have you ever heard of this jacket company? the info in the story is wrong, and google turns up crap. i want to get that jacket.
"The Protective Clothing Company pea coat ($80; 212-684-1410), with its slosh-proof PVC-coated cotton shell, may seem perfect for weathering squalls, but in an urban environment it doubles as a don't-worry-about-getting-anything-on-me jacket. It's really a raincoat in a pea coat's clothing. Protective has installed grommets under each arm for some breathability. But one of the nicer aspects of the Protective is the cut, which unlike some hip raincoats, doesn't leave you feeling as if you're sloshing along with your head poking through a Hefty sack: It hangs nicely and doesn't bind at the shoulders."
