Pakamac

Hi everyone ,I have only ever worn a pakamac once and that was in the 1980s in Bridlington.It served me well when I spent a few days there on holiday. But I now wear a water proof 3/4 length jacket that keeps me warm and dry in cold wet weather. I do not like wearing coats with hoods as they feel uncomfortable and move around a lot messing up your hair. To keep my hair dry and in place I wear a plastic rain hood which comes with black trim , has a visor and extends over my coat collar preventing rain water going down my neck.There is nothing to beat it for keeping you dry , as for what people think when they see me , well I don't really care I just think to myself this is 2014 and not the 1950s.

Hi Constance is it true that you have remarried of late.

There are some very brave men about

Hi Elizabeth Anne and congratulations why does it become a problem most women I have known all say is it me or my mac you want why do you think like that if it was the other way around I would be only to happy to wear anything I bet Frank is heart broken good luck to you both Its good to have you back.

Hi if there are any ladies who read this what do you think of men who wear Pac a macs or nylon do you think they are smart good or wimps or just silly old farts

Hi everybody, in case anybody's missed me I've been quite busy for the last little while, getting married. Pete and I made it 'official' three weeks ago at a reception centre on the Great Ocean Road. Three weeks...who said it wouldn't last?

We all have 'preferences'. Pete does seem more attentive when I am wearing my nylon mac, or after I've been with him with it on for a while, but that is not the only way I can 'turn him on', he doesn't demand it on call, and there is nothing that can't happen without it. If I ever convince myself that the mac matters more than I do, or it is becoming a 'power play', then Houston we have a big problem, but until that day I am happy to accommodate his preference as long as that's all they are.

Supposed to be the wet season in SE Australia but apart from it raining all night last Saturday it's been bone dry.

Hi Anna k or any other ladies out there Margaret lets hear from you or any other ladies.

Hi Anna k can we have some more comments about your pac a macs please

Hi Frank do you not meet women dog walkers when you take yours for a walk try a smile and a chat not all women are after money they may even have a pac a mac

Hi Agnes with respect I have tried that and only caught grasping females who were strangers to the truth I think I will stay with my old dog and forget pac a mac females.

Frank Barnard soft soft slow catch a monkey

Hi Agnes you were married but when a women finds out a single man is into macs its another story

Hi I never thought of my late husbands love of plastic macs as perveted funny at first but harmless it just the same as black stockings or high heels or anything that turns men on.

Gosh Ken, that was a few years ago. Sadly, I haven't heard from either of them for ages. I thought they were mac fans. At the time there were still a few shops in various towns there which still sold nylon macs, presumably for the holidaymakers. We would go and buy them. My local shops have either gone or stopped selling them. It's still easy though to buy plastic rain bonnets.

Susan were the women I saw you with in Wick mac fans do you still meet

Hi Jeff its a long time till then.

Hello Sam, I will be in Blackpool again next September. Keep an eye on this forum.

Hello Susan, you are right, Blackpool is no longer a mecca for plastic macs as I remember in the 1950's, when every shop seemed to have a stock of plastic macs with many souvenir shops hanging macs of all colours outside, fluttering in the wind. Happy memories !

Hi Jeff I was just down the road.

Sounds like a lovely day out in a plastic mac Jeff. I'm guessing that Blackpool is not the mecca it once was for plastic macs.

Very true Sam, but they are women who don't like them and very few do. That would go for men too. We are all of us, men, women or whatever, in a minority for our love of the Pakamac and it's a fact that even fewer women like them. That's not disputed. I don't care, I'm just enjoying being a part of the community that does like macs.

Hello Sam, I'm sorry but I did not see your post until I returned from Blackpool, I arrived Wednesday afternoon (22nd Oct) and left Friday afternoon. I stayed in a B&B near the North Pier. Wednesday afternoon I walked from North Pier to Bispham in the rain wearing my Jeantex see-through plastic mac and then went to Fleetwood on the tram. On Thursday morning I walked between the North Pier and Central Pier and back again in the rain and then went on the bus from Blackpool to Poulten-le-Fylde on the bus and the then walked around Poulten wearing my mac. I really enjoyed myself ! Would you have been anywhere near ?

Hi Sam all the women that I have known were just like that.

Hi Susan I am one of the doubters as soon as a woman knows you are intrested in her because she wears plastic macs or you want her to wear plastic macs you go down in there eyes they look at and think pervert sad but true.

Ken, my interest in macs, particularly Pakamacs began at a very young age. They were still very popular then. It also coincided with my awareness of my gender confusion. Feel free to contact me by email. That goes for anyone because I always endeavour to reply openly and honestly.

Hi Susan did your intrest in macs start as a boy or a woman how do they differ.

I'd be surprised if there were many women who read the contributions to this site although I'm sure there are many around the world who share the special interest that I have for the garment.
Despite the doubters, there are loads of women who are quite happy to be photographed wearing 'pakamacs' and have them publicly available, as I do myself.
Obviously, for anyone who has taken the time to look at mine, they'll realise I'm not the gender my name suggests. It's the gender I feel I am though.
