Something a bit different, Wont see many of theres around & sure I will get some piss take for wearing it.
The jacket itself is made up of 84% PVC & 16% Polyester ( Glentex), One of the main reasons I have got this is of course I love the look ( looks ace under a shirt & Jumper)
Will let the spiel of Oi-Polloi's website do the talking on the brand.
In 1964, Guy Cotten and his wife came up with their famous waterfproof cloth. Coated cotton oil skin fabrics were available at the time but weren't very comfortble and were famous for damaging easily. The Guy Cotten fabric was tougher, more comfortable and remained lightweight, a revelation for dockworkers across the globe.
The late 60s saw the emergence of sailing clubs, but nobody at the at time had come up with the ideal outerwear for the sport. The founder and director of the Rosbras Nautical Center, Yvon Hemery, wondered aloud, "How is it that noone's come up with a jacket that's as waterproof as the pea-jacket and at the same time as practical as conventional jackets?" Guy Cotten took up the challenge... within a few days, students at the center were testing the first oilskin jackets to have a double strap, which closed by sliding a plastic zipper on one side and using velcro on the other, the Rosbras jacket was born.
