Raincoats like this were traditionally worn by Chinese farmers and fishermen. These garments were usually handcrafted from materials such as silver grass, woven palm, or coconut fibers, and designed with multiple layers to prevent water from seeping through. These natural fibers possess a natural water-repellent quality, which help keep the wearer dry. However, with the advent of modern waxed linen, these coats gradually became less popular. Nowadays, these rain jackets are rare and only used in some remote areas of China. However, due to their beauty and exotic appeal, they are often collected as valuable home decor. This raincoat comes with both a rain cape and a bottom apron, making it perfect for display purposes.
