I have to say I never cared for tin clothes. You can't put them on or take them off in the middle of the day if the weather turns. They shrink too much and I pretty much had to wear long johns with them which can be miserable at times.
Prefer a good set of rainclothes and I'm not talking those expensive gortex types. Best and toughest I've had are my current Tingleys. Had them for a few years.

I see now. Just talking about bad weather. I thought it was something specific to the pnw. We can have that very same weather here in New England, and then be -10 the next day.
Also, having to put chaps on over the tin pants and long johns makes for an uncomfortable time.
Tin pants come in a neutral color and will go well with any color scheme.

I have the same problem with problem with some pants and belts ... I blame it on the washing machine .Unfortunately, most of the wool finally shrank.
Not having seen any tin pants before , is the material similar to what is used in Caharts ?
