So, what's your mood? How do you feel today?

Whatever the feeling, the SPIRIT can be your trusted companion ready to enhance every step in all weathers.

The SPIRIT's timeless silhouette fits over any outfit whether you are dressing up or down. The coat pairs perfectly with jeans and a light top, elevating an everyday outfit into a statement. It is able to add structure and style without suffocating the outfit underneath but elevating your outfit no matter what it is. 

The SPIRIT can be adjusted to suit your style as the waist can be cinched to give a feminine silhouette or loosened to give a more masculine vibe. The two way zip also means that the cosy can be unzipped from the bottom giving you flexibility when it comes to styling.

The coat is also able to fit in with a dressed up fancy outfit, as opposed to throwing a tight, plain raincoat over your fabulous outfit. If you are out at an avant-garde fashion event, where you want to ooze style and individuality, do take your SPIRIT raincoat.

If you are someone who likes to wear long or maxi skirts, a long coat is a must in terms of styling and the SPIRIT has you covered. Or on the contrary, if you are wearing a mini skirt with bare legs, you are completely protected.

SPRING

Spring weather is so unpredictable but with the SPIRIT you are always covered.
In the spring the SPIRIT is most efficient as a lightweight, breathable, and technical raincoat. This comes from its three layer membrane material, that protects against wind and spring showers, with its breathability keeping you fresh, no musty smells.

SUMMER

The Spirit’s removable liner becomes the star in the summer. Creating insulation without wearing an encumbering puffer jacket. Perfect around the campfire at night.
Not only is our liner the perfect summer night jacket, its dynamic stitching creates a more stylish outfit than the same old boring horizontal stripes and diamond squares. 

AUTUMN

Autumn weather, especially in Amsterdam and Northern Europe is unpredictable, this is where the SPIRIT shines. You can be prepared for any weather and if you feel a bit of a chill, you can zip in the SPIRIT’s modular liner to add extra insulation to keep you warm. The flexibility of its insulations makes the SPIRIT a highly versatile raincoat, offering protection from the rain and cold, while still remaining relevant in the spring and summer.

WINTER

When it comes to the winter season the SPIRIT is the perfect everyday winter coat with its full body coverage. It makes you feel protected and savvy and you don't need to worry if the rain starts pouring down or if a snow storm comes along.
The long length provides additional coverage, and waterproof winter boots pair perfectly with the SPIRIT’s dramatic flair.

As founder Melanie Brown notes ‘When it comes to clothing, sustainability only has impact when fashion leads. This recognition shows us that rainwear can be fashionable, functional and responsible’

Previous awards won by Melanie Brown include the Dutch haute couture prize, ‘The Frans Molenaar Prijs’ and the International A Design Award in which the Agile Raindress won a silver award in the category Fashion, Apparel and Garment Design.The A Fashion Award offers global recognition, inspiring new trends and pushing the boundaries of fashion design.
Brown has also been selected for numerous international projects including the The Next Green Talent by Vogue Italia and YOOX which was dedicated to talents who focus on sustainability. The platform stands as a reference for responsible fashion consumers around the globe.

An unexpected tale in engineered rainwear with tailoring at its heart, BYBROWN continues to reinvent the idea of outdoor protection, using technology, sustainability and fashion as its guiding force. Based in Amsterdam, and founded by designer Melanie Brown, BYBROWN’s non-conformist, British heritage shines through as elegant designs combine craftsmanship with a contemporary, raw attitude. Working with Blue Sign® approved materials, BYBROWN works alongside partners that care for the environment and its people. The brand is at the forefront of material innovation using recycled coffee grounds and recycled polyester and is always working towards circularity. BYBROWN exists to prove that responsible fashion can be both functional and expressive.

Our Changing World
In today’s world we can no longer ignore the needs of our planet, as difficult as it is, we have to address some of our consumption behaviour. The fashion industry also has to do this and very slowly it is beginning to change. BYBROWN is at the forefront of this change as these principles have always been in our DNA.

DWR and PFA’s or Forever Chemicals 
One of the most important developments in sustainable rainwear is the phasing out of PFAS (Perfluoroalkyl and and polyfluoroalkyl substances) ; often called ‘forever chemicals.’
PFAs are chemicals that don't break down, leading to significant environmental contamination and health concerns.
Many brands are transitioning to shorter-chain PFA’s (C6) which are less damaging than the longer C10 chains, but ultimately the industry is stepping over to more natural, PFAS-free alternatives (C0 treatments).
While PFAS-free alternative DWR performs well and is often OEKO-TEX certified, its main trade-off is slightly lower oil/stain resistance and the need for occassional reactivation. 
At BYBROWN, all new production uses a PFAS-free finish called Ruco Dry Eco Plus, also known as Bionic Finish Eco—a safer, more responsible choice for both people and planet. 

Our Waterproof, Breathable Membrane
As well as DWR coatings, our coats also keep you warm and dry using a technical membrane. Our membrane has a water column above 20,000 mm meaning it can withstand extremely high water pressure—far more than everyday rain.
The water column indicates the level of water pressure that a fabric can withstand before water penetrates it with higher numbers meaning better waterproofing against water pressure. 

To put this into perspective:

• 5,000 mm: light rain
• 10,000 mm: heavy showers 
• 15,000 mm: storms, snow
• 20,000 mm+: extreme outdoor protection

This membrane is also breathable. Its hydrophilic (water-loving) molecular chains absorb moisture vapour from inside the coat and release it outward, preventing buildup of sweat and humidity. The result: you stay dry from the outside and the inside.

Recycling Polyester
Generally synthetics are used in rainwear because they are tough, performance materials that can endure in heavy weather conditions.
Traditionally the technical membranes, which give both waterproofness and breathability are made of polyurethane leading to a blended material that can’t be recycled. Our state of the art membrane is made of 100% polyester which means our materials are mono materials and therefore recyclable.

As a fossil product polyester/plastic suffers from the misuse of single-use plastics and the over consumption within our society.
However Polyester/plastic has many benefits when it comes to recycling.

Recycled polyester has a much higher up-cycling quality than other textiles, giving a strong fibre that can be recycled multiple times. Recycled polyester offers several benefits:

• It can be recycled multiple times without major loss in performance.
• It has a much stronger upcycling potential than most other fibres.
• It reduces reliance on virgin petroleum.
• It gives waste materials a new life.

We aim to run a supply chain that is fully circular, producing all our coats from recycled BYBROWN’s goal is clear: produce all coats from recycled polyester by 2030, completing a fully circular supply chain.

After Purchase Care: 
Extending Longevity Sustainability has always been part of BYBROWN’s ethos, trying to make responsible decisions wherever possible;

• in the material we use,
• where we do our production,
• where are products are sold,
• as well as smaller details, such as the use of recycled labels in the coats and recycled packaging.

After sales care is also an important aspect, on average 20% of a garment’s environmental impact happens at the consumer use stage. Proper care is therefore essential. BYBROWN coats require minimal washing, we encourage spot cleaning. 
When it is needed the coats can be machine washed on a delicates cycle at 30ºC.
The coats can be put in the tumble drier at a low temperature.
When needed the DWR can be renewed with a PFA free, waterproof wash-in treatment that restores water repellency.
With simple care, our coats maintain their performance for many years, allowing you to wear your favourite BYBROWN coat for longer.

Repair instead of Replace
Fashion cannot be truly sustainable without rethinking the way we consume.
We encourage our community to move away from a linear take-make-waste consumption style to one where garments are cared for, repaired, and cherished.
That’s why BYBROWN offers a repair service for all coats.

Crafted in Europe 
All BYBROWN coats are made in Europe through long-standing partnerships in Portugal and Poland. 
We believe in keeping our manufacturing in Europe as this ensures

• higher transparency 
• responsible labour conditions
• exceptional craftsmanship 
• reduced shipping distances

This approach is neither fast nor cheap, but it guarantees quality and integrity in every stitch.

Made With Love, Design, and Real Quality
When you choose a BYBROWN coat you treat yourself to something made with love, design, and true quality. A statement piece for yourself to protect you from the elements but at the same time treating the planet with more respect.
Our coats help you make that step towards circularity.
At BYBROWN, we believe in fair value, our pieces are priced honestly, crafted with care, and designed to last.
We stand for thoughtful consumption, slow fashion, and repairing rather than replacing. It’s simply how we choose to make clothing.

Commute with Confidence 

Rain shouldn’t control your day — and with BYBROWN it doesn’t. 

Whether you drive, cycle, take public transport, or walk, we design rainwear that keeps you protected, comfortable, and effortlessly stylish. 

Cycling – Agile, Spirit, Moxie & Nova 

Cycling in the city can be unpredictable — especially in our hometown of Amsterdam. You need rainwear that gives you freedom to move, keeps you visible, and protects you from sudden showers. It has to be made of breathable materials to keep you comfortable so you arrive at your destination looking as fresh as when you left. 

• Moxie Rainskirt – This skirt transforms into trousers for total freedom of movement. Pair it with our new Nova Bomber Jacket for head-to-toe protection. 
• Agile Raindress – Flowing and unrestrictive, designed for full movement in an upright riding position. A reflective strip down the back keeps you visible, while the hood offers full side-view visibility for safer cycling. 
• Spirit – A statement piece this raincoat is lightweight, breathable, and perfect for commuters who want performance and style. 

Public Transport – Wave & Spirit 

Commuting by bus, tram, or train means navigating changing environments — cold wind one moment, a crowded, stuffy carriage the next. 

Our technical fabrics are both waterproof and breathable, keeping you dry without overheating. 

• Spirit – Comes with a detachable warm layer for added versatility. 
• Wave – Lets you create your own layers underneath for year-round comfort. 

When everyone’s staring at you on the metro, you won’t know if it’s because of your style — or because you’re the only one not dripping wet. 

Walking – Wave, Stream & Spirit 

Walking is the most mindful way to commute — if you’re wearing the right outerwear. 

Moxie - for walking in style. 

• Wave & Spirit – Offer extra protection for autumn and winter, with Spirit’s longer length giving you even more protection. Spirit’s detachable liner also protects against the cold. 
• Stream – Lightweight, breathable, and perfect for summer walks. 

These coats let you enjoy the journey, shielded from puddle-splashes and speeding bikes, so you can arrive calm and collected. 

Car – Stream 

When you’re in the car, comfort matters. You don’t want a coat that feels bulky or restrictive in a confined space. 

That’s where Stream comes in — a lightweight, mid-length raincoat that moves with you. It’s stylish, easy to wear, and offers full waterproof protection for those moments when you do step out into the rain.

Rainwear Reimagined 

At BYBROWN, we challenge the idea that rainwear is just functional. Our coats are designed to be part of your wardrobe — something you want to wear, rain or shine. 

Because staying dry shouldn’t mean hiding who you are. 

Our designs let you feel protected, stylish, and completely yourself. 

So tell us — when it comes to your commute, what problem would we solve for you?
