Modern rain gear would not remotely be considered oil skins. That is really poor phraseology. I suggest this whole thing be redone.
The topic should be rain proof gear, oil skins are one form that is outdated and we sure do not nor did call them that and I grew up fishing. It was raincoats not oil skins. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.237.51.20 ( talk) 00:33, 29 December 2019 (UTC)
Local wikilink " sou'wester" redirects to this article, so the point in this article that refers to sou'westers seemed the natural place for a sister link to Wiktionary's entry. -- Pi zero ( talk) 13:01, 2 December 2013 (UTC)
I’ve come here wondering what the difference is between a normal raincoat and an oilskin, but the article never mentions raincoats. Another person seems to have been interested in waxed jackets and how they compare. It would be interesting if someone knowledgeable on the topic could provide some differentiating information in the article. Thanks! — Telofy ( talk) 17:58, 9 February 2016 (UTC)
