wet weather wear

Jilly Cooper springs to mind.

EK you are the funniest person I have ever known.

Ok I'm majorly sleep deprived but I will be putting my 2 penith in shortly.

I once went to a fancy dress party as a haynet!

Also once went to dinner in just a dinner jacket, that was before middle age spread set in and gravity took over though. xxx

Yes yes, tell us more I would rather like to have seen that, especially the hay net.

Was it the large or small mesh?

Oh what excitements we generate.

Gosh a haynet that is really is very original for fancy dress.

There are one or two members of our hunt that would be a delight so attired.

By the way Mrs B no it was not I who pushed you into a water trough at Cowdray. You would have found me far more subtle.

Really? You mean you were born subtle then managed to lose the ability to be so as you grew older?! Most people do it the other way round:p

Simsar - do you have any pictures? If you do, it sounds like you could sell rights to the gentlemen round here and make yourself a fortune!
 
You are all giving me great ideas for the novel! Certainly Jilly Cooper comes to mind and the new one "Kiss and Tell" which I have only just started reading. However I still do not seeem to have got to the bottom of what if anything it was about traditional riding macs that apparently turned people on. Busy this weekend but will come back in more detail later and wih some private questions for some of you who have been good enough to post things on the thread. Feel sure ther ought to be a long way to go - perhaps a questionnaire on the whole subject might make you al feel less bashful - you can always send me PM's.
Happy Easter ALEROG
 
Just for your info, Sandon Saddlery near Buntingford had some of the Macs we are discussing for sale upstairs in their lovely timewarp shop recently. That is if you dare to enter the "Royston Vasey-like" world the old dears who run it live in ..... enter and you may never be seen again .....

*fans self after sudden hot flush*

I once borrowed a putty coloured mac and rather ruined it by leaning against the bar and covering the arm in beer.:(
 
What fascinating reading! Alerog, you have enough material for a novel even with what has already been posted! What a kinky lot! ('tis a bit of a turn-on, though!)
Personally, in the East, I don't recall ever wearing a waterproof, although I did have a 'putty coloured' coat, perhaps worn only once or twice. Here in the south-west wet weather gear tends to be serious, but I confess not very erotic!
...but making love in a horse trailer or box - now THAT is a worthy subject to add to the novel.. wouldn't others agree?

Done!!!! :D:D:D:D
 
Sorry that this seems to have ground to a halt. You cannot write about something you do not know too much about and I was hoping for more help. I do KNOW that some people used to find these macs shall we say "exciting" or "a turn on" or "sexy" but I want to know why!!!!!!!!!
ALEROG.
 
Men are very strange creatures , that old mac was heavy,stunk of rubber, I dunno ,something to do with rubber and whips maybe? Men are very odd :rolleyes:
 
Because if worn on its own it could be very sexy. Not much left to the imagination and all that. Bit like the fur coat, oh no did I say fur coat!
 
Fox for instance? :D

Better that, than the smell of scorched rubber, if you see what I mean!

I wonder if Channel have ever considered a fragrance, and christened it Riding Mac. It would hardly be as successful as Coco, though perhaps the OP feels otherwise! :D

J_M, try as you may, assuming that the above post was from the Mrs Simsar, then you're flogging a dead horse, as it were!! ;) Mind you, if the truth could be teased out, it might well be of help to the OP's research. Just a thought! :cool:

Ah well - we seem to have hit an impasse here.

I think we are of the general opinion that you are quite aware of why you (and your *coughs* 'Readers') find these awful pieces of attire to be a 'turn on' or 'sexy'.

I believe we know the practicalities of such an item of clothing, (for keeping out the rain when hunting) but are at a loss as to why someone (you) should find them....er... appealing.

In conclusion - you tell us! :D
 
I remember well wearing a putty coloured riding mac when hunting with the Fernie, Fitzwilliam and Cottesmore in the 70's. My Grandad had a selection in different sizes (7 daughters!) and made us wear one in the wet; more to protect the saddle than us! I was reminiscing with my husband and he surprised me with a brand new mac early in our relationship. Now it is older (I have another for best), it smells of sweaty horse, new hay and rubber with a hint of leather attached and brings back such memories. The husband is quite enamoured. Unfortunately he still will not get on a horse..............
:D
