sou'wester

Oilskin

An Oilskin is a waterproof garment, typically worn by sailors and others in wet areas, such as fish plant workers. Originally handmade of sailcloth waterproofed with a thin layer of tar, they were later mass-produced of canvas duck coated with multiple applications of linseed oil and often finished with layers of paint. While most modern oilskins are made of flexible PVC-coated synthetic fabric, advanced materials for extreme conditions such as yacht racing are increasingly employed. Also known as "foul weather gear", the latter advances include such innovations as DWR-coated nylon on their low end and Gore-Tex and other proprietary waterproof membranes on the high. A Sou'wester is a traditional form of collapsible oilskin rain hat that is longer in the back than the front to fully protect the neck. A gutter front brim is sometimes featured.
