I'd love to see them on the high street , but when you check the stock you find that all but one style is available in Oxford St London and vitually no where else. I reckon they have about 100 coats in some of the styles.

Primark ones might have been a bit cheap and nasty but at least they sold 1000's of them.

And even then not many seem to have been seen in the street, most end up on eBay

has anybody actually seen anyone wearing the primark macs on the street, or for that matter before that the h&m red ones. I have never ever seen anybody actually wearing one out in public. Have to wonder what happened to them all, apart from all the primark ones at greedy unsold prices on ebay

I agree with Merv, I have never seen a Primark or H&M or TopShop mac 'worn in anger' on the streets. I find it interesting that TopShop are marketing the see-through pink one as a 'Plastic Mac' which to us is the best description of the product but maybe a girl in her late teens/early twenties would not think so, if you see what I mean.

Yep, they seem to be few and far between on the streets, Ive seen a Blue Top Shop one, a bright Blue ASOS one and Demi brought a Pink Primark (not the see-thru one) to a shoot but said she'd bought bit but never worn it :(

I cant believe these shops continue to stock them if they dont sell, so whats happening to them, are there more people enjoying them in doors than we thought - I can dream, cant I ?

Wouldnt it be great if Top Shop made those lovely words 'Plastic Mac' more acceptable

I've seen loads of primark and h&m macs being worn. Also they seem to be a fav at theme parks. Go to to chessington or thorpe park on a damp day and you will see dozens

If raincoats didn't sell shops would not stock them,so maybe they are being worn indoors for 'pleasure' rather than outdoors,which is a shame in some ways. I have yet to see the topshop ones,but my local internacionale shop have plenty of jackets but have yet to see them on the streets. If more pvc was worn outside it would encourage me to wear my mac more outside. By the way,I hope the words plastic mac becomes the norm,I find think they sound so good!

Well lets hope if the Top Shop ones dont sell they slash the prices and we get a chance to buy them before they go on eBay at higher prices than Top Shop were charging :)

I think Montcler have disaapered as Im sure Ive seen some of their stuff on the PUL site and Susie High seems to have a good range of their stuff too
