Fall is the season of unexpected rainfall, quickly changing weather, and heavy winds. One of the best ways to overcome the foul elements is a weather proof mackintosh. The mackintosh was originally sold in 1824 in Scotland, created from rubberized fabric. The coat was originally a single breasted jacket that had a tall fold over collar and hood. It was originally designed to protect longshoreman from the ever changing port weather. Today the mac has little changed, though the materials and the colors most definitely evolved. Most recently Gap teamed up with designer Tom Snyder and in the collection they created the cadet parka in orange pulp, the color is spot on and the fit is slouchy which allows room for your heavier sweaters.
