My third and final sbr mac from weathervain definitely is the best. Between the shininess, the sound of it slapping into itself as I walk, and the smell it really is a experience to wear. I wish more people wore SBR so we could keep it in production.

Looks great wish I had one but for me just a little longer, will you be wearing it out in the rain or is it just for pleasure and dry days

Looks really good on you especially wearing rubber riding boots with it

Yeah I do wear it out in the rain during late night walks or on a walking trail. I do baby it though so it lasts. I like the below the knee length. I know a lot of people prefer the hussar length ones but I'm a huge fan of them, plus they drag on the ground at times and collect all manner of detritus.

Thank you! I do usually wear them with rubber riding boots but this time I'm rocking my hunter hip waders with them

Wow wearing rubber waders is even better

I agree but I love rubber riding boots to, so many choices

Wait they did!?! That is amazing to hear! How did you find out?

Sorry I was half asleep and I missed read your post as you saying they had found a supplier.

As I last contacted Stephen he said he could not find someone who could make the SBR fabric still

WOW! That looks great, I remember buying an SBR cape from Weathervain in the 90s and it lasted for 20yrs plus, then seemed to deteriorate in a very short space of time, dried out and delaminated
I unfortunately never got around to buying a SBR Mac from them, but I did purchase a few single textured Mac’s thou.
