My latest rainwear purchase

Post by Bill_P »

Black Rajkumar rubber raincoat with the old-fashioned buckle closures, and a new "hypalon" coated black sou'wester. Once again I chose to modify the coat by cutting off the overly large pointy hood & just go with the sou'wester.

I have to say that I was disappointed in the quality of the craftsmanship of this coat, unlike my yellow one which is superb. This time, when I tried it on for the first time, three of the buckles came right off when I tried to fasten them. It appears they used rivets that were too small for the holes that were punched in the coat, and looking at my yellow coat, sure enough it had larger rivets. Fortunately I had plenty of 5/16 inch rivets in my wife's sewing basket & was able to effect a quick repair (the hardest part was popping the old rivets off the detached buckles), so it's good as new now.
