Re: Raincoat Party - Makerfield by election

Sounds great!

I'll add: a reinstatement of all the greatly-missed 'oldschool' PVC formulations from the 1960s, 70s, 80s, and 90s-Y2K.

Re: Blue Plastic Suit & more

I love the glossy glass clear blue PVC suit.

The music track is nice, too. It has an early 2000s 'vibe' to it.

Re: Watching out for rainwear

Call me 'old fashioned', but I have never been a big fan of watching p**n (my idealised view of sex is that it is meant to be a loving act between a man and woman. I'm not particularly religious). Some of the content on adult sites (especially the more 'hardcore' stuff) is too vulgar and degenerate ...

I try on a few PVC Raincoats

I just thought I'd try a few on.

1990s-themed PVC raincoat: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8QcitBbRdaI

Had this custom-made. My only criticism: not quite soft enough. I opted for 54 PHR as it was suggested (by AI) that 400 microns at around 50-54 PHR is a good all-rounder for both inflatables ...

Mortelle Randonnée (1983)

A generous serving of authentic PVC (Polyvinylchloride) rainwear many of us may remember from the 1980s era (well, I was only a little nipper in 1983).

In this French film from 1983, titled: 'Mortelle Randonnée' (translates to: 'Deadly Journey'), actress Isabelle Adjani, starring as a French ...

Re: Rainwear pet peeves…

For me, my biggest source of annoyance is the decline in the sensory and tactile quality of PVC garments/items/clothing sold by 'mainstream' retail outlets ever since the introduction of 6P-free PVC, as more and more of the 'public become feeble-minded with the alarmist and exaggerated "everything ...

Re: Rainwear pet peeves…

Well, I'm feeling a bit 'peevy', having not yet had my dinner, so I might as well chip in :lol:

1) Online retailers who incorrectly label any shiny or semi-shiny clothing/garment as being 'Vinyl' or 'PVC' when it is, most likely (these days!) to be something like EVA/PEVA, POE, TPU, lustrous nylon ...

Re: Rubber or plastic?

Plastic (specifically: PVC, aka polyvinylchloride, aka vinyl) for me. Every time.

But, not just any PVC. It must have a glossy surface, whether opaque and glossy or transparent and glossy. With either DINP or DEHP as the plasticizer, as these not only impart excellent softness and flexibility ...

Re: Anyone else having Ebay issues?

The 'Decline' or 'Deterioration' is happening across the board.

With each passing decade there are more bans, restrictions, surveillance and censorship.

I long for the much simpler times of the 1960s, 1970s, 1980s and 1990s.

I often have problems with ebay, and it is as annoying as hell. For some ...
