Makita 98P220-XXL 50th Anniversary Soft Shell Jacket Size XXL

Makita 98P220 50th Anniversary Soft Shell Jacket, Black Size XXL

The Makita 98P220 50th Anniversary Soft Shell Jacket is a limited-edition black jacket built for tradespeople who wear their kit hard, and for Makita enthusiasts who want a piece of the brand's UK history. It celebrates 50 years of Makita in the UK — the company's first office outside Japan — and carries anniversary branding alongside the "Get the Job Done" logo on the sleeve, detailing you won't find on standard Makita workwear.

The outer is 100% polyester soft shell, the fabric trades choose for its balance of warmth, stretch and easy care. It is weather resistant, shrugging off wind and light conditions, and it dries fast. It is not a waterproof shell, so for sustained heavy rain you will still want a hard shell over the top — but for the other 300 days of the year this is the layer you actually reach for.

Storage where you need it

A full zip fastening lets you dump heat fast when you are working and seal it back up the moment you stop. Three zip pockets give you secure storage for a phone, tape, pencil, keys and a multi-tool — zipped, so nothing empties onto the floor when you bend into a cupboard or crouch under a unit.

A fit that stays where you put it

Elasticated wrist cuffs seal the sleeve at your wrist so it does not ride up your forearm when you lift or reach overhead, and they keep dust and draughts out of the sleeve. The elasticated waist does the same at the hem, so the jacket does not flap on a windy scaffold or gape at your back when you bend over a bench. The collar adds a layer of warmth and protection at the neck, where most of the cold gets in. Makita cuts it as a comfort fit — room to move and to layer a hoodie underneath, without the bulk of a site coat.

Site to weekend without changing

The sleek black colourway and modern styling mean this does not read as workwear the moment you leave the job. It works at the merchant's counter, on the school run and at the weekend just as well as it does on site, which is exactly why soft shells have become the default layer for trades who do not want to change twice a day. It is a unisex cut, so it suits any member of the crew.

A collector's piece as well as a working layer

Anniversary runs are produced once. For Makita owners, the 98P220 marks a specific moment in the brand's UK story, and the anniversary detailing makes it recognisable among Makita enthusiasts rather than a generic branded jacket. When it is gone, it is gone.
