After reading this, I had a closer look at the label:
Membrane:52% Cotton 48% Polyester
Coating: 100% PVC Rubberized Coating
Made in Poland DESIGNED IN SWEDEN
Hope this is helpful for the "experts".

Hi Spitfire,
i think that is highly probable. The designs you can get from AJ directly are less nice though and the ordering process is a bit bothersome.
I fully agree. Have both rainwear from Stutterheim and AJ Group. Think it is the same sewing company when you compare Opalo materials. But Stutterheim is much more fashion in its design
Have about 12 of them in different shapes and materials and still love any of them lol

That is the same label type that is in Farmerrain coats, Jackets, trousers etc.

Hi, thanks for the info, so the sleeve circumfernce is 28 cm at the end? That's still tight.
Yes, it isn't very wide so rather not suitable for people having Popeye-lookalike arms
more for slim and tall guys (and ladies).
At the middle of the sleeve it is 20 cm single side (Nolby XXL) - if that helps.
timeless fashion is the best fashion - classic "rubberized" raincoats are timeless

The label contains more than this.
There are also care-instructions on it, but I know that a
perfect housewife like you don't need it.

40 cm around the arm is very small, ... unless you wear it naked.
Why not naked ?
I can proof that, without having Popeye arms, the sleeves are very small.

Thank you to everyone for the input and comments here.
The comments, photos and label posted by rubgum and tiefdruckgebiet confirm my original suspicions that the "rubber" is actually a petroleum derivative like PVC.
Some of the items are attractive to look at and they would turn my head if worn by an appropriate person.
But I can't see me buying one since I would not derive what I seek.
Thank you and Vielen Dank everyone.
