Discover the usefulness and practicality of this piece of historical fashion with our Rubberized Raincoat, meticulously designed to reflect this practical garment of the late 19th century. Inspired by original examples, this coat combines historical accuracy with functional design.
Product Features
- Authentic 19th Century Design: Modeled after various original rubberized raincoats, featuring a fold-down collar and two exterior patch pockets for an authentic historical look.
- Single-Breasted Closure: Classic single-breasted design with a 4-button closure and hand-sewn buttonholes.
- Composite Buttons: Equipped with black composite buttons that closely resemble period hard rubber buttons. For the truly dedicated, original Goodyear hard rubber buttons can be found on eBay or through The Button Baron.
- Rubberized Cloth: Constructed from rubberized cloth with sewn seams. While this method is not completely waterproof (when compared to vulcanized sealed seams), it effectively protects against light to moderate rain. Note: Some dampening may occur around the seams during heavy rain.
- Reinforced Tail Split: Features a reinforced tail split to prevent ripping at stress points, a common issue in historical examples.
