Smooth

Smooth was a highly regarded British rubber magazine published during the 1970s and 1980s by Swish Publications. It quickly became a favourite among enthusiasts for its strong focus on reader-submitted photographs and real-life experiences with rubber rainwear and mackintoshes.

Unlike many publications of the era, Smooth stood out for its genuine community feel. Each issue featured dozens of high-quality black-and-white and colour photographs of members wearing classic rubber mackintoshes, heavy single- and double-textured rubber coats, satin-lined mackintoshes, capes, and full rainwear outfits. Readers shared their favourite garments, styling tips, and stories about wearing rubber in everyday life and special occasions.
