regatta x christian lacroix

It is a collaboration that applies Christian Lacroix’s colour, print and fashion direction to Regatta outdoor products. The range can include waterproof jackets, padded coats, fleece, hoodies and changing robes. Performance is still model-specific, so buy from the waterproofing, insulation and fit details as well as the design.

It is designed as a waterproof shacket: the cut resembles an overshirt, but current versions use weatherproof construction and a packaway hood stored in the collar. It suits commuting and city wear where a conventional hiking shell looks too technical. Check the stated seam and waterproof details before relying on it for prolonged exposed walking.

They provide the oversized changing space, wind protection and weatherproof outer expected from a changing robe, with collaboration prints adding the visual distinction. As with other waterproof robes, the lining is not necessarily as absorbent as a cotton towel. Compare size, lining, seam construction and hood coverage rather than choosing by print alone.

Some pieces use fashion-led shapes such as shackets, quilted coats or unisex robes, so the silhouette may differ even when the size chart is Regatta-based. Check chest, hip and garment length, especially for longer or oversized styles. A unisex label may create broader shoulders and straighter shaping than women-specific outerwear.

Follow the garment label and treat it as technical outerwear if it has a membrane or water-repellent finish. Close fastenings, avoid fabric conditioner and use a suitable technical cleaner where specified. Wash inside out when practical to reduce abrasion to the print, but do not apply heat or reproofing products unless permitted for that exact fabric.
