Re: I'm looking for a rain jacket/coat

Batten sportswear do a cracking 60/40, and they turn up on Sierra Trading Post quite cheap in the summer sale.

Re: I'm looking for a rain jacket/coat

Looks ok, although without a lining I think it will only work in the UK for about one month of the year.

I'm very tempted to get an old Woolrich with lining.  Do I go vintage, and chance the condition, or spend a sizable sum on O'Connells NOS?  Decisions, decisions . . .

Re: I'm looking for a rain jacket/coat

^ if there's decent NOS about it's worth the extra expense. IMO

My old Mount Rainer was purchased new over 20 years ago and still looks great ( just needs the hot hair-dryer treatment every couple of years to 'reactivate' the waterproofing ).
I've had a couple vintage ones, an unlined Penfield/Hudson Cloth (USA made late 70's) and an newer lined Bean (80's not USA made), which looked ok but not quite as waterproof as they should have been and they didn't take to re-proofing too well.

More substantial, but I can't decide if it is thick enough to be a winter jacket - I'm looking for something for the warmer months.

Re: I'm looking for a rain jacket/coat

^ Rainier gear used to be much, much cheaper, before the Japanese bought them out.

I paid about £150, and they used to have a 30yr warranty and (a very reasonable) panel repair service for rips and tears.
The new stuff is proper nosebleed pricing.

According to HTJ, they're the original, so good point Cap'n.

I agree, the Woolrich do look better.

Re: I'm looking for a rain jacket/coat

I've got three 60/40 parkas, two Woolrich and one LL Bean. All US made and they all cost under £35. I'd say the Woolrich is more waterproof, but the Bean is more breathable. Apart from that they're very similar, although I've yet to work out what the pocket on the back of the Woolrich is for.

Re: I'm looking for a rain jacket/coat

I will say most vintage Woolrich pieces I've owned are top notch quality.  Really stand the test of time.  Though I've never owned a parka / jacket of theirs.

Re: I'm looking for a rain jacket/coat

Just to let everyone know in case of ordering rain coats from them as discussed in this thread, Lands End has 25% off until end of today.  Just type EASTER in the discount code when ordering.

Also from Henry's blog these coats look good http://www.guycotten.co.uk/ and at a decent price.

In terms of Carhartt I like the minimalism of this jacket which doesn't seem available in UK:
