Jackets for the way you live
Helen Paterson started with one simple idea. A good jacket should keep you warm, look right, and not cost a fortune. You should not have to pick two out of the three.
Some days it rains the whole way to work. Some days you leave early and get home late. Some days you just want to throw something on and go. Your jacket should be ready for all of it. That is what we care about.
We make jackets for men and for women. Not one shape for one type of person, but pieces that fit the life you actually have.
Our mission
We want to give you jackets you reach for without thinking. Something warm for the cold months, something lighter for the rest of the year, and a few pieces that work whatever the season. Jackets that go with what is already in your wardrobe.
Our vision
We want Helen Paterson to be the shop you think of first when you need a jacket you can trust. We want to show that a good coat does not have to be expensive. The right one lasts you more than a season, and still looks good the year after.
What we believe in
Made for real weather
Rain, wind, cold mornings on the way to the station. Our jackets are made to be worn outside, not to look good on a hanger.
Real quality
We look for pieces that are made well and hold their shape. A jacket you have to replace every winter is not a good deal, however little you paid for it.
For men and for women
Both sides of the shop get the same attention. The same care on the cut, the same care on the fabric, the same prices.
Simple over loud
We stick to shapes and colours you will still like in two years. Nothing that shouts, nothing you will be tired of by spring.
You
Every order comes from a real person we are glad to have here. You are the reason this shop exists. Thank you for being part of it.
