Founded in Scotland in 1824 by chemist Charles Macintosh, Mackintosh is the originator of the waterproof coat. The brand was born from Macintosh’s revolutionary invention of a rubberized cotton fabric, a technological breakthrough that offered unparalleled protection from rain and cemented the “Mac” as a generic term for any raincoat. For nearly two centuries, every coat has been handmade in the UK by skilled artisans who learn the intricate technique of spreading the rubber glue by hand to create fully waterproof seams. This dedication to craftsmanship results in an exceptionally durable and timeless product.
