Hello just wondering if this site is on Facebook or any pac a mac fans thank you Christopher

Hello all i am still around and enjoying my mackintoshes. e mail address on the page do not open for me including my own ?

Hi Rob it's been some time since I have heard from you hope that you are well and still enjoying macs love to talk to you got different email now hope I hear from you G

Its been some time since l left a comment here but l do read them regularly. It brought back memories when Brian mentioned the Rainspel raincoats. I bought my wife girlfriend then a blue one, it had a fantastic glossy effect and she wore it until that went dull and eventually started to peel. You sound very interesting Brian perhaps we could chat by email. Alan,

Hi all old mac friends merry Christmas and a Happy new year to you all

SORRY MUST HAVE MISTED YOUR MAIL G. IF YOU OR ANYONE WANTS TO MAIL PLEASE PUT PAKAMAC ON SUBJECT LINE. THEN I WILL READ IT. BEVERLEY

Hi Beverly I emailed you no. reply deleted that address to. much spam enjoy the macs

my e amail is open if anyone wants to mail me.plastic macs are my favourite but have rustley nylon on at present will look up atay dry bev

Thanks "G", you are a vital and alert contributor yourself!
Yes, I do keep them all, apart from some which have inevitably deteriorated. Polyurethane macs, in particular, were very unstable. The liquid gloss would soon become dull and would peel off in a very short time. "Pakamac" did produce some lovely metallic polyurethane macs, in steel blue, buff, dusky pink, and turquoise, but I dare say they suffered the same fate as the rest. "Rainspell" they were called, and I would be interested to know if anyone else remembers them.

Hi Brian you must have a new mac on every day fantastic do you keep them all or rewer them pity women didn't follow your example they are beautiful macs the Stay Dry you are like a breath of fresh air to this site thank you

Dear "G"-Thanks for your support and comments-and enthusiasm!! I am not in the Guinness Book of Records yet-as far as I know(!)-but I do seem to have an ambition to collect as many macs as possible in several particular styles(if that makes sense!) Those Stay Dray navy nylon macs are a case in point. And, were the original grey-black see-through plastic Pakamacs available today, they would be included too.
I just keep adding to my drawers and wardrobes-I just cannot stop! It is an incurable disease, especially when I am considering purchasing more bulky female items too!!!

Hi Brian it's good to hear from you your comments on macs are always welcome you have quite a collection of plastic macs are you in the Guinness book. of records welcome back.Brian hope you become a regular how

.

I haven' contributed to this site for ages, having been deterred by some of the annoying back-biting posted by some trouble-makers. I think they know who they are, and such posts are out of place on an otherwise very good and informative site.
I am hoping to resume my contact again, but I will begin by praising, yet again, "Stay Dry", and the way they keep up the Pakamac tradition so beautifully and effectively. Their nylon macs are wonderful-comfortable, relaxing, noisy and sexy. I have managed to persuade at least one enthusiast, on the Flickr site, to try them, and I will be interested in his reaction. I, myself, have over 40 of the navy macs, I love them so much-a fetish within a fetish, if you like!!
Best wishes to all the regulars, particularly "G", Gareth from Wales, I'll be bound!!

l agree with Susan that this is a wonderful site for people like us who adore plastic macs. l think l may have had dealings with you Susan before but l may be getting confused not sure. l could write here every day about my life and how it has been influenced by plastic macs but not sure that anyone would really be interested. l would like to chat by email to anyone who is really interested in plastic macs and how they have affected there lives.

I have spotted a very few plastic mackintoshes during the wet summer, can not understand why they went out of fashion so practical not to mention lovely to see and hear love the shrrart noise that a plastic mackintosh makes. Beverley

Hi Susan good to have you back hope your health is much better

I have 3 plastic macs that genuinely date from the 1950s. I haven't owned them all that time, which is just as well because they would have deteriorated no doubt by now, with all the wear I would have given them. The quality of them is far superior to any other plastic macs that I remember. I didn't start wearing plastic macs until the 1960s.

The rest of my plastic macs are less than 20 years old. Unfortunately the 50s style plastic macs amongst them don't match the quality of the 3 I referred to at the start.

Despite the occasional negative comment, this is still a fab community page, especially knowing that the majority of contributors love plastic macs like I do.

I'm with what seems to be the majority view also....this discussion has done amazingly well to last six years and stay interesting for more than 1000 posts, not many single-issue discussion boards manage anywhere near that, but as I see it now it is all over. Thanks for your stories everyone.

I'm sorry but I agree with Alan.

Hi Rob it's good to have you back any new macs not easy to get these days

They are not quite as old but we still have the Leroco plastic macs we bought to go camping in the nineteen eighties.

Hi Barrie wonder if that's a record length of time anyone has kept a pac a mac fantastic has anyone else kept a mac that long

I wondered if Pakamac were still in Buisiness as I have a Pakamac my farther bought me when I was 17, I'm now 76 and the mac is as good as new, admittedly its spent most of its life in the door pocket of my cars with little use but is still usable today!!!!

Hi all I started visiting this site in 2011 adding many plastic pakamac stories, but soon realised there are a small majority of comments from people who appear to have no interest in plastic rainwear and only continue to put everyone else down all the time.
I stopped visiting this site for that very reason. This site was provided for people like myself who are devoted to plastic rainwear so l suggest if these people can not make any constructive comments relating to the subject this site was intended for then find something that they are interested and stop spoiling it for us. l am sure there are lots of people who have contributed to this site who will agree with me. in the mean time l will make enquires regarding the site anministrator.

Hi where has everybody gone come on Mac fans let's hear from you RB are you still out there

G I could not agree more I wanted to hear other people talking about macs don't think comments that have nothing to do with the subject macs should not be put on in my humble opinion Janice

Hi RB don't listen to Frank let's hear your story's myself and I sure many more want to hear them

Hi G can't believe they didn't write because of my comments if someone has something to say about macs they will wake up and smell the coffee G

Frank are you happy now we have lost RB stories don't hear yours
