Flotte Khaki Hooded Funnel Neck Rain Jacket - Froissart

Flotte Khaki Hooded Funnel Neck Rain Jacket — Froissart

The Froissart is a mid-length waterproof rain jacket from Flotte, made from 100% recycled polyester with heat-sealed seams, designed for Irish weather and everyday wear where function and understated style need to work together. The funnel neck and large hood provide real weather protection without bulk, and the straight, clean silhouette fits neatly over light knitwear for layering without adding volume. At €175, this is a jacket built to last multiple seasons, not a seasonal purchase.

Fit and Sizing

Take your usual size for a standard, comfortable fit. The Froissart is designed to sit cleanly on the body without excess fabric, and it easily accommodates a light knit or merino wool layer underneath for colder months. If you're between sizes, the adjustable drawcord waist and cuffs give you flexibility to tailor the fit; the straight silhouette works well for most body shapes without requiring additional tailoring. Available in sizes XS–L.

Best For

• Dog walking in Irish weather and rural coastal conditions
• Commuting and school runs where you need reliable waterproofing without fuss
• Travel days and city breaks where one jacket needs to handle variable weather
• Weekend casual outings — farmers' markets, country walks, errands where function matters more than formality
• Smarter casual occasions where a considered raincoat elevates rather than undercuts the outfit
• College and university environments where durability and understated style matter

Styling Guidance

The khaki tone sits between neutral and intentional, working equally well with denim and tailored trousers. Layer it over a cream or soft grey knit for a composed, Parisian-influenced look, or pair with darker bases — navy, charcoal, forest green — to let the jacket's colour stand out. The funnel neck naturally suits higher necklines underneath, so consider roll-necks or crew necks over lower, floppy collars. Footwear-wise, this jacket bridges smart and casual, so leather loafers, ankle boots, or clean white trainers all work depending on the occasion.

• Works well with: tailored trousers, dark denim, merino wool knitwear, leather ankle boots, loafers, clean trainers
• Colour palette: Cream, soft grey, navy, charcoal, forest green, ivory
• Layering suggestion: Light knit or merino layer for autumn and winter; worn alone over a t-shirt in spring and summer
