Vintage 1960s Mens Raincoat w Striped Lining Croydon Sz M L

This is a wonderful vintage 1960s mens raincoat woven in a fine checked pattern.  This 1960s mens raincoat is made of a water repellant poplin fabric, probably a treated cotton, but might be a blend, I’m not sure as there is no content label.  It is made in a simple style with small squared collar, hidden button front, except for the neck button, and with a diagonal pocket at either side.  This 1960s mens raincoat is lined in a striking multi-coloured broad striped shiny taffeta-like fabric.  It has a kick vent at the bottom back and a button-down tab belt at either cuff.

Label: Croydon.  Croydon was a trademark of Canadian manufacturer Warnaco of Prescott, Ontario.  They began in 1874 as the maker of Warner’s corsets, and evolved into a multi-channel apparel company.  Croydon was filed as a trademark in 1964.

Color: Green with black checking
