Great find and Great Vinyl raincoat !
In a scene you can even hear the coat squeeking and rustling.
That were the brilliant times for shiny unlined squeeking rustling raincoats,
Where the plastic was so soft and crackly due to the plenty use of plasticizers.

Re: Material Discussions

I like to wear cotton backed raincoats like Rukka, when it’s a little bit colder, below 10 degrees celsius. They are smooth and keep you a little bit warm, compared to pure vinyl raincoats.
Between 10 and 20 degrees celsius I like to wear thin vinyl raincoats, mostly clear or transparent, very noisy ...

Re: All Set for the Wet Season!

Question to PVC Vinyl Enthusiast :
The opaque black and the red raincoats are very shiny and quite noisy and crackly, too.
Are they from Plastico or PUL ?
Or any different brand ?

Re: Serious question... why do I love the look and feel of shiny vinyl?

As far as I remember I had to wear a shiny red vinyl unlined raincoat with a strong pvc aroma in the late 60s, when I was 4 years old. From that moment I was fascinated by shiny vinyl raincoats.

Walk at the coast

It was drizzling today, I put on my shiny blue rubber boots and my shiny blue / yellow rain jacket from PUL (Type SU40 in BLS4) and had a walk at the beach with my two (tall) dogs (Irish Wolfhound).
So many ladies complimented to my outfit, and said that I am properly dressed for a walk with my dogs ...
