Vintage 70s Raincoat by Marielle Fleury Rainmaster Canada 12

This is a very nice quality vintage 70s raincoat designed by Marielle Fleury for Rainmaster - Fleury is considered to have been one of the most influential Canadian designers.  This 70s raincoat is made of a water resistant brown fabric that feels like a poplin canvas.  It is fully lined in copper red acetate and has raglan styled long sleeves with a belt at each cuff.  This 70s raincoat has small squared collar that can be worn up or down.  It has a five button closure, the lower four buttons hidden by an overflap.  There is a slash pocket at either side and loops under the collar that would be used for holding a scarf in place. There are buttons for an added thermal lining, but there is no lining supplied with it.

Label: Rainmaster by Marielle Fleury Made in Canada.  Rainmaster was a trademark of Sport Togs, which hired Fleury in 1969 to design a line under her own name.
