Bought this beauty on eBay. Went through several (Burberry, London fog, etc) that were either too big, too short in the sleeves, or the wrong material (I don’t like the heavy cotton raincoats) I think I finally nailed it. Brooks Brothers, 40L, poly/cotton,slightly past the knee (think Columbo)
Wife thinks it’s God awful and that I look like “someone from an Alfred Hitchcock movie” which made me smile because I love old movies! Lol
Anyway, are these style raincoats really “old fashioned? I don’t think so, but I wanted to see what the cognoscenti here think. Thanks!

One person’s “old fashioned” is another one’s “classic.”

Your raincoat is a classic.

Now if you really want your wife to freak out, come home wearing that raincoat and a fedora. Then tell her you’ll give up the fedora if she’ll accept the raincoat. Follow the negotiating tactic that television writers used during the decades of strict censorship: “We’ll put in five cuss words. The network will make us remove three of them, leaving us with two, which is all we wanted in the first place.”

😂😂😂😂😂 Awesome!!

Went to a farmer's market this weekend in Brooklyn with my fiancée when she graviated to a booth that sold thifted clothing. She spotted a London Fog balmacaan in stone that is exactly my suit coat size. Late 60's - early 70's (according to the seller) with a zip in liner and made in the USA. Picked it up. I'm loving it! I wouldn't have gotten it if you didn't post this on Ask Andy. I guess I had balmacaans on the brain. I've been dropping some weight and my old Misty Harbor trench coat is getting too big. Thanks.

Awesome, glad to have ‘helped’ as it were. By all means, please share a pic of your new coat. Would love to see it.
