Men's Packable Coats

A packable coat or jacket is a lightweight, travel-friendly outerwear piece designed to offer protection from the elements while being easy to fold, compress and stow away when not in use. At Mackintosh, our men’s packable jackets are the embodiment of refined practicality - crafted for those who demand both performance and polish in their wardrobe.
Unlike traditional outerwear, a packable jacket is engineered with advanced, crease-resistant fabrics that maintain their shape and elegance even after being folded into a suitcase, backpack or briefcase. Whether you're commuting through the city or navigating a weekend getaway, a men’s packable coat ensures you're prepared for sudden changes in weather without compromising on style.
Our men’s packable raincoats and men’s packable rain jackets are tailored with the same meticulous attention to detail that defines every Mackintosh garment. They offer water resistance, breathability and a streamlined silhouette - making them ideal for the modern man on the move.
In essence, a packable jacket is not just about convenience - it’s about versatility, craftsmanship and timeless design. It’s outerwear that adapts to your lifestyle, wherever it may take you.

Mackintosh packable jackets are crafted using advanced technical fabrics that prioritise both performance and elegance. While traditional Mackintosh coats are known for their signature bonded cotton and rubberised construction, the packable range is designed with modern travel and versatility in mind.
These jackets typically feature lightweight, crease-resistant synthetic blends, such as nylon or polyester, often with a water-repellent or waterproof finish. This ensures that each men’s packable raincoat or men’s packable rain jacket remains compact, durable and ready to wear straight from your bag - no ironing or reshaping required.
Despite their lighter construction, Mackintosh’s packable jackets maintain the brand’s hallmark of refined tailoring and minimalist design. The materials are carefully selected not only for their technical performance - such as breathability, quick-drying properties and resistance to wind and rain - but also for their ability to hold a sharp silhouette.
In essence, the materials used in Mackintosh packable jackets reflect a perfect balance of heritage craftsmanship and contemporary innovation, offering outerwear that is as functional as it is timeless.

Folding a packable coat - especially one from Mackintosh - is all about preserving its shape and ensuring it’s ready to wear straight from your bag. Here’s a simple, elegant method to fold your men’s packable jacket or men’s packable raincoat:

How to Fold a Packable Coat
1. Lay the Coat Flat
Place the coat face down on a clean, flat surface. Smooth out any wrinkles with your hands.
2. Fold the Sleeves Inward
Fold each sleeve straight across the back so they meet in the middle. The coat should now form a long rectangle.
3. Fold Vertically
Fold one side of the coat over the other lengthwise, aligning the edges neatly.
4. Roll or Fold Horizontally
Starting from the bottom hem, either roll the coat tightly upwards or fold it in thirds, depending on your preference and the coat’s material.
5. Use the Internal Pocket or Pouch (if included)
Many Mackintosh packable jackets come with a built-in pouch or internal pocket designed for storage. Simply invert the pocket and tuck the coat inside.
This method keeps your men’s packable rain jacket compact, crease-resistant and ready for travel.
