not for me to speak for others but personally would be quite happy to buy through pvc-u-like

It would make sense, but - and I dont mean you Merv I can see Gaz getting a lot more interest than hard cash

I'd also be interested, depending on what type you were considering importing!

These are the ones I remember, always wanted one but never got round to it, must have been great with the matching trousers. I do remember seeing some on the streets including the same woman on a scooter three or four times.

Hi Chris

can you give me details of the supplier and I will see if I can negotiate a decent price.

Hello,

I did some research and wanted to revive this thread ...

The blue / yellow reversible 100% PVC raincoats that were popular in the 80s-90s can still be produced. They are currently made as children's rain wear. I work in international trade, so I did some research and found the company producing them. They've told me that they can be cut to order (even in adult sizes). The caveat, of course, is that a certain minimum order is required. I am curious what the price point of such a raincoat might be among enthusiasts, and how many people could be interested in purchasing one.

I do not intend to make a profit on such an order, but I would like to see if there is enough interest to revive such a wonderful raincoat so that we could all have one (or as many as we would like since this likely would be a one time shot). Does anyone have any interest, ideas, or contributions this thought? I would be happy to orchestrate such a plan, but it would take some doing as a group effort. I'd love to see these raincoats come back - even if it is just among us enthusiasts.

Can you get them manufactured to your choice & style of vinyl/PVC?

I really want the classic smooth shiny yellow/matt blue rainjacket/pants combo like they used to make in the late eighties to early nineties

Did someone actually have some contact details for this company? I would only want to import say 150 coats, don't fancy getting the material made, that would involve ordering 1000kgs of PVC and since I have 30,000 kgs of PVC in my warehouse I don't want anymore!

Once I've got the details I can start negotiating.

cheers

OK, I accept I'm a negative person (well I call it realistic) and applaud Gaz for taking up this challenge, I think it might be easier to herd cats
