Mac coat
Plain, single-breasted raincoat without a belt and epaulettes, usually knee-length and made of cotton gabardine. It is more pared-down than the trench coat and can be worn over a sport coat as well as over a sweatshirt. Beige or navy goes with almost everything in the catalog. The name goes back to Charles Macintosh, who developed a waterproof, rubberized fabric.
