Envy is ugly. And selfish. I should know. Last week a simple social media post written by a lovely, young Christian woman sent me into a pit of envy for the better part of an afternoon.

Welcome to the June 2018 edition of An Open Book, hosted both at My Scribbler’s Heart AND CatholicMom.com!

It’s not my favorite way to read, but it’s getting the job done. … Continue reading An Open Book
Palm trees, clear blue waters, soft white sand, colonial buildings washed in mustard paint, bougainvillea flowers - meet your next favourite raincoat - the Caribe. This coat will have you bringing the Caribbean sunshine no matter the weather! Tell me quick: Conscious fashion at its best - recycled plastic is used to create the lightweight outer waterproof fabric as well as the soft grey mesh lining. All the deets: Packable perfection. This rain jacket will fit in the tiniest of spots and weighing in at approx. 500g, is great to have with you for those unexpected, sparkly showers. Waterproof to 10 000mm (high), seam sealed (no water can reach you through the seams) and treated with DWR (Durable Water Repellent) means you won't get wet in a downpour with water beading off you like a duck's back. This is our highest rated waterproof level. Breathable to let water vapour escape while you're getting from home to work or whiling time away at the farmer's market on Saturday morning. Printed layer of fabric and mesh lining are both made from recycled plastic - this is feel good fashion all the way. Scribbler is so proud to finally be able to offer this to you. Reflective elements on side pockets, chest and back so that cars and others can see you in low light. New reflective edging on cuff. Two-way front zipper (YKK - cos they're the best) - so you can ride your bike/horse or sit in your car/a bus comfortably New hood shape with 3-way adjustable hood - because nobody wants water in their eyes when they're trying to see in front of them in a rain shower. Our new hood shape was based on research from our Scribbler fans - better peripheral vision, back of head adjustability and peak adjustability Zippered side pockets to keep your valuables dry and safe when out and about Internal pocket - for those extra special valuables you want to keep close to your heart (quite literally!) Storm flap over the front zip to keep things water tight for you Hidden elasticated cuffs to keep water from running down your arm (and cold shivers up your spine!) Palm cut out cuff for ease of use now with reflective on edge Longer back scoop to protect you even more when moving about Chin guard to protect your chin from the gorgeous yellow zip Rae wears a size 8 (S) and Lan wears a size 16 (2XL). Sizing: our styles are all slim fit, but check our sizing guide for help. Sizes range from 6 (XS) - 22 (5XL). GARMENT CARE: To clean your coat we recommend washing with Nikwax Tech Wash. Then, if your jacket requires DWR re-proofing, wash with Nikwax TX.Direct. We sell a care bundle here with everything you need. See our garment care guide here.
