Y'know, you could always make it into strips for a May Pole. It'll be seasonal!

(just kidding; I have no idea what you should truly do with ye olde raincoat)

Actually, given the April Showers-May Flowers connection, that could be quite lovely! It might be hard to get really long strips, but I could totally work with that.

Cut it up and sew the pieces together to make a trendy messenger bag!

I miss my raincoat from 6th grade that was beautiful shiny glimmering mother-of-pearl colored and simply fabulous. (Meaning, naturally, that I was teased unmercifully for wearing it because beautiful & fabulous != conformist = acceptable 6th grader attire.)

ooh! I could even sew the "this coat belongs to" patch onto the inside (my parents still live at the address, so the bag/coat/whatever would still get home).

bah, acceptable 6th-grader attire. I agree, your shiny coat sounds lovely.

When I was in preschool I had a blue raincoat with a shark's head for a hood and it was the best fucking raincoat ever.

I'm sure yours is okay too.
