The RAFALE windbreaker combines the classic, timeless fit of an outdoor garment with the attention to detail so dear to Maison Fauve. Your face will be well protected by a lined hood turned up with a small visor and tightened by a drawstring.

The cut is structured with worked cut-outs and worked yokes, an impeccably cut sleeve emphasised with small darts, a large kangaroo pocket with a trompe l'oeil flap (you can slip your hands in but not open the pocket from the top) and a comfortable length. Practical and stylish, it can be reinvented to suit your choice of fabric and your outfits.

A shortened version with 2 ruffles is also possible, requiring less fabric.

The remarkable detail of this pretty sewing pattern: the pleated, twisted cuff, almost like a trademark of your hand-sewn creation (this detail is the same whether you choose the buttoned cuff finish, or the simplified cuff without button version).
