Plastic raincoat

Raincoat with black and white 'Op Art' pattern

This ‘Op Art’ plastic raincoat is from the late 1960s. The label states that is was made by Delamare, who were a Tesco brand. The design of this raincoat copied work by artists like Bridget Riley who gave the ‘Swinging Sixties’ much of its look. This mac was donated to National Museums Liverpool by a former member of staff.
