    Can anyone tell me where I can buy a traditional mackintosh coat? They were very popular in the 60s 70s, and 80s but the wax jacket replaced them.
    I have searched various equestrian shops and websites to no avail.
    To refresh your memories, they were know as traditional, riding mackintoshes as they were worn by thousands of people in the equestrain industry and by people attending race meetings and other equestrain events.
    They were wither off-white or cream, 3/4 length, made of rubber and cotton.
    They were fastened by buttons and had a belt.

    coz it has so much bloody rain! Mind you where I lived in the UK before moving here was under the most water this year! Most people don't realise that if you have 2 rivers twice the size of the liffey converging, you will get flooded! LOL

    Seriously though has the OP tried google or eBay? HTH

    There's a shop in Temple Bar that specialises in Mac's they have some really nice one's.

    I can't remember the name of the shop but it's around Cow's Lane. When you come to Cow's Lane instead of turning left into it, keep walking straight ahead (you'll be facing DCC) it's along the left hand side.

    The shop is called Francis Campelli and is on Scarlet Row,which is the Christ Church end of Temple Bar.
    Also try searching for Michael Mortell stuff on the internet or somewhere like the Kilkenny Shop,he used to make them many moons ago.
