Built for the Cold: Why the Corrie Down Jacket Is the Winter Essential
When the wind cuts across open ground and the frost refuses to lift, only a few layers can genuinely stand between you and the cold. The Corrie Down Jacket was built for exactly those days — the deep-winter mornings, the long walks through exposed country, and the journeys that start in darkness and end in it again.
It’s not a technical trophy piece- the Corrie is durable, quietly refined, and dependable. The kind of jacket you’ll wear for years and wonder how you managed before it.
Natural Warmth
At the heart of the Corrie is natural goose down — one of nature’s best insulators. It traps air efficiently, offering serious warmth.
Unlike synthetic fills, goose down adapts as you move. When you’re active, it breathes; when you stop, it holds warmth close. It’s the difference between feeling wrapped up and feeling comfortable.
Inside, a moisture-wicking liner helps regulate temperature and comfort throughout the day, keeping you dry even when you’re on the move or layering over a shirt or fleece.
- Fill: ethically sourced natural goose down
- Liner: moisture-wicking inner shell for dryness and comfort
Built for British Weather
The Corrie’s durable matt outer material was chosen deliberately. There’s no high-shine finish here — no plastic feel, no crinkling, no resemblance to a bin bag. Just a soft, hard-wearing shell that takes on the weather.
It’s water-repellent and wind-resistant, capable of handling light rain, mist and sharp coastal winds without losing breathability. The fabric is tough, yet flexible enough for easy movement.
Every detail has a purpose:
- Elasticated cuffs and hem seal out the cold
- Pull-cord adjustable hood gives a secure fit and full peripheral vision
- Two deep hand pockets for warmth and practicality
- High collar for protection when the wind picks up
No fuss, no excess — just what’s needed to make the jacket a reliable companion all winter.
A Versatile Winter Essential
The Corrie was designed to simplify your winter wardrobe. It’s the piece that works with almost everything — over a Brae Flannel Shirt, or thrown on over knitwear when temperatures really drop.
It’s substantial enough for a day outdoors, yet refined enough to wear when meeting friends after.
It quickly becomes the piece you leave by the door all season long.
Details That Matter
Every decision in the Corrie’s design was made for longevity and performance:
- Matt, weather-resistant shell: quiet and understated
- Premium natural down fill: efficient warmth
- Moisture-wicking liner: comfortable in variable conditions
- Elasticated hems and cuffs: trap warmth without restriction
- Draw-cord hood: snug fit with full vision in rain or wind
- Discreet branding: letting the design speak for itself
-
External chest pocket: easy access to essential items
These are the kinds of details you only notice after years of use — when they’ve quietly proven their worth.
Care and Longevity
A well-made down jacket can last for many winters. A little care goes a long way:
- Air it regularly after wear to keep the down lofted
- Use a specialist down detergent when washing
- Dry thoroughly with clean tennis balls to restore loft
- Store uncompressed — hang it rather than folding
The Gift of Dependability
The Corrie isn’t a novelty purchase or a passing trend — it’s a jacket built for genuine need. For the person who’s always outside before sunrise, or the one who refuses to let weather change their plans, it’s a thoughtful gift that will be used, day after day.
And like the best gifts, it improves with time — shaping itself to the wearer, softening slightly, becoming a familiar part of winter life.
Your Go-To Winter Layer
If the Brae Flannel Shirt is autumn and the Kinloch Fleece is year-round, then the Corrie Down Jacket is winter through and through.
It’s dependable, comfortable, and built to face the cold without compromise. Once you’ve worn it a few times, it becomes the piece you reach for without thinking — your go-to for winter in the countryside.
