Hi Ali, I have a nice women’s retro style semi-transparent off white raincoat with matching belt and rain scarf. I purchased it second hand ages ago for my girlfriend at the time. You’re welcome to have it for your photoshoot. Janet & Nick I live near Glasgow, if you fancy a meet for a chat and a coffee when you’re up next week that would be good.

Hey Bossali,

You could try fashionworld-trade.com.

They sell direct and through ebay.

Coats look kind of retro in limited colours, with buttons and tie belt.

Can't make it any easier.

Gives you a limited selection of coat styles and lengths in black, red, pink and purple.

They also do a custom service so you can probably get more of their colour range to order. Not the pastels of Mandy Marsh, but you do seem to favour RED as the dominant colour in your photos.

Looking forward to your seeing the results of the photo shoot.

Just had a look - fabulous images.

We never owned one, I remember them in the window in Argyle Street, cajoled my better half into trying one on and to be honest, she looked ridiculous. She went into a fit of giggles when she looked in the mirror. It was a one size fits all and as she was slim and reasonably tall so it absolutely drowned her. It was massive and I have to admit, very unflattering. Thick, smooth and had a fantastic PVC aroma, The whole display area smelled of PVC

In retrospect, we should have bought one as a keepsake of a great raincoat era.

Thanks Bullit, I know what you mean it was one size seemed to fit all, a few women seemed to suit them but very few could carry it off, the model in my photos managed it as she was well endowed. Will PM you
