oilskins
Sailor's rain gear
Oilskins are waterproof garments made from cloth treated with oil, traditionally worn by sailors and fishermen.
The term covers both the fabric itself and the clothing made from it—jackets, pants, and full suits designed to repel seawater and rain: The crew donned their oilskins as the storm approached.
Modern versions use synthetic materials but retain the name.
