DIDRIKSONS: Waterproof jackets with Swedish roots since 1913

DIDRIKSONS makes jackets for weather you’d rather avoid. The brand was founded in 1913 by Julius and Hanna Didrikson in the Swedish fishing village of Grundsund, where they made waterproof workwear for fishermen. More than a century later, DIDRIKSONS is still designing raincoats and parkas from its home in Borås that keep you dry and warm. At Sophie Stone, you’ll find the women’s collection: from lightweight raincoats to warm winter parkas.

Why choose a DIDRIKSONS jacket?

You choose a DIDRIKSONS jacket for what it does: keep rain and wind out. All jackets in our collection have a water column rating of at least 8,000 mm—the parkas even reach 10,000 mm—with taped seams to ensure no water seeps in through the stitching. The water-repellent finish is PFAS-free; DIDRIKSONS stopped using these fluorinated compounds back in 2015.

The rain jackets are made from Galon®, a PVC-free, polyurethane-coated polyester developed by DIDRIKSONS that does not require re-waterproofing. The quilted parkas combine a waterproof outer fabric with an insulating filling made from 100% recycled polyester and a breathability rating of 10,000 g/m²/24h. Practical details such as a padded inner collar, chin guard, elastic inner cuffs, and a drawstring at the waist complete the look. All jackets are vegan.

The DIDRIKSONS Collection at Sophie Stone

Raincoats – The Melinda and Elly raincoats are fully lined raincoats without padding, with a water column rating of 8,000 mm. Perfect for the bike ride to work or a rainy day in the city, available in dark blue and old rust.

Quilted parkas – The Alana (regular fit, in blue and ash brown), Tiril (fitted, mocha brown), Luna (A-line, deep green), and Melody (straight fit, black) are water- and windproof winter parkas with 120 g/m² of recycled polyester filling. Warm enough for the Dutch winter, with a fit for every body type.

All jackets are available in sizes XS through XL and are true to size.

A brand that suits Sophie Stone

At Sophie Stone, we select brands based on materials, production location, and independent certifications. DIDRIKSONS is transparent about this: the jackets are designed in Sweden and manufactured in China and Vietnam, in factories that are monitored through Amfori BSCI audits. The rain jackets carry the OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100 certification, which confirms that the fabric has been tested for harmful substances. And because a DIDRIKSONS jacket is made to last for years, it’s a purchase you’ll enjoy for a long time.

Which DIDRIKSONS jacket is right for you?

Are you looking for a lightweight coat for rainy days in the spring and fall? Then choose the Melinda or Elly raincoat: lined but without padding, so it’s also comfortable to wear over a thick sweater. If you want one coat for the entire winter, the parkas are the better choice. The Alana and Melody have a straight, roomier fit; the Tiril is fitted; and the Luna has an A-line silhouette that drapes beautifully over skirts and dresses.
