A wet-weather jacket, usually nylon and either luridly coloured (blue or
orange) or in nasty shades of green or brown. Often tacky and
cheap-looking. Usually has a hood. Very popular in the 70s or so, now
considered standard wear for geeks, nerds and trainspotters - a group
into
which, in the limited perception of the General Public, us wargamers
also
fall.....
