Rain gear ??

**JRB** · 16th September 08, 06:36 AM

I like the looks of the Mr. Anthony rain capes but for one glaring aspect; snaps. I personally feel that the snaps make the cape look decidedly cheap and flimsy, more like stow-away rain gear than a nice cape. I know that the cape is of high quality and that the snaps are sturdy and all (I've had a chance to examine them on several occasions), but I just can't equate snaps with nice outerwear. If Mr. Anthony put out a rain cape with nice large buttons (like the ones on a good trench coat) I would definitely be on board.

There are several models apparently. My Mr. Anthony cape has buttons on it.

Good to know. If I find one I'll have to consider purchasing it. All the ones I've seen have had snaps.

Just recv'd an email from Antony. The ONLY cape he makes with buttons is the "STANDARD"

That's too bad, because I really like the feel of the material that the Ultimate is made from. Ir feels more like a classic trench coat which is what I'm looking for.
