The decline of the yellow raincoat

[Spareribs]

Back in the old days, when it was raining, everyone wore a yellow raincoat. It looked good and it had style. These days when it rains, nobody wears the yellow raincoat anymore.

People now use dog poop bags

That's not right. A proper gentleman should wear a yellow raincoat.

Haha, that's right. Best alternative for me is the beautiful trench coat.

I wonder how the color yellow became the established color of said raincoats of that era. Hi visibility in inclement weather? Know that I think of it, yellow is still popular with the off shore fisherman I see on television now and then.

Yeah it's for visibility since rain darkens the day.

Oh I suppose it is no longer "Haute Couture". Funny how things go out of fashion, and then some how return to be hip and trendy-like cassettes.
