Looks Chinese, lots of latex and one jacket that I bought: https://www.wish.com/product/5b12224ffe8...?share=web

It arrived today, so here a short review.

I have seen this jacket on amazon for a while, but when I tried to order it, I got the message, that the seller doesn't accept to trade with me... odd. Well, then I found it at Wish, ordered it and got it, after about three weeks.

It came in a zipper bag, strong plastic, definitely for long-term storeage. In the bag was a piece of paper with the following text:
"Do not use water soaked clothes within 2 weeks, Because our clothes are all handmade, the glue is not completely solidified, if you really want to use, please bask in the sun about 2-3 days. Then wipe the surface with alcohol or water." This is noteworthy, because I remember the typical expectations, latex garments from china fall apart after a very short time. Perhaps, this is an explanation.

The size is as expected, arms a tad short, but that's okay. The material is not chlorinated, so I had to powder it with talcum. I was a bit suspicious about the functionality of the drawstring for the hood, and I was right. It doesn't move at the moment. I think, it needs some talkum as well, but it will be tricky to get it in place.. I checked all seams and found a spot at the front pocket, where a corner is lose, about 1 cm length. and the top of the zipper is not glued into the collar on one side, about 2 cm. All other seams are fine. This is not a death sentence, but not hight quality either. I will write the seller and see, if I get a reply.

Apart from that, as mentioned, tons of stuff, and prices are moderate.

ps: I just noticed, that the design of the drawstring is not exactly as on the picture. My jacket has a seam around the rim of the hood, where the string is embedded, and it comes out at the zipper. No eylets, string stopper or anything.

ive used wish a few times for kinky and non kinky purchases... so far all but one have been fine.
The one that went wrong, the parcel left on time... went on a big chinese road trip and then was returned to vendor without ever leaving the country.
I was however able to get a full refund, raised a few support tickets and followed the instructions and all was good!

this basically means that they are not suing the bostik solvent based glue... ive had that too on things from AliExpress and Ebay... what allways amazes me is that its surely had that time in transit...

but like you ive had well made and less well made things arrive and had to patch fix a few items

I did test that a few year ago and as its rubber cement it should work just fine
The official bostik glue and solvent combo is the best, but its neither cheap or has a long shelf life, but it can be purchased pretty easily on Ebay in sensible 125- 250ml quantities (and gallons obv Rolleyes )

copydex works too, but the seceret to all of this is make sure things are very clean first... solvent based cleaner is the best, just test a small patch first if not 100% certain its the right stuff
