Flotte Navy Hooded Funnel Neck Rain Jacket - Froissart

Flotte Navy 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

Navy is the most versatile jacket colour in any wardrobe — it grounds lighter pieces and adds depth to neutral outfits. Wear it over cream, soft grey, or camel for a classic, composed look, or pair with warm earth tones like rust or terracotta for a more considered aesthetic. The navy also works beautifully over jewel tones or dark jewel bases if you want the jacket to recede into the background. The funnel neck naturally suits higher necklines underneath, so consider roll-necks or crew necks over lower, floppy collars. This is the jacket that works equally well with tailored trousers for a smarter occasion or relaxed jeans for everyday wear.

• Works well with: tailored trousers, dark and light denim, merino wool knitwear, linen shirts, leather ankle boots, loafers, clean trainers, ballet flats
• Colour palette: Cream, soft grey, camel, rust, terracotta, white, ivory, burgundy
• Layering suggestion: Light knit or merino layer for autumn and winter; worn alone over a t-shirt in spring and summer

Care Instructions

• Close all zips before washing
• Wash cold at maximum 30°
• Use the delicate cycle with gentle spin
• Do not tumble dry — air dry flat or hung
• Use liquid detergent only
• Do not use fabric softener
• Do not iron or use a steam iron
• Re-proof with a DWR (durable water-repellent) spray annually or after repeated washing to restore water resistance
