Re: The ugliest raincoat I've ever seen

I agree it is unlikely to be attractive to many on this forum, but compared to most of the dull, technical, modern rainwear being sold at least it has some element of design.
Hopefully, the Opal fabric will return soon.

Re: Janet

The report in the Daily Mail was long before they disappeared. Their friends and other church goers mostly rallied round and supported them then. I think the story was fed to the press by someone who had fallen out with them locally.
They seem to have gone completely private about 2 years ago ...

Re: New Primark PU raincoats

Are they the rubberised style coats on their website? They seem to be in very pastel colour and very matt in finish. I long for when they have bright, glossy coats again like they had regularly in stock up until about 5 years ago. Apart from the Rita Ora limited collection, there has been nothing.

Re: Long green PVC mac

I think a link to the episode was posted a couple of years ago on here. I think it was the one where she went to buy a bike for her son with lots of coins and she had a long shiny raincoat on, as Wilma says pretty sure it was dark blue.

Re: Matalan macs

Hi Scotty,
If you look at the website, it says Online Exclusive on all of the clear macs. So doesn't look like they will be stocked in any retail shops, which is a real shame.
I don't know why they do that, as with festival season on us, i'm sure they would sell lots.

Re: Anyone else having trouble with farmerrain delivery times?

Yes, Brexit, the thing that was sold as so easy (we hold all the cards remember) and has caused untold administration and cost, pretty much as the Remain campaign said it would!! More joy coming at the end of this month with import charges that the UK government are levying! At least it's not more ...

Here's a link to the video these stills are from, including the coat getting wet in the rain.

Re: PVC Smell

Cherie, I bought a red dress from Asos or BooHoo (I forget which one) and as you said it definitely had a fishy smell to it. Never had that before with PVC,PU or plastic. After a couple of hot, steamy sessions and a couple of washes the smell has all but gone.
