Good quality vintage photos of women from here and there wearing plastic mackintoshes - mostly from the 1950s.

Thanks for finding and posting these images. Aside from the rainwear it is very striking compared with now how much thinner the women seem.

Cheers Rainworshipper - you are most welcome - glad you enjoyed them. PS - If members are interested in these vintage images I will post more at a later date....

I'd love to see them, the posted ones show timeout error - I hope it will work later. Love the old vintage pics esp with SBR macs and capes.

I would love to see them but time out every try.

Looks like the site is experiencing problems at the current time as nothing will upload there - could just be a temporary glitch. Try again in a day or so.

Hi all!
Just re-uploaded them all to another hosting site - all should be working OK now!

Now it worked - thanks a lot! LOL, those dumb newspaper-as-rain-protection people in the Waterloo station pic

One of the best old times pics with lots of properly dressed people are these two at the vintage-rainwear.de website:
