Macintosh was experimenting with naphtha -- an oily by-product of tar -- when he made a chance discovery that would redefine the way people dressed forever. "By sandwiching a layer of liquid rubber (made with naphtha) between two layers of fabric, Macintosh created a new material that would be resistant to water while also remaining flexible and wearable," reads Google's blog post on the inventor.
"When Charles Macintosh patented his superior method of rubberising fabric he created a new product that became an instant success," the post continued.
The Mackintosh or 'Mac' remains a wardrobe staple for many people -- come rain or shine. Though the styles may have changed since the early 19th century, the iconic Mac remains, in essence, the same.
"Mackintosh still produce coats with a surprisingly simple process that uses the same technology as the original Mackintosh coat," the post continues.
"Thanks Charles Macintosh, for keeping us warm and dry for over 200 years!"
