Hi did anyone see the latest episode of East Enders as Dot Cotton sports a plastic raincoat. Perhaps this look will become more popular..

Hi Frank,

For once I agree with you.

hi I thought this blog was for plastic macs

MINE MINE MINE MINE MINE!

View NO 100 000

Wonder if Brian ever dreamed his board would get so muchg attention....

Hi you are right mate that's what I call a plastic mac in plastic mac art have not seen one of them for real for donkey years

If anybody wants to see a real plastic as they should be then look at Plastic mac Artwork

Hi Ken I said I did not want emails off men thats why I have deleted my email and you are wrong ladies do read this blog and love macs a couple have been in touch and if anymore want to just write on this blog and I will give another email you and Frank just like to moan smile and the world smiles with you.

Hi Frank I also read that It was more trench macs still they all help and Jane I thought you only wanted to talk to other women you will not find any here.

Hi Jane I do think positive its just I tell the truth its said in one newspaper this week that the mac is back lets hope so

HI Frank do you ever think positive.

Ken you right but finding a woman to wear one a camel through the eye of a needle springs to mind.

Why all the fuss over a hood the mac is what counts

Hi Jane and myself have seen a few ladies in all sorts of nice macs of late

I wave the flag in favour of the hood - integral or attached. Not only do you avoid the risk of the rain seeping through any gap between rainhat and mac, you also get the maximum sensual experience - the noise of the rainwater beating down and the PVC aroma, in particular. It's a lovely snug feeling to walk in the downpour with the hood tied up.

Elizabeth Anne red mac or no red mac stop flirting with me you are married now do you think the man in the moon is a mac lover as well.

Hi let's get back to Frank

Well folks, my preference is a mac without a hood and worn with a folding rainbonnet/mate. I have lots of these in assorted colours and patterns.
The rainhat just sets off the classic look and carrying a folding rainmate in your pocket is easy to wear in emergencies as it is so small and compact. Mind you they are pretty fragile and tear easily when windy.
Not too keen on the rainhood type hat as they look so big. Perhaps we can start a mac and rainbonnet revival, what do you all think.

Hi lets get back to macs

I love the visor style rain bonnets too Roy. I have loads, bought 2 spotty ones hust last week.

Hi Susan and Cole , it's nice to know that we agree that wearing a rain hood with our coats instead of a fixed hood is the preferred choice when out in the rain. But I still prefer wearing the visor type rain hood than the flimsy concertina one. The reason is because the visor type is made of a stronger material , covers more of your head and extends over you coat collar giving complete protection. You may not see many guys wearing them , but as I said earlier (7th Dec)I wear one that has a visor , is clear with black trim and fits nicely over my collar and there is nothing to beat them when out in the rain.

Yes Susan and Cole that is the look I prefer also, although ldeally I have a good umbrella (ie not mis-shapen, a decent size and a nice bold color, and definitely NOT a $2 job from the Reject Shop). If a brolly is inconvenient or I don't have one, a rain bonnet is always a better alternative than a hood, especially if the coat you're wearing doesn't have one, which most of mine don't.

The only time I ever wore a hood was when the kids were in pushers in the 80s, when you needed both hands free and you couldn't buy a new plastic concertina hat that would last five minutes.

Peter and I hope everybody had a happy Christmas, and best wishes for 2015.

Merry Christmas to all, although I don't think we will be seeing much rain.....

Yes Cole, that's the look I like to wear.

Merry Xmas everyone.

How about combining Roy's preferences (7th December) with Frank's likings (20th December)? A women in a hooded (and belted) mac with the hood down and a rainhood for her hair? Especially the concertina pleated ones.

If a woman wears a mac with a hood up and has high heels and is slim it is great

Hi Merry Christmas to all pac a mac fans and keep the comments coming

I agree BJ and Roy. Hoods should be worn down. I much prefer a mac with a collar and definitely no hood.

Try hair spray

I agree with Roy about hoods - I have always found them uncomfortable to wear, and completely unflattering on most women, as they hide their hair and ruin the shape of their face and head. On another forum somebody said they were like the bag they stick over your head just before they hang you.

But I know I'm in a minority. Put a series of pics up on flickr or somewhere of a lady in a hooded raincoat, and leave the hood down for a few of them, and you're guaranteed to cop whinging about it.

I am still in waterproof love with Susan. I have a video clip of her, where she looks absolutely gorgeous, even before she puts on her plastic mac. Beautiful is too weak a word.

I hope we can reconcile our differences, somehow or other, and start meeting and macking.
