VINTAGE RUBBERIZED PONCHO

When finding new uses for the materials obtained overseas, we try to make use of the characteristics of the material as much as possible. A military poncho we purchased at the military’s surplus market was characterized by waterproof and water repellent fabric. The fabric is made by the traditional rubber coating process of natural rubber being painted between two thin pieces of fabric and crimped together. The sewing seams are covered with tape and a special adhesive from the back to ensure the item is completely waterproof. The only disadvantage is the smell of rubber remains. Although the smell will fade in time, it may bother some people in the beginning. Size 01 Size: approx. L 31.5 in. x W 45.25 in. Size 02 Size: approx. L 37.5 in. x W 51 in. Material: Repurposed Fabric (Polyester, Rubber, others) By using recycled materials and hand made processes, PUEBCO imbues these objects
