Pakamac

Hi Susan just been looking at your web site what a wonderful collection of macs you have the transparent mac and the original plastic Mac are wonderful they look so clean and new well done thank. you for sharing them

Just in the north east of Scotland G, but that was around 9 years ago, in shops that have now sadly closed. I preferred to look in places that would cater for passing visitors rather than locals. People passing through who might just need the protection of a 'cheaper' mac when the weather caught them out.

Hi Susan yes I wear a mac myself when driving just wondering if you have come across a stock of pac a macs when driving about?

Well I personally wear a mac while I'm driving, whether it's a plastic mac or a nylon mac. It's always a trat to be driving somewhere new in the vain hope that I'll find some undiscovered backwater that still has a stock of Pakamacs!

Hi Susan good to hear from you I do remember macs on the parcel shelf of cars I asked one lady in a downpour didn't she have a mac she said I got the car can't drive wearing a mac what ever the reason its a shame

I'm not so sure what part cars have played in the demise of the Pakamac. At one time, when I was younger, the sight of a plastic mac or nylon mac rolled up on the parcel shelf, was
a common one.

yes I'm sure that's right and many shops are also covered now so perhaps there is not quite the same demand for them. A lot of people have asked us where we got ours so I still think it is partly because you can't buy them in the shops. That's the thing I don't really understand. My wife says if you fold them carefully you can get them smaller to take on days out.

Hi I sometimes think cars have played a part why don't seem to wear macs now they just dash out of cars into the shop most women seemed to have a mac once and if not raining they would carry it over the arm can't remember the last time I saw that

Hi Rob I remember buying a nylon mac from Army and Navy stores the young lady assistant folded it up so expertly I could never fold them like that I think some ladies use to roll plastic macs up. sadly there is nothing like that these days.

Sorry I meant I can't really understand why they stopped making them. We've had lots of people ask us where we bought ours.

Yes I know what you mean. I think there is a special way because my wife can fold them up really small. Because they fold up easily is why I think people really like them. You can take them anywhere and put them on when it rains. Which is usually does! As I said I can really understand why they stopped making them.

Hi Rob you said you fold your macs up I remembered how ladies use to fold so tidy their plastic macs up then when it started to rain they would unfold them and put them on happy days never see that now most a pity

I agree G they might not be fashionable but they are really practical and its nice not to have to worry that it might rain if you are out for the day which is what usually happens to us!

Hi Rob I am no follower of fashion but a lot of women are and whatever is new in the shops usually sells I am getting on myself but still love pac a macs

I'm not sure about other countries G. The furthest east we've been is Norfolk and the weather was really nice there! I haven't really thought about plastic macs being in fashion. I don't think ours are! But then you don't worry so much when its pouring down and you just want to stay dry but maybe thats just us and our age!

Hi Rob good to hear your comments again plastic macs seem to be more popular in Asian countries and some South America countries sadly here everything has to be the latest fashion think you would need a celebrity to start wearing one welcome back Rob

I don't know if it helps but I think ladies wear macs just to stay dry and plastic macs because they fold up easily and you can take them with you when the weather is changeable, at least that's my wife anyway! I think the reason you don't see people wearing them so much now is because it's really hard to find them in the shops and not because people don't want to buy them. I'm really surprised no-one has started making packamacs again because I'm sure they would still be popular.

Hi Jean thank you for your honest comments it's refreshing to hear honest answers I searched for a lady who really likes plastic macs but in vain don't really THINK one exits sadly but you right life is to short

Frank, I am male and wear plastic macs and nylon macs for myself. I don't hide my interest in the hope that I please a woman, nor do I search in vain for a woman who shares my interest. Logic dictates that some women must share our interest in wearing plastic macs or even nylon macs but life is too short for fruitless searches and should be enjoyed if possible.

I am easily recognisable where I live through my 'trademark' navy blue nylon mac, which I wear most days, rain or shine. I am proud to wear these foldaway raincoats. My plastic macs come out on occasion but tend to be kept for the more inclemment weather, to limit perspiration.

Hello Jean I read your interesting comments with great interest but am confused to knowing if you are male or female?

Why care what women think about your wearing a nylon Rainmac John? Be proud of what you like to wear. I wear nylon Rainmacs, nylon Rainstar macs and plastic macs when I'm out and I don't care what women think. I'm 62 so there's still life left in me but I love my mac wearing far more than any need to please a woman. If only I could buy a plastic Pakamac to complete my collection.

Hi John I would also like to know if women find men wearing nylon mac over a suit attractive sadly there are no women reading this to tell us

Hello Christopher,
Thanks for at least trying to get in touch, I checked the mail.com address and it is working from other identities, all seems well. Perhaps you could look at your returned mail to see if there is nay help there. Failing that I could send you a message if you have an e-mail address that you don't mind others seeing.
As you can see, there's already someone using the mail address I posted,even though the message was not meant for them, oh the joys of the internet.
Look forwards to hearing from you.
Stephen.

had e mail today title pacamas from name christopher tried to reply but would not go. I am still wearing my mackintoshes regularly and always on look out for ladies in mackintoshes sadly rarely seen . Beverley

Hello Stephen your email doesn't seem valid tried a few times to email you about macs but it failed to deliver Christopher

I'm age 55 and have for as long as i can remember always had a nylon mac. At school in the 70s nylon macs had become more commonplace than the early pvc. My mothers thoughts was that Pakamac brand was a good make so that was it my destiny was set. I now wear nylon mac made by rainmac and I would ask of any female readers of a similar age.....would you look twice at a man of my age wearing a nylon mac over a suit ?

Hello Christopher. nice to hear from someone who actually likes so very proper plastic Pakamacs, instead of rainbonnets and things, such a breath of fresh air.
My own interst is for most types of plastic rainwear, but particullarly translucent ones, as long as they're untectured.

I've had that interest ever since my schooldays when proper genuine Pakamacs were often offered by school outfitter with a suitibly sized Pakamac in the blazer pocket, what days?

Oh, I have a temporarry email bucket at... pakamac@mail.com
Where I would be very happy to share such memories with you.
All the very best, Stephen.

Hello Stephen I am only interested in plastic macs rain bonnet s do nothing for me whatsoever I have quite a few macs love them look forward to your comments
