The Tall Guy mac is wonderful particularly its completely practical length.

The Capital City mac is so 1980/1990's very thin soft material in the days of big hair and padded shoulders. I remember seeing so many lovely women wearing them usually black to City offices.

Beauty in Plastic 1945

Following the short trend on here recently, please see this brief favourite, I suspect that it is not new to the forum, but deserves a rerun.

Re: The Lawrence Welk show( episode fron 1958) Alice lon dons a beautiful semi transparent mac

Wow, another couple of gems. And that first one, with diamentees set in the hem, I owned one nearly 30 years ago. Not sure where I got it, probably on ebay but it was wonderful, huge skirt (probably needed for the very full skirts worn in US back in the 50's). Sadly, I sold it in a 'purge'' but I ...

Lovely find and I am glad to see another of those long capes of the era. The 'car' he is driving is interesting, sounds more like a lawnmower.

however I think that the scene when she is3 standing talking to him is in the studio as it doesn't appear that any rain is hitting that glorious hood!

Rothbhoy, you are truly a gem. Lightening fast and spot on again.

There was a succession of Goddiggers movies but this I think the ok nly one featuring plastic rainwear. I've often wondered when plastic macs were first available and this must be ones of the earliest films featuring them.

As to the ...

The next 'scene, two girls come out of a lift (elevator both wearing long translucent macs, and one goes into an office where she hangs the mac up before saitting down behind a desk ...

Re: Take the high road( episode from 1983) Muriel Romanes playing part of Alice wears a green transparent pvc mac

1983, ah probably the peak year for those lovely long plastic macs, they were everywhere and still a fashion item. Every clothes shop stocked them in a variety of colours. C&A had one of the best selections but I got a lovely green one at Peacocks, quite heavy plastic but super smooth and soft.
