Collection: Didriksons

A Legacy of Weather Protection and Innovation

The brand has a simple philosophy: adapt to the elements rather than challenge them.

The journey began on Sweden's west coast when Hanna and Julius Didrikson, moved by personal loss at sea, sought to create better protective clothing. In 1913, they successfully crafted a waterproof garment that could endure harsh winds and downpours, and it's no surprise it was immediately popular with Swedish fishermen!

This breakthrough led to the founding of Didriksons Regnklädesfabrik, marking the start of a brand dedicated to safeguarding people from extreme weather conditions.

 

Sustainable and Ethical Practices

Today, that same care and consideration is at the heart of their mission.

Didriksons' company philosophy draws upon the need to both conquer the elements and protect them. They do this by using no toxic substances or animal-derived materials in any of their products and have found ways to use as little water and energy during their manufacturing processes.

Their goal? To prolong the life of your purchase - and of the environment.

  

Seasonal Collections and Versatile Styles

Every year, Didriksons updates their seasonal collections to bring you the latest in outdoor fashion and functionality.

Their versatile range includes options for men, women, and kids. Whether you're searching for the best waterproof parka for bad weather, a trusty waterproof jacket for your active lifestyle, or just versatile functional clothing for country and town, then this collection has it all.

How to Care for Your Didriksons Jacket

Your new favourite coat from Didriksons is built to take on all kinds of weather and come out victorious!

But even the best waterproof rain jacket needs a little TLC now and then to stay in top shape.

Here are a few care tips: 

Before Washing: Fasten all buttons, zips, buckles, and velcro to minimise wear. Wash the garment inside out to protect its PU coating.

During Washing: Use mild laundry detergent and follow the recommended wash programme and temperature on the label. Avoid fabric softeners to maintain water repellency.

After Washing: Promptly remove the garment from the washing machine. Air dry to preserve the material—avoid tumble-drying or using drying cupboards if possible.

The brand started with a mission to help ensure the safety of fishermen from the harsh seas, and today, they continue to craft jackets with the same care and dedication. With Didriksons, you're not just getting a jacket; you're getting over a century of expertise in staying dry and comfortable.
