My God - that's bloody expensive! The matching set that Hylda is wearing (Blackpool 1972!) could probably have been bought at one of the promenade shops for a couple o' quid.

Another great find Rothbhoy. Thanks very much. I was in Blackpool 1975 and bought 4 plastic macs, one gents and 3 ladies. I think they were a few quid each.

You're very welcome Taffmac! Do you still have the 4 plastic macs you bought in 1975? Somehow, I doubt it, but....

I do love the semi transparent macs with the matching rainbonnet. They are getting harder and harder to find, however would not pay over the odds for one

I would have payed it if I have had the money at the time, it was in the USA probably cost alot cause of shipping fees.

Speaking of Ebay insanity, years ago I saw a Hermes concertina rain bonnet also sell for 180 quid. It was an orange colour, exactly the same as the heavy duty bags they line garbage bins with, but the garbage bags are probably thicker. Which meant the Hermes badges on the rivets holding the hood together (which were a quarter of an inch wide maximum) were worth 179.

I did see the Hermes orange rainbonnet on e bay.
I followed the auction, however as you say went for a very tidy sum.

I loved the fabric ties embossed with the Hermes logo, very nice touch.
