Rainwear Central Rainwear Forum

I still acquire quite a fair bit of rainwear from time to time and the other day I got a small cagoule (really a child size one or very small adult) and I noticed the label said Lord Anthony International. Now that took me back ot a different era as I am sure Lord Anthony made a variety of coats in the 1970s, manily I remember Snorkel Parkas but somewhere at the conrer of my mind I suspect they made orange overhead nylon cagoules (this one was navy blue and overhead). Anybody else encountered this brand?

I had several, royal blue, navy blue, red and orange

I think they were C&A owm brand

My mum had one in royal blue. Loved wearing it when she wasn't home!

I girl I worked with in the late 70's had a royal blue one she wore in the winter months, it had a strap that went between the legs to secure it

That's right rainwear-experience. All secured with buttons if I remember rightly, as were the pockets.

I had a later one as a kiddy, Orange with black and white stripes on the arms, kangaroo pocket front and a crotch strap to stop it blowing up in the wind, so wish i still had it even though i wouldnt fit it anymore.

I dont think they were exclusive to C&A as a company in Edinburgh used to advertise them in the Sunday Post, I sent them a chesque of one but they returned it saying they didn't do mail order

Thanks all for the contributions thus far. I'll post a pic of the cagoule when I get it outta the camera. I have a hunch it was a local Scottish chain that had them although not for me C & A. I never remember shopping there and I do remember there was a shop called Robertsons Rainwear that did their own cagoules in a slightly different style from everybody else. I am just amazed that one should pop up from a dealer after all this time.

I wonder if thats the place I was thinking of, I see they are still in business as ROBERTSON OUTERWEAR LIMITED based in Glasgow but were called ROBERTSONS RAINWEAR SHOPS LIMITED between 22 May 1936 - 07 Aug 1991

This article on Wiki would seem to prove that LA were not a C&A own brand
Well known for their snorkel parka
