I'm just watching the rock opera "Tommy". I'm pretty sure the plastic mac worn by Ann Margret, about 26 minutes into the film, is a genuine Pakamac. I have had a number of the exact same style, they were especially precious to me. Ann Margret's is pristine.
I think Seti has more chance of finding Aliens than women wearing plastic macs
Hi Frank I have seen them Capes one for Xmas if Santa is kind
I recently watched a TV programme about the 'Cold War' period in Europe during the 60s. What a wonderful sight it was with so many guys in both plastic macs and nylon macs plus loads and loads of ladies wearing nylon macs in a delightful array of colours. It just confirmed to me just how real my memories are of those days.

Hi wet July and not one mac to be seen really sad
Agnes, a simple search for 'plastic mac' on eBay brings up lots of the styles of jackets I now see frequently. I would never class a jacket as a mac but maybe it's a generation thing.
HI Susan some of them jackets are quite long saw a woman of my age wearing one any idea who sells them
Ken quite right people should keep it clean and no bullies this a pac a mac site.
My observations on plastic jackets are purely my hope that they are an indication that Pakamac styles of mac could make a return. Actually, Pakamac did produce rain jackets.
Hi I am on Franks side Brian was getting a bit lurid and Colin have you got a woman or is it just cartoons for you.
Well said BJ.
Frank is the antithesis of 'Think positive' and to stop pitying his hard luck because he can't find a woman who'll do what he wants.
BJ you have the wrong Brian its a pac a mac site the clue is in the name and its not a playground pick a fight site .
Frank it's Brian's site so he even more than anyone can talk about the price of sardines on here if he so chooses....it's not as though you have ever done much for the site besides whinge whenever anybody else makes a contribution.
Hi Brian this a plastic mac and nylon site not rubber macs or Jackets and your flirting with Susan is going to frighten the horses.
Sue, it WILL happen. You WILL get one of these plastic jackets, possibly more, and model them SUPERBLY. I may get one, or more, for my own wardrobes. And let's hope the SBR dream comes true too. Always good to hear from you.
Over the last two days Brian, I have seen two different plastic jackets on separate women. Definitely a fashion statement.
As regards buying an SBR rubber mac for Susan, the thought is always there, but the logistics are not, as Susan knows. However, I hope the barriers can be eventually dropped.
Incidentally, Sue, I saw another of those plastic jackets this afternoon, and I thought of you immediately. I hope we discover who retails them. There are similar jackets advertised on e-bay-could these be the ones?
