I've been on the hunt for one lately and have come up with nothing. It seems that here they sell only winter coats. Often I find that the trench coats sold here are not meant for the rain at all. <br /><br />I fell deeply in love with the vinyl trench coat that the lead character in Atomic Blond wears...a white one. Like you though I can't wear white without it washing me out completely. I've found a place on Etsy that makes them. I'm seriously thinking about plunking down $250 for a custom made blue one. I'm always nervous about buying stuff online. Quite ironic since of course I sell vintage online. Ha! <br /><br />I've never heard of a rain bonnet but I love yours! So very vintage and much better than wearing a plastic bag on your head which is what I sometimes see people doing here. <br /><br />I can see why you had to have one in each colour. The packaging was adorable. <br /><br />bisous<br />SuzanneSuzannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03891315017218863243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-833738977646898455.post-2416427549706971172017-08-30T19:50:23.468+02:002017-08-30T19:50:23.468+02:00That green coat is going to be known as the Welsh ...That green coat is going to be known as the Welsh wonder from now on!
