Really looks good
Can you still buy Proper Oilskins or has nylon / PU replaced it?
Imagine fishing port chandlers would be a good place to look

You not tried that well known auction site?

I have looked at that certain site but when I check details they end up mentioning PVC, I was / am under the impression that original oilskins are oiled sailcloth
I'm guessing that modern materials including PVC/PU / nylon/ vortex etc have taken over from original fabrics

Had been raining so was "horned up" to get into gear and do some pics - sorry this is a close one but you can see I fade into background!

I think those photos are great, only wish it was me in that gear. Cyclecape.
