Re: O the joys of a British Summertime…

I was out today visiting my local NT property dressed similarly to Hunertmacg except that I was wearing my PVC trousers instead of boots as the paths at the NT property have been well maintained. I was greeted by a number of couples however none stopped for a conversation.

On my last visit I was ...

Re: Why is wearing rainwear often considered a perversion?

I read the comments with interest as I am 82 and have been wearing PVC since the age of 16 as one of my hobbies is sailing. It is only in recent times that new technology has produced alternatives to traditional waterproof clothing.

When you are out at sea, with waves crashing over you, PVC is ...

TODAY'S RAIN

I went to my local NT property for a walk in perfect weather today. It was wet and windy.

I was dressed in Weathervain black PVC with matching hat,gloves and facemask. There were very few people about but I did get a nice smile from one of the more mature assistants in the shop.

I must say that ...

Re: weathervain....

I endorse all the positive comments about Weathervain, having purchased PVC macs for my wife and myself over many years.

The advantage of visiting the shop is that by trying on various macs yo can understand the different cuts of the macs. A trenchcoat has a more relaxed design whereas the ...

Re: Favourite ever piece of rainwear

I was wearing my favourite rainwear last Saturday when I was visiting a local farm shop which is all from Weathervain.

It is a trench coat, trousers and hat all in black shiny PVC. I was also wearing matching gloves.

The Current Weather

Today I went to my allotment to pick fruit and vegetables and luckily I ignored the weather forecast as I was fully dressed in black Weathervain PVC.

Within five minutes the heavens opened and I could continue picking knowing I was fully protected from the rain.

We’re any others out today ...

Re: Lacking in confidence, rainwear in indoor public spaces

My wife and I have been wearing black PVC rainwear for many years and regularly receive compliments for our outfits.

If you are one of those lacking in confidence to wear shiny rainwear in public, our experience is to only wear it when it is appropriate i.e when it is raining.

During the winter ...

Re: How do I get my partner to like rainwear

In my experience, asking my wife to wear her rainwear, it is best to ask her to wear it when it is raining or forecast to rain as she does not like to stand out.

We also limit its use to outdoor situations like visiting gardens country shows or National Trust properties when others are wearing ...
