I'm an old man but as a teen boy was made to wear rain bonnets as my mum thought them neater than souwesters. From age 15 to 18 she tied a rainbonnet on me whenever I went out in my pacamac, which hadn't a hood of its own. In old age I have the opportunity to wear them again with my rainwear. Should I go for it?

I recently bought a gents Elements rainwear mack. choosing the largest size to get the ankle length that I like. It has a detachable hood that is secured by press studs but when removed, doubles as a rain bonnet which can be worn separately if wanted in combination with other raincoats. Worn either way its equally fun to wear. I find them neater than the souwesters I wore before them though I like wearing those too.
