This fall seems to have been especially wet. At MJTrends we started to wonder if we had somehow been transported to Seattle with all the back to back days of rain we seem to have had on the East Coast.<\/p>\n

Slogging about for so long inspired us to post about rainwear fashions. We get a lot of questions about how to put together water proof and water tight applications.<\/p>\n

If you’re making a rain jacket, stitching is fine, however if your goal is dry pack (a back pack that goes on a canoe, typically with a rolled top and seal) you’ll want to use glue. Dry packs can be made with a glued seamed latex interior, or you can use a vinyl adhesive (coming soon) to create 100% waterproof seals.<\/p>\n

Several of our fabrics are suitable for rainwear including latex, patent vinyl<\/a>, pvc <\/a>(2-way stretch vinyl), and our stretch vinyl<\/a> (4-way stretch vinyl). Latex is the least durable, although our .80mm latex<\/a> can hold up to a lot of wear and tear. Patent vinyl is stiffer and thicker, suitable for sturdier fashions like overalls, whereas our pvc and stretch vinyl would be used where you want a form fitting style.<\/p>\n

One of the more interesting things we’ve seen this year is a crocodile skin umbrella. Apparently a billionaire paid $50,000 for it. Quite a hefty sum considering he could have bought some faux black crocodile fabric<\/a> from MJTrends and made one for about $49,985 less. It definitely has the cool factor.<\/p>\n
