Yes, the late 80s and early 90s were the heyday for such macs. By the mid-90s they started to disappear but you could still see the odd lady wearing one into the late 90s and even into the early 2000s.Shinyladylvr wrote: August 5th, 2022, 12:28 am I remember the late eighties very well. There seemed to be quite a few mid calf length macs around. My girlfriend, who became my wife, bought her first one from a John Lewis’s and it was a sexy shiny black trench in what I suspect was a PU material. Fairly thin and lightweight but very shiny indeed. It often seemed shinier at night. She wore it frequently, rain or shine and I think it lasted for about 12 years by which time the vivid shine had gone. Purchased many macs since then but generally of a shorter length. Would love to see that longer style return, offset with some stockings and high heels.

I remember well that in the early 90s you often saw those macs and that I already liked to look at them as a teenager.
