Re: Helping me my sbr mackintosh in public
I bought a black SBR mackintosh years ago but I was too scared to go out it. Last year I decided to take the plunge and wear it in public. Since then I've worn it on many occasions and no one takes any notice. My advice is to wear it .

Re: Weather Or Not Raincoats
I have three Weather Or Not Mackintosh's. One lightweight, one medium rubber and one single texture with a rubber lining.
I understand they retired 20 years ago.
I went to there house in Market Drayton where they produced the Mack's.

Re: Rainwear in public
My wife and I went to a local Wetherspoons for lunch and as it was raining and a bit blowy I decided to wear my SBR trench coat. As we approached the door a chap opened it for us and he said "I was just admiring your coat"

Re: What (general ) area are you from?

I would love to chat with other rainwear enthusiast but it appears that either no one wants to chat or that they are embarrassed about wearing rainwear. True, I'm 70 now so I couldn't give a dam what I wear or talk about but I find it hard t...

National Rainwear Day.
I was wondering if we had a National Rainwear Day.
We have so many "National Days" it would be good if we had a national rainwear day or even a week.
I'm sure someone that does social media could arrange it.
