{"id":1232,"count":7,"description":"Few garments have kept their shape as long as the sou\u2019wester.\r\n\r\nIt was worn by fishermen in oiled cotton fabric more than a hundred years ago, and it looks much the same today.\r\n\r\nThere is a simple reason: the shape works.\r\n\r\nFarmerrain\u2019s sou\u2019westers are based on the same shape, in materials that are made to last.\r\n\r\n<!--more-->\r\n<h2><\/h2>\r\n<h2>The shape that leads the water away<\/h2>\r\nWhat sets a sou\u2019wester apart from other rain hats is the brim. It is longer at the back than at the front, so that the rain runs off outside the jacket\u2019s collar instead of down the neck.\r\n\r\nAt the front the brim is shorter, so that you can see freely, but it is enough to keep the rain away from the face and the glasses.\r\n\r\nThe ear protection keeps you warm when it is windy, and the drawstring makes the sou\u2019wester stay on in the wind.\r\n\r\n\u2022 Longer brim at the back that leads the water past the neck\r\n\u2022 Protects the glasses from raindrops\r\n\u2022 Ear protection and drawstring\r\n\u2022 Biovinyl+ 430 g\/m\u00b2 with welded seams\r\n\u2022 Water column of over 20,000 mm\r\n<h2>Find your sou\u2019wester<\/h2>\r\nWe have sou\u2019westers for both the working day and everyday life:\r\n\u2022 Sou\u2019wester in Biovinyl+ 430 g\/m\u00b2 has welded seams, ear protection and a drawstring.\r\n\r\nIt comes in eight colours, from black and white to yellow, lime green and camouflage, in sizes XS, M and XL.\r\n\u2022 Sou\u2019wester Joker in Biovinyl+ has the same shape in a different look.\r\n\u2022 Sou\u2019wester All black edition in Raintex Biovinyl+ is all black.\r\n\u2022 Sou\u2019wester Opalo in PVC and Sou\u2019wester Kid for children complete the range.\r\n<h2>To work, the boat and the city<\/h2>\r\nThe sou\u2019wester belongs where it really rains: at sea and in the harbour, in the stable and on the farm, in the forest and out hunting.\r\n\r\nIt is also a simple way to keep your head and glasses dry on the way to\r\nwork.\r\n\r\nTogether with a rain jacket or anorak, the protection is complete.\r\n<h2>Sou\u2019wester or hood?<\/h2>\r\nA hood is attached to the jacket, so when you turn your head it does not turn with you, and it can block the view to the side.\r\n\r\nThe sou\u2019wester sits on the head and follows every movement.\r\n\r\nThe brim also keeps the rain away from the face in a way that a hood does not.\r\n<h2>Made to be used for a long time<\/h2>\r\nBiovinyl+ is based on BIOVYN\u2122, the world\u2019s first commercially available bio-attributed PVC.\r\n\r\nIt gives the same protection as traditional vinyl, but part of the raw material in manufacturing is renewable instead of fossil, and the share is tracked according to the mass balance principle.\r\n\r\nThe most important environmental decision is still to use a garment for a long time.\r\n\r\nA sou\u2019wester in Biovinyl+ is wiped clean with a damp cloth and can be used season after season.\r\n<h2>The fishermen\u2019s hat<\/h2>\r\nThe sou\u2019wester got its name from the south-westerly wind, which brings rain in from the Atlantic.\r\n\r\nIt became part of the oilskins of sailors and fishermen: a hat of cotton or linen fabric made waterproof with linseed oil in several layers.\r\n\r\nThe shape was settled early.\r\n\r\nAt the Smithsonian in Washington there is a sou\u2019wester that was made\r\nin Boston in the early 1880s and that was shown at the great fisheries exhibition in London in 1883.\r\n\r\nIt is made of oiled cotton canvas with a flannel lining, has ear flaps and a brim that is extended at the back to prevent water from running down the neck.\r\n\r\nThe same shape is found along the Swedish west coast.\r\n\r\nAt Bohusl\u00e4n Museum there is a photograph from the 1880s or 1890s of Carl Andersson in an oiled sou\u2019wester and a patterned knitted sweater.\r\n\r\nThe museum also has a sou\u2019wester that was made sometime between 1900 and 1940 and that belonged to the fisherman Gustav Albrektsson from H\u00e4lls\u00f6 in Tanum.\r\n\r\nIt is sewn from oil-impregnated cotton with a four-piece crown, has a brim that is larger at the back than at the front, a lining with ear flaps and a band to tie under the chin.\r\n\r\nDuring the 20th century the oiled fabric was replaced first by rubber and then by PVC.\r\n\r\nThe shape was allowed to remain, and it is what Farmerrain\u2019s sou\u2019westers are based on today, in Biovinyl+ with welded seams.","link":"https:\/\/farmerrain.com\/en\/product-category\/rainwear\/souwester\/","name":"Sou'wester rainwear","slug":"souwester","taxonomy":"product_cat","parent":1219,"meta":[],"menu_order":0,"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.8 -
