Rain coats at Marco Jacket start from function, waterproof or water-resistant construction confirmed on the product’s own page, with a color and shape pulled from a specific film, streaming show or on-air look layered on top of that. Shop rain coats made to order here, each one produced only after your size is checked against that listing’s own chart. Movie outfits and TV show outfits carry more of that same inspired-by approach across other silhouettes.
A rain coat earns its place in this category by what it actually does, not by one required silhouette: something has to hold up to real rain, whether through a fully waterproof build or a lighter finish that only resists water, before the styling on top of that even comes into the conversation. The lineup currently available here layers a specific film, streaming show or screen look onto that functional base, spanning a hooded, relaxed shell on one side and a more structured, collared cut on the other. What follows covers where rubberized rainwear actually came from, what separates a genuinely waterproof build from one that merely resists water, how the pieces here split by construction, and where a rain coat's job stops looking like a trench coat's.
Scottish chemist Charles Macintosh patented his waterproofing process in 1823, after finding that coal tar naphtha, a byproduct of gas manufacturing, could dissolve natural rubber into a liquid thin enough to spread rather than mold. He used that dissolved rubber as a kind of adhesive layer, pressing it between two sheets of wool cloth so the rubber itself never touched skin or weather directly, and the resulting fabric became the basis for the coat that still carries a version of his name today, even though the fabric mackintosh now refers to moved past actual rubber and wool decades ago. The core idea, a waterproof barrier sealed between two layers of cloth instead of left exposed on its own, is still recognizable in how a laminated rain shell gets built two centuries later.
Waterproof and water resistant describe two different levels of protection rather than two names for the same thing. A genuinely waterproof shell pairs a fabric or coating that blocks water outright with taped or sealed seams, since a seam is exactly where stitching punctures the outer layer and would otherwise let water straight through; a finish that only resists water, commonly a durable water repellent (DWR) coating applied to the fabric's surface, makes rain bead up and roll off for a while but wears down with repeated washing and can eventually soak through in sustained rain. Some outdoor brands rate waterproofing in millimeters of hydrostatic head, a measure of how much water pressure a fabric resists before it seeps through, though that exact figure is not something every rainwear listing publishes. Of the four styles currently here, the Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist Raincoat carries the stronger claim, genuine waterproof construction confirmed directly on its own page, down to care instructions about reapplying a waterproof spray as it ages. The other three describe a finish that resists water in their own care notes rather than full waterproofing, worth knowing upfront if staying dry through sustained rain matters more to you than matching one specific look.
The Selena Gomez A Rainy Day in New York Raincoat and the Stranger Things Season 04 Max Mayfield Rain Coat both build around the same basic approach: an attached hood, a closure quick enough to work one-handed, and open hem cuffs that keep the sleeves loose instead of cinched tight, casual proportions meant to be thrown on fast rather than tailored close to the body. The Selena Gomez piece carries a deep burgundy colorway and a snap-tab front pulled from the character Chan's look in the film, cut mid-length with room to layer underneath; the Max Mayfield piece swaps that for a bold yellow shell with a red interior lining accent lifted from the character's season 4 wardrobe. Sharing a construction approach does not make the two read as the same coat in different colors, since the styling references pull from entirely different sources.
The The Today Show Savannah Guthrie Pink Rain Coat and the Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist Raincoat above both skip the hood in favor of a more structured cut instead, a lapel collar and buttoned front closure on the pink coat referencing a live-broadcast look, and a comparably tailored silhouette on the Zoey's piece pulled from the show's wardrobe styling. Losing the hood is a genuine functional tradeoff rather than only a style choice, since a hooded shell keeps rain off the head and neck in a way a lapel collar cannot on its own, so choosing either of these two for the sharper silhouette means giving up some of that head coverage.
Every coat in this category borrows its color palette, silhouette or general styling from a specific character, show or on-air personality's look, and each product's own page states plainly that the piece is independently designed rather than officially licensed, authorized, manufactured or endorsed by the studio, network or individual referenced. That distinction carries a little extra weight here specifically, since two of these four reference a real person and a live morning broadcast rather than a fictional character, and the non-endorsement language on that particular listing is just as explicit as it is on the two pieces drawing from scripted shows. The site's wider celebrity outfits category groups that real-person styling approach together across other garment types beyond just rainwear.
It is worth being specific about where this category ends and a nearby one begins, especially since both sit inside the same wider coats collection. Marco Jacket's trench coats category is defined by a silhouette, a belt, a storm flap and a structured collar that keep the same basic shape regardless of fabric, including one nylon trench built with real water resistance layered on top of that shape. Rain coats here work the other way around: the shared thread is construction that's actually ready for weather, waterproof or water resistant, and the silhouette is free to swing from a hooded casual shell to a tailored, collared cut depending on the specific style. A coat can pick up a hood or a belt-style detail from either category without actually belonging to it; what decides the category is whichever trait that piece is actually built around, a fixed silhouette on one side, weather function on the other.
None of these four exist finished in a warehouse waiting on a buyer: placing the order is the step that actually starts the pattern being cut, matched against whichever size chart lives on that specific listing. A hood or a lapel collar sized to sit awkwardly changes how well either one actually does its job in real rain, so checking the individual product's fit notes matters more here than it would on a coat where one size runs generic across every style in the category. A number that lands past either edge of the printed chart is not automatically a dead end, write to sales@marcojacket.com with your actual measurements first and hear back on what that specific pattern can still accommodate before you place the order.
A washing machine's spin cycle and high heat are the two things most likely to shorten a treated rainwear fabric's working life, so spot cleaning or a gentle hand wash is the safer default across every coat in this category unless a specific product's own care label says otherwise. Skip the dryer entirely and let the coat air dry flat or on a hanger instead, since heat is exactly what breaks down a rubberized or coated surface, the same vulnerability Macintosh's original rubber-and-wool sandwich had two centuries ago. On the piece confirmed as genuinely waterproof, reapplying a waterproof spray periodically, as that product's own care notes recommend, is worth doing once beading on the surface starts to fade rather than waiting until water actually gets through.
The Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist Raincoat is the one that states genuine waterproof construction outright on its own page. The other three describe a finish that resists water in their care instructions rather than full waterproofing.
Waterproof construction combines a water-blocking fabric or coating with taped or sealed seams so water cannot get through the stitch lines. Rainwear rated water resistant instead relies on a surface treatment that causes rain to bead and roll off for a while but wears down over time and with washing.
No. Every piece here is independently designed and its own listing states it is not licensed, authorized, manufactured or endorsed by the studio, network or individual referenced.
No. It uses a lapel collar and a buttoned front instead of a hood, a more tailored look than the two hooded, casual-cut pieces in this category.
Silhouette versus function. Trench coats keep a belted, storm-flapped, structured-collar shape regardless of fabric, while rain coats are organized around whether they actually hold up to weather first and can take a hooded shell or a tailored, collared shape depending on the specific style.
It can, especially with repeated machine washing or high heat from a dryer, both of which break down the treated finish faster than gentle hand washing and air drying would.
