Not entirely sure how waterproofs, the most unflattering of clothing, is proven as an affectation
but, go on, I'll go with it.

Are you talking Barbour jacket or pac-a-mac?
Wearing country-casual wear when you live in London can be considered an affectation- unless you work at the London City Farm, in which case I imagine it's a necessity.

I'm off to Glastonbury.
I can't afford, nor do I particularly want, a Barbour anything.

Waterproofs are probably a good idea then.
Pro-tip. Take a couple of rolls of bin-liners with you, then if it rains cut holes in them and sell for £5.00 each as waterproof ponchos.

I'm not kidding
People did that in 97 or 98- whenever the really wet festival happened and others who had made little provision for wet weather bought them. A couple of rolls will take up fuck all space in your bag and you may find them useful yourself if it rains to stick at last one full change of clothing inside to keep it dry.

Really, I'm on it.
It sounds like a good idea.
