Guy Cotten: the timeless yellow raincoat

It was in 1966 that the jacket waterproof rosbraswas born when Yvon Hémery, then head of the Rosbras-Brigneau sailing school near Concarneau, asked his friend Guy Cotten to think about waterproof clothing with a hood for sailing. At the time, we only found the peacoat or jackets with buttons in coated cotton. But this type of clothing or jacket is too heavy. Rain and bad Breton weather pushes Guy Cotten to always be more inventive.

The protection and comfort of the sailor while sailing is essential. It was after a few tries that the zipper, fitted hood and double Velcro flap were retained. The marine wax was born. The famous jacket will be named Ciré marin Rosbras Cap Coz Guy Cotten, from the name of the port located in Finistère.
