And lest we not forget Rita at Blackpool in her PVC mac jumping out the way of a tram as her sycho boyfriend meets his end

Here's another of her from the 2nd January 1991 episode - shiny leopard-print PVC mac again.

Yes, and what a lovely mac Rita's was. It used to make a lovely squeaky sound. You can hear the sound very well in the episode of 19 October 1990 (it is on You Tube) when Jenny puts her arm around her at the bar in the Rover's Return (at 11 mins 25 seconds in). Here is the clip: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6UqrWeZ ... &index=106

Love that, and the matching clutch bag...to die for.

Yes, she looked so damned sexy in that lovely mac. The times I've thought about her "being on top" while wearing that mac....

The mac was made by a company called Mandy Marsh, a lovely PU mac, my g/f had a silver one

Thanks for the info pal - would love to see one come up for sale on Ebay!

never really seen any on ebay, they were very popular in the 90s, i knew a few ladies who had them, got a few pics of them in the macs

Love the recollections about Harglenis and Mandy Marsh. Another maker of excellent PVC raincoats at that time was Jan Robert. They were kind enough to send me, on request, a large print of one of their best advertising pictures which for devilment I put in a frame and displayed in my office. It prompted at least one other woman working nearby to buy a similar mac. My secretary at the time was also much taken by it and I offered to arrange to get her one at a discount from a supplier I knew. But that was scuppered when her unreconstructed South East Londoner husband suggested that she could wear it "up King's Cross for a bit of business"

I found out of all the macs at that period made of PU those two were my favourite, especially the Mandy Marsh one, with its neat collar, belt & epulates. They ones like Bet wears is my favourite style, they were made in various colours, silver, metallic, yellow, white, black, with press stud fastening , later versions of the macs had buttons
