My favourite kagoule.(Not explicit)

Apologies. This should be in the rainwear discussion bit really!
Im back in the uk for a few months. I love it here. The puffer jacket fashion is still about. A great favourite of mine. I have grown up with them back in NZ. I wrote this a few months ago and forgot to submit it!
Queenstown. South Island NZ. I spent many happy times there. Fantastic skiing, great food. Just a great place. I bought one of my favourite anoraks there. Just on the outskirts of town I discovered this wonderful shop. They made all their own kit. It was before the day of the now puffer fash. Theirs was equally shiny and puffy! I had a beautiful pullover kagoul made. Bright shiny yellow, with a huge grey, fur trimmed hood. To this day it is still my fav jacket. So warm, so tactile and, I think its the fur trimmed hood, not me, but the women love it. I never am short of hugs and cuddles when wearing it!
Some of you probably dont like wearing hoods. I grew up spending much time in snow, ice, rain and cold so hoods were attached to most of my coats and jackets. The ones that weren't hooded I had to wear hats and scarves. Not so warm, they kept falling or blowing off, just didn't keep my ears warm. The addition of the fur trim in the seventies was brilliant. This definitely did the job. A fully lined fur hood even better, but it could get a tad hot. The mix of both shiny puffa nylon or vinyl and fur I find not only looks but feels so sexy! Only my opinion of course, but then I am a weird kiwi!
Any of you guys got a fav mac or coat that seems to attract attention? It would be interesting to know! Lets hope this lovely shiny material sticks around for a while longer.
