for me it's the difference between being water resistant and waterproof.

I think i was about 10 when my mum produced a pac a mac for me to wear to go into town with her. She put me in it and fastened to the neck, i was protesting saying it wasnt raining, but she insisted saying it will later. This was the 1960s, she wore a blue pvc mac from c and a and some shiny boots.
When in town it did rain and she put a spotted rain mate on me . Now i am 73 but still love to wear pac a macs.

I most certainly have. I was made to wear a full length nylon pakamac up to and beyond 18, wearing this to school and outside school, and always buttoned to the neck and "worn properly". The trips to the outfitters were filled with dread, being made to try on a number of different colours, sizes and lengths, and often standing in front of the Saturday Girl being buttoned up by her.

I'd initially refuse and then provide resistance, but I was no much for my mother and the Saturday Girl combined, and would be buttoned up like a child.

That is embarrassing to have a shop assistant help button up your mac and try on different ones on especially if you love the mac's could of taken you in the back room and put theme all on together that would of been nice .

It was most embarrassing, yes. Treated as a child with no right of an opinion on what I should wear
