I really like the nylon on these coats.
The long mac isn't as shiny as this.

It has epaulette loops to hold police numerals. I often wear it in heavy rain and it is totally waterproof. Sorry I dont have the tech skills to take a photo. The makers label inside says "ScottyMac" made in Bishopbriggs Scotland

I'm surprised at how waterproof these are. I wore the mac and pants for the first time in a deluge doing outside work and they were great.
I also found a brown version of the same mac made by Stourmac. It had a london underground book in the pocket, so may have been uniform for them? Even though it had been buried for years, after a good wash it's come up like new. None of the stitching or nylon has rotted. They don't make them like they used to.

how do you put such great photos on here please
