Very nice jacket

The description says "Vintage from before 2000" which makes me feel very very old

I get puzzled. Thee's lots of these transluceant raincoats about in orange mainly and they are fab and so rubbery. But do they mean vintage style? If they are selling them currently then they aren't vintage to my mind. And to be honest coats like this were more an 80s thing much though I love them they don't seem to recognise when they were sold before. Some "designer" shops had them in the mid 1990s for ridiculous prices and it does look like one of those.

As with most things sold on the internet these days its a case of buyer beware but for me if its the right item at the right price then Im not bothered about the history of it

I'd rather have something 'retro' styled from PUL than an authentic original vintage item but I accept other people favour the genuine item
