Hi Fender,

I seemed to notice you are living in Germany. I was wondering if you ever see people wearing the lovely friessenerz raincoats of yesteryear?
I had several of them and loved wearing them wit the yellow, pvc side out.
I love it when wearing it with wellies in the rain.
Do you know if they are still for sale?

Hi wellyboy.this kind of friesen are often in north germany,hamburg for example.i live in the east,shame there is not really lot of rainwear but in the north you maybe succesfull

Thanks for that Fender. Did you have a lovely friessenerz? I love the yellow and blue pvc rainmacks!!!
And lovely yellow wellies too.

Shame i dont. i have 2 pvc u like with collar in green and clear.2 hooded macs from pvc u like in purple and clear,the long and the short cape from pul,long in purple and the short is blue semi transparent.a k-way cape semi transparent and old lilliput mac in grey and a long cheap clear from regenmantel.de

Check ebay out. I've found a lot of the classic yellow-navy "friesennerz" style coats for sale at fairly reasonable prices.

Thanks Bill. It really is a shame they aren't back in fashion. I remember Primark shops sold lots of them in the late 70s and throughout the 80s. Nearly all my girl friends wore them.
I remember my gf seeing me wearing mine for the first time and she got so excited and animated. She loved it, asked me where I got it and said she was going to get one.
And she did!
I don't remember seeing many guys wearing them. However, I always wore mine. My gf told me I was 'really cute in mine'!!.
Oh I long for those days to return!

Speak of the devil, here's one on sale right now as we speak:

Congrats Bill!!catch it

Not for me, I'm afraid I don't have much of a budget for new rainwear for about the next month, having blown most of my discretionary funds on my rainwear "white whale", a pair of yellow Hunter wellies. I just posted that link for the rest of you if you're interested.

Oops,that sounds not really good I dont need it,its not my favourite kind of rainwear
