didriksons and feasting our eyes on the vibrant colours! We're very excited about the new versions of the ever popular all-weather coats, which are funkier than ever. These versatile jackets are traditional spring coats in Scandinavia, however in the somewhat milder British climate they are ideal for outdoor wear all year round.






Fully waterproof, they make comfortable rain coats and shell jackets in spring, summer and autumn, and with a warm fleece underneath they also work well in winter. They are designed as part of the spring collection; we do our best to get enough in to last through the autumn and winter, but inevitably the most popular sizes tend to sell out so it's a good idea to plan ahead and buy generously sized in spring so that it will last through next year. New for this season is that the red/arctic blue coat is available up to age 10 years.




Also new to us for this season is the lined microfleece jacket, which comes in two lovely colour combinations: wild green stripes with contrasting details in red, and soft red stripes with piping and details in navy. We love that they are cut lower at the back to warm little bottoms! With a nylon mesh lining, they work great as a light jacket on a cool but dry day, or as a warm layer under a shell coat in winter.


In the waterproofs section, we're excited to add a brand new colour for 2010 to our vibrant range of 2-piece rain suits: purple/deep purple, which turns out to work just as well on boys as on girls and is already flying off the shelves.


The ever popular pink/fuchsia is now also back in stock, as is the stylish girls' rain coat with dots, and now in a new colour as well: mint dots. The rain coat is available in sizes up to 12 years, and last year sizes 8, 10 and 12 years sold out particularly quickly.

Spring coat for all weather...


Spring is definitely on its way, but we wanted to share one last(?) snowy picture for this season, all the way from Aberdeenshire! We think Sean looks great in his spring coat, and very funky colour contrasts with his trike too!

Thank you Rebecca for sharing, and please keep them coming!
