Abstract
A reversible raincoat or rain jacket is constructed from a plurality of panels of specialized fabric, which are joined by threaded seams and which alternatively present either a dress mode exterior or a protective mode exterior. The specialized fabric is composed of a dress weave facing, a high visibility knit facing and an interstice therebetween. The interstice consists essentially of a vapor permeable membrane. The seams are sealed at the knit facing, along the threaded seams and along borders of the panels, by tape which matches the knit facing fabric in appearance. Both faces of the fabric are infused with a water repellant treatment.
