This jacket was given to Mick Tighe by Rhona Weir, wife of the author and TV personality, Tom Weir. It had been given to Rhona by a Miss MacFarlane, one time president of the Ladies Scottish Climbing Club. Miss MacFarlane and Rhona had worn it on various mountaineering expeditions, come rain or shine. Whether or not something waterproof went over the top, we are not sure.
