The sight, sound, touch, smell and even taste of this material make it distinctively SENSUAL.
For some people the appeal is difficult to explain.

On this page, links to graphic descriptions of different tactile, visual and practical uses of related materials might be worth exploring - if you like that sort of thing!

Waterproof clothing either pushes your buttons ...
... or it doesn’t.
Detailed description of how it feels, looks, sounds, smells and even tastes crop up in a lot of my stories.

 For site visitors who share my enthusiasm ... this page offers a convenient list of links to descriptions and photos of 'oilskins' for want of a better word.

GETTING MORE SPECIFIC
Oilskin is a term that has changed it's meaning over the last century.

Canvas outer clothing soaked in crude oil or coated with tar in long-gone sea-going days was black and sticky.

Industrial ‘oilskin’ when first manufactured was the only really waterproof fabric during the 19th Century, but even that wasn’t totally water and wind-proof.

PVC (Poly vinyl chloride) sheeting gradually replaced traditional oiled woven fabric. Clothing made from this compound needed seams heat welded for the garment to be fully waterproof .

Here we will only be dealing with heavy-duty weatherproof gear, as distinct from the thin, soft and shiny PVC fabric used for fashionable kink.
To each his own!

Rubber gear as such is also not included, and even latex coated or neoprene impregnated items used for wet and dry diving gear do not appear on this index heading. BUT other plasticized fabrics such as ‘Black Prince’ and smooth khaki waterproof army gear might just squeeze into the ‘oilskins’ list.
Waxed fabric, although not totally waterproof, figures in a lot of my fantasies. Until I get around to a separate index for it ... further down this page, there are links

SHORTER EXTRACTS
Several other stories and ‘topic’ pages on this site are worth a vist ...
but for your convenience, the quite short ‘oilskin’ mentions are quoted here in full

BRIGHTON FRONT - a story about a seaside encounter:
Further along the promenade, I watched a few fishermen-mates who had settled down for a day on the beach. Because there was a slight wind and modest tide, rubber hip-boots and waterproof suits were not out of place. Fully padded Goretex overall suits, bib and brace day-glow oilskins ... and dark green tents to retire into, probably full of canvas haversacks full of reels and lines and cords, including fine nylon line with which to tie inescapable knots ...

Later in the story the game-player invites an army hard-nut who can not resist a challenge to join him for a session.
... “I want to see you sweating.” I explained. “Do you have any waterproof gear?”
His frown lapsed into a sudden grin “More than enough.”
“I see,” I smiled “kinky little sod. What sort of stuff?”
“Barbour waxed two piece ... a bit clapped out. Rukka one piece. Pair of RAF Dispatch Rider armour-tex breeches. Oh, and I’ve got a full RAF Fight Deck suit (very wind and waterproof) ... and a yellow oilskin suit and wellies nicked from Costain.”
“Just the job - bring them along ... you might finish up wearing them all at the same time!”

CRIMINAL CONFESSIONS FROM SUBURBIA - a long and information-packed real life autobiography of a kinky married couple mentions ...
“ ... Because we're both more into real gear rather than sex costumes means my hubby Malc is well provided for with his diving dry-suit, bike waterproofs and a black oilskin naval Foul Weather suit if he fancies a session of tied-up sweat and struggle. One of his favourite kicks is to be out of doors warm and waterproof all wrapped and strapped up helpless all night in the pouring rain.
With me cosy and warm inside our little camper van somewhere in the wilds of the Surrey countryside ... where anything is possible ... ” READ COMPLETE TEXT

 IMPROVISED STRAIT-JACKETS - the topic includes ...
“ ... In my early days when I found a solid black oilskin ex-Navy anorak complete with matching pants in a Government Surplus shop, I further improved my DIY skills. The anorak came well down to the crotch, and had storm-proof cuffs inside to seal the sleeve-ends. It was also hooded and had a waist belt. Restrictive enough in itself (being so thick and heavy), it was crying out for modification. Buying a second pair of pants allowed me to cut these up and add double thickness simple tubes of oilskin to lengthen the sleeves beyond finger-ends. Carried away by my growing DIY skills, the extra fabric also became a through-crotch flap which could be laced tight between my oilskin clad legs (if a chose to wear the pants), otherwise between my naked thighs. Even a pair of crude oilskin foot covers were attempted to complete the ensemble - but wellies or waders added to my enjoyment.
First time getting myself totally encased in the tough sticky black anorak in strait-jacket mode while wearing the oilskin trousers and rubber boots confirmed my instinctive preference for total encasement in industrial-weight gear and simulated restraint.
Sometime soon I hope to pick up a second suit in a slightly smaller size - and use it inside-out INSIDE the bigger suit with oilskin next to my naked skin.”

LETTERS FROM THE FETTERS FILES - In this collection of correspondence, the topic of sports equipment as bondage briefly touches on the subject of Oilskin:
“ ... Sometime in the near future I would like you to describe the techniques you've devised for putting yourself into your rubber layering solo sessions. The idea of you in a latex full body suit under your diver's wet suit INSIDE a dry suit, is a blast. When you visit - I’d like to video you getting yourself into all those layers. I guess I have a black oilskin foul weather suit which might just fit over the top of it all.”

INFORMATION SHEET - BAGS & SACKS
In this collection of eight Information Sheets, the subject of lining restrictive bags and sacks is discussed:
“ ... Requests to have latex or oilskin lining added to bondage bags are frequent and possible ... but usually my recommendation is that you do not commit yourself to just one option. A permanently attached lining such as oilskin or latex many limit choices - and may also limit the time that can comfortably be spent in the sack. Wearing anything from a latex cat-suit, all rubber diving suit, foul weather naval oilskins or motorcycle leathers before entering a bag or sack are practical alternatives”.
