Price Points: Puppy raincoats

Puppy raincoats

We promise to stop the puppy spam soon – honest! We brought our new 10-week old Weimaraner puppy home yesterday; he’s adorable. We’ve gathered all-sorts in preparation; a puppy gate, food, toys, bowls, leads… but we’re yet to buy him a coat.

We wanted to wait until he arrived, so that we could measure him. He grew so much between the time we first saw him and the day we went to collect him. We’re coming up to the cold and wet time of the year so something that will keep him warm and dry at the same time is what we want.

We’ve short-listed three of our favourite puppy raincoats; helpfully available in multiple sizes. We like each of them for differing reasons. We chose #1 because of its lovely mustard colour, it would work well with his silver fur. Number two is reflective, which is useful when out walking on dark, winter afternoons. The third, and most expensive, option is a proper waterproof wax jacket. It’s lined with real wool, which will keep the chilly temperatures at bay.

  1. Joules dog raincoat, mustard: £14-£30, Pets at Home
  2. Reflective dog raincoat jacket: from £30.51, Etsy
  3. Personalised navy winter waxed dog coat by Teddy Maximus: from £52.99, NOTHS

vintage shop advertising sign for Antirain Rainwear

As we enter our 5th consecutive day of rain here in the Pennines, we think this is a very appropriate blog post.

We came across this fabulous vintage sign recently.

It’s a shop counter sign for ‘Antirain rainwear’ and dates from the late 1940s or early 50s. It has a classic look of the day – think James Stewart in It’s a Wonderful Life or Trevor Howard in Brief Encounter. It’s even got a cute dog thrown in for good measure!

We uncovered a couple of trivia gems whilst looking into the company responsible for Antirain products – P.Frankenstein & Sons Ltd  (yes, Frankenstein!). The first is that one of their prototype flying suits which incorporated pipes with circulating liquid were used by NASA in its trials to develop the Apollo spacesuit. The second is that they designed the amazing iconic yellow spacesuits seen in the classic film, 2001: A Space Odyssey.

Making waterproof macs must have been a doddle compared to spacesuits – and the company was based in Manchester, so who better to develop waterproof clothing?
