Prints play an important role - traditional patterns such as checks and paisley hark back to Mackintosh's history as a British heritage brand.
Monochromatic windowpane check in double faced cotton gives a modern edge to the classic raincoat.
This season's cape features an exclusive Liberty print in subtle paisley.
Stripes appear in different guises throughout the collection. A candy stripe in navy and white brings a sense of fun to the traditional rubberised mac,
and a lightweight waterproof nylon hooded coat comes in a monochromatic pinstripe.
A painterly camouflage print echoes the military references seen elsewhere in the collection and appears here on a breathable waterproof raincoat.
Last season, Mackintosh launched its first line of Japanese denim and this year new styles include a denim hooded coat and a denim classic mac.
Bags are a collaboration with Japanese bag brand Porter and include a rucksack, shoulder bag and tote. Mackintosh's signature rubberised cloth is used on the bags, ensuring they are waterproof and lightweight, with the camouflage print seen in the mainline collection echoed here as well as classic brown and beige.
Mirroring the stylish and classic coats, the presentation was held in The Palm Court at the Waldorf Hilton hotel in London during London Collections Men.
