ladies flexothene clothing that fits - any hope?

[Chasingmytail]

I need a full wet weather coat. I can find trousers. Fed up of wearing unisex where the sleeves are down to my knees - shape is awful. I have trawled through the net for proper waterproof and can only find scandianvia brands but these are also unisex and no cuffs. Cuffs are essential when out all day in rain. One coat I have from the farm shop Ive chopped the sleeves down and resewn but the shape the length of coat isnt exactly flattering. I look like a bag of spuds. I also occasionally work off the farm in construction so I need to proper PU style material for mud and all day heavy rain. Is there anyone making the stuff for made to measure? Another so called waterproofs are def not after a few weeks. Im stumped (both ways).

Have you looked at the kiwi stuff ,could be something to suit there. Our female vets seem to use the kiwi gear.

Joining the club, @Chasingmytail . I have a Kaiwaka Stormproof coat (from KiwiKit) which has cuffs and is waterproof, but I am not the height of a standard woman from Kiwiland, and it makes me look like a Bash Street Kid. It also started to pong within a few weeks of winter wear, so although it's waterproof and sturdy, it isn't designed for actual activity other than quadbike work. Even then, it lacks riding vents, so won't be especially comfortable in use.

Monsoon waterproofs now cost £silly for something which nowadays cracks for a hobby, and are styled for the portly.

I used to find some good, properly cut, coats from the horsey and shootery sections of the ag merchants, but these days women's wear is just for fashion. Nothing is of a durable fabric, and the cut only works if you only need to use your arms and hands to hold up a brolly.

Scope out Deluth Trading Co, or Carhartt

You could try Englebert Strauss. They have a huge range of workwear stuff, equally for men and women.

I can’t vouch for how long their stuff stays waterproof, I’ve only bought boots and polo shirts, which last very well. Some of it is a bit gimmicky and I think they’re trying to hard to be fashionable, but it’s generally good stuff.

Try Revolution Race. A friend wears their stuff and she really rates it for farm work (it's not designed with farming in mind - just an outdoor brand). It's maybe a bit expensive though!
