Yellow Rain Slicker
While reading the linked article in the New England thread, it talked about the popularity of yellow rain slickers by Princeton upperclassmen. I have always had a soft spot for the child-like look, but lost an old PRL version from years ago.
Does anyone know of a suitable replacement nowadays?

I don't know brands, but marine supply stores ought to have them.

The 'Take Ivy' book shows Orange ones as I recall. Princeton too?

Kind of cheap looking, though. Aren't they?

Great if you want that old fashioned, clammy as hell rainwear feel.

^ Quite a lifetime apart, those two products. One is hopelessly retro, the other perhaps too engineered.
