Thanks to Junya Watanabe's brilliant nautical themed SS/11 show (complete with models with sopping wet "fresh-off-the-trawler" hair styles), the Fisherman's jacket is having, what fashion likes to call, a moment. Here are our pick of the best, with a few windcheater styles throw in for good measure

A classic rain jacket from that quintessentially British brand, Ben Sherman. Wear for fashion and practical rain protection reasons

Pull-on rain proof jacket from outdoor specialist Penfield. We like this; it's a jolly shade of red (very next season), has a giant pocket for the essentials and it will actually keep you dry (unlike a 'fashion' windcheater we own from a trendy sports brand that shall remain nameless)

This jacket's boxy cut has an air of Marni about it which is never a bad thing. The apple green is perfect for early season colour blocking and looks great with denim

The funnel collar and front hand warmer pockets give this coat just enough detail, not to mention creating a functional Spring coat for those windy February days

Scribble prints are not everyone's cup of tea but they happen to be ours and maybe you will join us in a cup of Marni's sophisticated naiveté

There is something very upbeat and super cool about this yellow fisherman's raincoat by YMC. Sure to brighten the dullest of rainy days, style with jeans and a statement spring knit. Its also a snip of the price of the Junya Watanabe catwalk version

The mission statement of this fantastic brand puts it so well we are going to quote them: "Designed and manufactured in London, Percival uses lasting honest fabrics in styles that capture a sense of boyish adventure with playful buttons and lining but stand alone in their simplicity and fit". You had us at 'boyish adventure'...

Light enough to roll up and stuff in your backpack. We like this navy Topman jacket, it's very Junya Watanabe

Outdoorsy fashion guy - this is the spring jacket for you. Note the drawstring hood to really 'cheat' those winds

Sometimes you just don't want to wear black or navy. For those times there is this ever-so-Jil-sander orange windcheater from New Look. Great price too
