The jacket is made of a featherlight black nylon with a high gloss, quilted in vertical channels and lightly padded. It catches the light like wet lacquer, and the edges, where tweed would have braid, carry a fine ribbed trim that imitates it with a wink.

• A glossy black nylon, featherlight and smooth. It reflects the light like rain on lacquer.
• Vertical quilting, in slim channels. It gives the jacket structure and a gentle warmth.
• A light padding, barely there. It keeps the wind out without adding volume.
• A ribbed trim on the pockets, where the braid would be. It is a playful nod to the tweed original.
• A nylon lining, smooth and glossy. Rain or shine, it slips on in a second.

A cropped, collarless jacket with a round neckline, a full front zip, four patch pockets and long sleeves with buttoned cuffs. The cut is exactly that of the classic Chanel jacket, only lighter, shinier and much braver in the rain.

• A round, collarless neckline, clean and graphic. It keeps the original Chanel line.
• A front zip, from neckline to hem. It is quicker than any row of buttons.
• Four patch pockets, with silver-tone buttons. They structure the front.
• A short, straight hem, at the hip. It works with trousers, jeans and skirts alike.
• From the city to the mountains: over a tweed suit on a rainy day, with jeans and loafers, with ski trousers in the Alps.
