Coat to Wear the Rain

Coat to Wear the Rain is an experimental garment designed to catch, hold, and display rainwater. A large collar collects and channels water into eight tubes in the front and back of the garment. The tubes carry the water into the lining of the jacket where it is stored. Because the jacket is transparent the water is visible at all times. Optional dye packets can be added to the collar to change the color of the water, thus the water is not merely transported by the coat, but also becomes part of its aesthetic. The coat contains a drain plug at the bottom which allow the water to be removed.
