TRENCHES
Size guide
The S, M, L, and XL sizes of the REKIS trench coat were specifically designed for the Gust and Full Gust models.
They take into account the oversized fit of the trench coat and its different configurations, with or without integrated leg warmers.
The trench coat is designed to offer great freedom of movement, especially when cycling, and to be easily worn with multiple layers.
We recommend referring to the measurement chart below, rather than your usual size.
If in doubt, please contact us at contact@rekis.fr.

Traceability
Traceability & responsible manufacturing
We control every step of the manufacturing process of your trench coat, from the selection of raw materials to the final production.
Origin of materials
Our 3-layer Sympatex® fabric is made in Europe: outer fabric France, membrane developed Germany, and inner fabric Spain.
Design and development
Your trench coat is entirely designed in France, in Rennes and Claveyzon, in collaboration with Toptex Cube, a recognized specialist in technical and functional clothing.

The cutting is done in France at Toptex Cube and the assembly is carried out by Toptex Cube's subsidiary in Tunisia, guaranteeing controlled, monitored and socially responsible production.
Interview
Washing
Wash your trench coat inside out at a maximum of 30°C, with the zips closed, after removing the zipped leg liners. Do not overload the machine and use a regular detergent without fabric softener or bleach.
Drying
Air dry only on a hanger. Do not tumble dry to preserve the heat-sealed seams and fabric performance.
Ironing
Do not iron. If necessary, steaming is possible without direct contact of the iron with the fabric.
