Holy crap. That's a hot raincoat, but not $1000 worth of hot.

presumably somebody who wants an Alexander McQueen mac and who isnt short of a few quid. doesnt seem to be quite the thing for ebay does it

That seems extortion. It doesn't even look that designer unlike some of the Italian raincoats that appear on ebay. I'll stick to pvc-u-like.

LOL!! I had to look at the calender when I first read this post as I thought it must be April 1st!! $1000 for a plastic mac is just another sign of how completely insane the world is going, in the midst of a global recession someone actually thinks they can sell $20 worth of PVC for a grand, rediculous.

If its warm enough everyone sticks to PVC-U-Like

Well, I am guessing then that none of us will be putting this ebay seller in our bookmarks list.

Surely they have put the decimal point in the wrong place, a couple of spaces to the left would be better!

Thats some very expensive sheet of plastic.

For £1000 I would expect a whole wardrobe of top end rainwear - A thick PVC full length mackintosh with a belt and made to measure, a pair of top of the range Hunter wellingtons and at least 3 handmade Souwesters and rainhats !
I wonder who would end up buying it, the thing is there are a lot better raincoats out there for good prices, even one from Rimo-Mantelmode in Germany is far cheaper and is better quality.
Due to the decreasing amount of rukka style and thick plastic macks available (as well as the ridiculous prices) I have decided to try and make my own.
I have bought 8 metres of thick Black glossy PU material, some heavy duty mercerised cotton and thicker needles for the sewing machine. It is going to be a nice little project in the next few weeks to see if I can make my own raincoats and of course I can't wait to try it out in the next big rainstorm. All this probably only cost me £40 (Not £1000 Ha Ha!)
