Re: Vintage rainwear

I think these overshoes are now much improved in both quality & style . My wife has 2 pairs ( from Amazon , of course ! ) - but wears them to protect her expensive trainers ! I also live in the USA but originally lived in the UK . There doesn't seem to be any "hang ups " about wearing ...

Re: Dressing others in rainwear

I have never had a relationship with a woman who had "the fetish" . Some quite liked wearing shiny rainwear but no more than that . My first long term partner was the only one who really indulged me . We had sex with her in various shiny macs but found that the plastic macs ripped so easil...

The only time you can see anything near real rainwear is on commuter trains into major Cities ( San Franci...

Re: Stutterheim Raincoats

I agree with MacExp that the Stockholm does not have a peak as such, but the sides of the hood are slightly scalloped for side vision . There is a 50% sale on at the moment - which has tempted me to add to my collection . If you want one , move now as they tend to end abruptly or by selling out of t...

Re: Stutterheim raincoats

Other than their actual retail outlets , I don't know of anywhere that you could try them on in the UK . Nordstrom , who are a major department store in the USA sell their products but only online as far as I can see. There is a number of Nordstrom stores local to me but I have never seen them "...

Re: HELP!?

I have the black Opal & several other matte ones & the like them all . My ultimate preference though is the Opal, just as Bill says it is great to wear and material is heavier & stiffer than the matte ones . Some might feel a little self conscious in the Opal as it is shiny - personally ...

Re: Stutterheim Opal Raincoat

There is a shorter version which may be more what you are looking for & it is cheaper - although not much . I am seriously tempted but at around $1000 , I think I will wait & see what the sales eventually do to the price . ! I have the Stockholm Opal ( bought in one of their sales ) & th...
