Baleno Livingstone Men's Long Raincoat with Hood
APRIL SALE OF SOME SIZES (BOOKMARK THIS PAGE AS IS HIDDEN ON WEBSITE). The Livingstone is also now marketed by Longcoats under the name "Newlyn". It is the same coat but rebranded to fit in with the our Cornish theme (Longcoats is Cornwall based).
If you experience British weather, and have to venture out in it whether you like it or not, then you need a Livingstone coat. We took the Livingstone coat out in storms Dennis and Ciara and stayed dry from tip to toe. The Livingstone is the ideal long coat for walking the dog: no faffing around with over-trousers. The outer material the Livingstone is made from is rugged yet soft to the touch. The coat has a moleskin-lined collar and is fully-lined internally. Once you have owned a long coat you will never look back: you go out in the wind and the rain and you stay dry - that's it.
MATERIAL: "Feels like smooth cotton/canvas". The outer fabric is a textured Dobby weave in 85% polyester 15% polyamide, with a waterproof PU laminate backing. Faux moleskin-lined collar and cuffs.
WARMTH: The Livingstone is medium-weight ensuring you do not overheat during milder conditions and means the bottom half of the coat does not blow open in the wind.. Fully lined - not quilted or padded.
LAYERING: You will likely need to layer up for winter weather or you can purchase an optional zip-in fleece.
BREATHABILITY: 3.000 gr/m².
WATERPROOF RATING: 8,000mm hydrostatic pressure test.
WEIGHT: 1.6kg
LENGTH: Full, over the boot.
HOOD: Yes, with drawstring. Detachable via press studs. Also adjustable via strap and velcro on hood top.
CUFFS: Edged with faux-moleskin and adjustable via two press studs.
SEAMS: Taped.
MAIN ZIPS: One "chunky" zip (we like) for closing against the weather (protected by a material flap) and a second, smaller zip, for adding an optional fleece or gilet. The main zip ends approx. 64cm from the hem.
POCKETS: Outer pockets have covering flaps and press studs to keep contents dry and secure. Inside the coat there is a separate mesh pocket and a zipped pocket (15x15cm) - handy for your phone or keys.
PRESS STUDS: Strong studs, spaced 16cm apart, that continue the length of the coat until about 24cm from the hem.

COATS: In general it is best to brush the dirt off rather than washing. The less that coats are washed the longer they will last. The care label can be found on the garment. NO fabric softener or tumble drying as they can dissolve the taping and dry out the laminations which can lead to leaking.
FLEECES: Follow care instructions on label.
TAPED SEAMS
This is a method used to make materials waterproof by putting a waterproof tape or liquid sealant along the seams (usually on the inside so it can't be seen).
WATERPROOF
Resists water droplets from passing through. Water resistance is measured by the amount of water, in mm, which can be suspended above the fabrics before water passes.
WINDPROOF
"Windproof" fabric doesn't let the wind come through. It is very useful to keep you warm. Fabrics are made windproof by membrane or by weaving them very tightly.
BREATHABLE
Allows body heat and perspiration to pass through. Breathability is measured by the rate at which water vapour passes through, in units of grams of water vapour.
waterproof testing
We are pretty obsessed with staying dry. As well as using our coats all year round, in all weather conditions, we test them in a variety of ways - including a fairly intense hosepipe test. Even after a full five minutes of hosing the coats remain completely dry inside.
