Private White V.C.
Jack's Mac in Midnight
Our signature raincoat. Named after Private Jack White V.C. – soldier, hero, and the man who started it all. Crafted in Manchester from waterproof Ventile, the fabric famously developed at Winston Churchill’s request, it honours the city’s legacy of cotton, innovation, and industry. To our knowledge, it is the most formidable 100% waterproof cotton raincoat in the world.
