- Firstly, to Duncan, see the File by HH on Viking Seventeens. My mother had one and I then bought one for myself to keep in secretto and they both identify exactly wih the detail on this File from HH. To change the subject completely, yes, I particularly like the mountain scene with the cows and deliciously clad girl in attendance. I have it as background on my PC in my university office and students remark upon it. The scenery, of course, not the regnfrakk. I tell them that my oldefar, great-grandfather to them, as a boy used to have to look after the cows during the summer months well up in the mountains. He had to sleep up there at night to scare off any prowling wolves after the calves. He slept out in the open right next to the cow with the bell round her neck (see the other photo) since, should wolves approach, the bell-cow would leap to her feet, the bell would ring, he would wake up and start shouting in an adult voice and then stoke up the fire to scare the wolves away. He never told me though what sort of rainwear they had in those days long ago and I never thought to ask! There are people in Norway now who want the wolves back. Would you believe it?! I would rather have the regnfrakker back.
Harald - The female you mention is wearing my favorite (as mentioned in a previous message) slicker, Kelly Longcoat.
And, no, I have not been able to find a picture of my 70's black, hooded slicker (which is
no longer in my possession, I think my ex-wife grabbed it when we split up). But I do think something like it is made by Didrikssons in Sweden, I saw one in a store here in Oslo.
By the way - I do own a slicker exactly like the one the man is wearing, but when I'm out in the rain wearing it I also wear my black sou'wester and rubber boots. Naturally.
