Rainwear Central Rainwear Forum

Recently purchased a Farrmerrain retro raincoat limited edition in dark green. This is the Volvo of raincoats - practical, durable, and eminently classic in style. First impressions were that it is solid, and well made from thick cotton lined PVC. The bright metal popper buttons are of good quality ...

Oh yes!

Being fastened into a plastic mackintosh and enjoying how it made me feel inside. I have recounted this elsewhere on here. Wonderful!

I well remember being told, "put your hood up", and how much I enjoyed the feeling - especially when I got a fur hooded snorkel parka. Sorry for the slight digression.

I have the Rosbras jacket and matching bib and brace for on the boat in bad weather, far superior than most other equivalent waterproofs. Not a problem to wear casually if desired and certainly hardwearing. I bought mine about 8 years ago and it is still in excellent condition.

At risk of being disciplined for going a bit "off topic", I also enjoyed what was probably a yearly visit to Woolworths to be kitted out with a plastic mackintosh. Other members may recall such shopping trips, and the thrill of trying on a new plastic mackintosh.

Some of the comments here bring back fantastic memories. C&A was another haven for mackintoshes, I well recall going there and admiring the extensive range they used to have in the Autumn. Unfortunately, C&A has long gone from our towns and cities.

Sounds interesting.

nothing I like more than wearing a pvc mac or 2.

Wonderful pictures and outfits. Thanks for sharing.

If it has a hood it must be up and tightly fastened, in the current situation a mask should be worn as well. For me, anything other than a fully buttoned mackintosh is unacceptable.
