Gore Tex Raincoats
What did Victorian men wear in the rain?
Many of the movies you see the men are dressed in smart long black coats and top hats and oddly i have never seen an old victorian movie set in England in which it rains.
So what did these Victorian men do when it rained in victorian times? I mean umbrellas were only invented recently and i'm sure only rich people could afford them
Also they never had raincoats or Mackintosh or Gore-tex like we do now with hoods?
So what did these men do? I mean did they just walk out with their smart long black velvety coats and tophats and get soaked through and say "chin up old chum"?
Any ideas?? Many thanks for answering my question
For the record, umbrellas have been around for much longer than modern times and can be seen in paintings throughout history.
They probably just wore heavy coats.

The general use of the parasol in France and England was adopted, probably from China, about the middle of the seventeenth century. At that period, pictorial representations of it are frequently found, some of which exhibit the peculiar broad and deep canopy belonging to the large parasol of the Chinese Government officials, borne by native attendants.
John Evelyn, in his Diary for June 22, 1664, mentions a collection of rarities shown him by one Thompson, a Roman Catholic priest, sent by the Jesuits of Japan and China to France. Among the curiosities were "fans like those our ladies use, but much larger, and with long handles, strangely carved and filled with Chinese characters," which is evidently a description of the parasol.
Thus, during Victorian period, they did have umbrellas, aka as parasols or brollies, to shelter from rain or sun.
