Kagools...

I remember in the mid 80's, when I was about 14, getting this Patrick Kagool for Christmas and loving it so much I even wore it right through the summer.

My break dance crew from Newcastle and myself all wore this back in the 80's. One lad in our crew was American and he brought them back from America for us to wear. No one had the style we wore and made us feel proud to be original.:)

Sorry, but that's not a cagoule. This is a real cagoule
full

Elasticated hood and cuffs but definitely no zip down the front because that is where the only pocket is. Stuffs down into the pocket on the front and lives in your school bag ready for a pen to leak blue ink onto it.
Made from real 1970's nylon, so although technically rain proof it makes you sweat so much that you get as just as wet as if you weren't wearing it.

I was thinking this. It was something as a kid that was rolled up and held together with a massive elastic band for wear only when it rained. You simply wouldn't choose to wear it if it wasn't raining. Many many pics of me when young on family holidays wearing a blue one. :neutral::lol:
