Whisker Garden Girls Hooded Jacket

Some prints are simply more fun than others, and this is one of them. The Whisker Garden jacket is covered in a charming hand-drawn scene of plump, striped cats and little birds among flowers and clouds, all in soft grey, pink, orange and blue. It is the kind of print that gets noticed and talked about at the school gates.

This is a lightweight hooded jacket built for everyday wear, with two side pockets for little hands and small finds, and a full-length zip that makes dressing quick on busy mornings. The print covers the whole jacket, including the hood, so there is something charming to spot from every angle.

For parents, the practical side matters just as much as the print. The jacket is windproof and waterproof, the lightweight build folds away easily for a school bag or nursery bag, and at £14.99 with free UK delivery, it is an easy and affordable addition to your little one’s wardrobe.

Colour and Design

The jacket comes in a soft grey base, a versatile colour that pairs easily with almost anything already in a young girl’s wardrobe and does not show everyday marks the way lighter colours can.

The all-over print is hand-drawn in style, featuring round, striped cats in orange and pink alongside small blue and pink birds, scattered among white clouds and simple flower illustrations. The line-drawn detail gives the print a sketchbook feel rather than a flat cartoon look, which adds character and makes it interesting to look at up close as well as from a distance.

The print covers the entire jacket, including the hood, front and sleeves, so there are no plain panels and the design feels intentional and coordinated whether the hood is up or down. It is a strong option for any girl who loves cats, birds or simply a print with plenty of detail to discover.

Grey works naturally alongside pink, white, denim and most pastel shades, so it slots easily into an existing wardrobe.

Product Specifications

Built for Everyday Wear

The outer shell is made from lightweight polyester that is windproof and waterproof, keeping your child comfortable on breezy days and through light rain without adding bulk. For more on why polyester is such a practical choice for kids outerwear, our guide on what you need to know about polyester covers durability and care in plain terms.

The soft inner lining sits comfortably against your child’s clothing without scratching or bunching, even during active play. The relaxed fit leaves enough room to layer a thin long-sleeve top or light jumper underneath on cooler days, without the jacket pulling or restricting movement.

The attached hood gives proper coverage on breezy or drizzly days, and the full-length zip runs right to the chin so there is no cold gap at the neck. The elasticated cuffs seal in warmth at the wrists, and the two side pockets give little hands somewhere to go, or somewhere to keep small treasures from a walk.

The jacket folds down flat for easy storage, making it simple to keep in a school bag, nursery bag or car for whenever the weather turns.

How to Layer This Jacket

The Whisker Garden works across several seasons in the UK with the right layering underneath.

Spring and autumn: A long-sleeve cotton top or thin fleece underneath is all that is needed. The relaxed fit accommodates a layer comfortably without restricting movement.

Summer evenings: The lightweight build means it works well over a short-sleeve top for cooler summer evenings or breezy days out.

Cooler days: Layer a thin jumper underneath and the relaxed fit will still sit comfortably without pulling at the shoulders.

Size Guide

Use the measurements below rather than relying on age alone. Children of the same age can vary significantly in height and build, and getting the right fit makes a real difference to comfort and coverage. If your child sits between two sizes, we recommend sizing up to allow room for layering and a little growing room.

All measurements are taken flat and given in centimetres. For guidance on measuring your child at home, our article on how to take measurements for children’s clothes walks through it step by step. Our full girls size guide is also available if you need additional reference.

Care Instructions

• Machine wash on a gentle cycle
• Wash with similar colours
• Do not bleach
• Hang to dry
• Do not tumble dry
• Do not iron directly onto the printed fabric

Avoid fabric softener, as it can reduce the water-repellent finish over time. For full guidance on washing and maintaining kids jackets so they last as long as possible, see our guide on how to care for kids jackets.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this jacket waterproof?

The Whisker Garden has a lightweight outer shell that is windproof and waterproof, designed for everyday use in changeable UK weather including school runs, park trips and outdoor play. For sustained heavy rain, pairing it with waterproof trousers will give extra coverage.

What age range does this jacket cover?

It is available in five sizes covering ages 1 to 6 years. Because children vary in height and build, we always recommend matching your child’s chest and height measurements to the size chart rather than choosing by age alone.

Can I machine wash this jacket?

Yes. Machine wash on a gentle cycle with similar colours. Do not bleach, do not tumble dry, and do not iron directly onto the print. Hang to dry. Avoid fabric softener to preserve the water-repellent finish.

Does the hood stay in place?

Yes. The attached hood is shaped to sit snugly over the head and gives solid coverage. It is a fixed hood rather than a drawstring-adjustable one, so on very windy days a thin hat underneath can help keep it in position for younger toddlers.

Does this jacket have pockets?

Yes. The Whisker Garden has two side front pockets, ideal for keeping little hands warm or holding small treasures collected on a walk.

Do I qualify for free delivery?

Yes. At £14.99, this jacket is above the £13 free UK delivery threshold so free standard shipping is applied automatically at checkout. Delivery typically takes 3 to 10 working days.

What if the size is wrong or it is not what I expected?

We offer a 30-day money back guarantee. Contact us within 30 days of receiving your order and we will arrange a return or exchange with no fuss.

Is there room to layer a jumper underneath?

Yes. The relaxed fit leaves comfortable room for a thin long-sleeve top or light jumper underneath without the jacket pulling or restricting movement. There is no need to size up just to layer.
