Totes

Have any of the members had or still have a Totes nylon raincoat and if so, do you still wear it outside?
I am lucky enough to have four in different colours. I still love to hear the rustle as I walk.

Re: What wet weather outfit did you wear today?

As per the last time I went shopping (supermarket) and wore my favourite Totes beige hooded nylon mac. No sightings this time. My wife was with me so could’nt wear red or a skirt either.

Sightings

Sightings were a regular inclusion in discussions. In the 70’s and 80’s. However on Tuesday last I did see something which made me think back many years. I saw a gent dressed for the weather. He had on a wonderful beige coloured nylon Mac by Totes. I have an identical Mac also beige along with a ...

shower

Do any of you try out your raincoats in the shower? I mostly have nylon coats and capes. I tend to remove all clothing and put my macs on.
The feel of the nylon on my skin and the rustle and the shower water really gets me going. Enough said. Its nearly as good as going out in public.

What rain

At Last some fab rain in the East Midlands this morning.
The nearest mac was my Totes long nylon hooded in petrol blue. I was in boy mode but did put on a skater skirt under my coat.
The mac used to be shower proof but now I felt the rain filtering through and wetting my sholders. My head was the ...

sightings

I was going in the door of Dunelm this morning when I saw something from the good old days. I passed a guy dressed in a petrol blue full length nylon mac with the hood up. I quickly turned around and made my way out of the shop and followed the guy across the carpark at a safe distance. He briefly ...

Sightings

I went out this morning with my wife to get a few things in Dunelm and M&S. It had been raing quite heavily but it was now just light drizzle. I put on my favourite petrol blue Totes hooded mac, a 1980's classic, fully buttoned and with hood up. Being nylon it makes a lovely rustle as I walk.
We ...

Re: Thank heavens for wet weather…

At last some good rain. I started by wearing my red nylon 'Rainmac' to venture a short walk to my car. What a thrill it was with hood up. I then had to take my wife to Tesco and assuming I thought my petrol blue nylon 'Totes' mac would be more acceptable, not a word in anger. We walked around Tescos ...
