The Mackintosh raincoat (abbreviated as mac) is a form of waterproof raincoat, first sold in 1824, made of rubberised fabric.^[2]

The Mackintosh is named after its Scottish inventor Charles Macintosh, although many writers added a letter k. The variant spelling of "Mackintosh" is now standard.^[3]

Although the Mackintosh coat style has become generic, a genuine^{[citation needed]} Mackintosh coat is made from rubberised or rubber laminated material.
