Completely waterproof, breathable material (not just a coating that wears off so never needs reproofing).
Sister to the Lamorna, the stunning Demelza is shorter whilst retaining the same fully waterproof specification. Material is medium-weight and there is no compromise on materials or design features. Ideal for use in town or country and anywhere you want to travel in style. This can be "a long coat for a shorter person".
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 Demelza is medium-weight ensuring you do not overheat during milder conditions. Fully lined - not quilted or padded.
LAYERING: You will likely need to layer up for winter weather (zip-in fleeces do NOT zip into the Demelza).
BREATHABILITY: 3.000 gr/m².
WATERPROOF RATING: 8,000mm hydrostatic pressure test.
WEIGHT: 0.9kg
LENGTH: Medium length.
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). The main zip ends approx. 29cm from the hem.
POCKETS: Outer pockets have covering flaps and press studs to keep contents dry and secure. Inside the coat there is a single mesh open-pocket - handy for your phone or keys.
PRESS STUDS: Strong studs, spaced 11cm apart, that continue the length of the coat until about 17cm>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.
Tweed coats are dry clean only.
FLEECES: Follow care instructions on label.
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).
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" 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.
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.
I have sprayed all coats for over 5 minutes with a hose and all have remained dry. A better test is actually wearing the coats and I do this twice a day on my daily dog walks. Julian Patrick, Longcoats.
