For the last two weeks, I have been in search of yellow rain slicker fabric. This is the fabric we all wore as kids, on rainy days. Fisherman wear these on fishing trips. I have looked high and low, with no results. I do not want the gore tex type of fabric. It has to be the yellow rubberized (maybe?) fabric. Any one have any ideas, on where to look? thanks in advance for any leads! Kathy |

| I just saw this fabic the other day in the 1.00 bin at WalMart. the bright yellow caught my eye. I know the fabric you are talking about. I did a double take at it because I've never seen any fabric like that at WalMart before. They also had some vinyl for go-cart seats and 4 wheeler seats I was looking for, which surprised me too. |

Thank you for all of your helpful suggestions. I am still out of luck. No one seems to carry this type of fabric anymore. It's crazy! I swear, I have seen raincoats made of this fabric in the last year or so. Keep sending me suggestions maybe I will hit it lucky! Thanks so much! This is a wonderful sight! Kathy
