Would you pay $1,005 for this designer raincoat?

It's designer. And it's now half off. But who wants to buy a discounted see-through raincoatfor over $1,000?

The transparent shower-curtain-like outwear made headlines this spring when it showed up in Jil Sander's online store selling for a whopping $2,010 USD.

Guaranteed, no doubt, to keep your favourite$400,000 T-shirt dry.

The raincoat is now on clearance for $1,005, for obvious reasons. Perhaps people would rather deal with soggy days by drying off with$550 beach towels.

If you're one of the few to have already purchased the Jil Sander rain protection — and still have cash to burn — Chipkos' $18,000 flip-flops will surely be a welcome addition to your outrageously pricey wardrobe.

When it comes to fashion, where do you draw the line, budget-wise? If price were no object, would the transparent raincoat end up in your hall closet?

You!

    I bought an umbrella from Target for $10 and a hoodie from Walmart for $15...I think I'm good without this over-priced piece of plastic.

    Who would? You could just buy a shower curtain. I wouldn't pay that much for any raincoat though.

    I would offer them $5 for it, saying how the dollar store sells see through raincoats as well which look and feel the same.

    No. I wouldn't pay that much for any kind of clothing, especially not that raincoat. I don't even like it.

    I wouldn't either, I can walk to a hardware store and buy a box of industrial strength garbage bags and I have a really good raincoat in a pinch. That's what I have in my car in case I have to things like change tires in the rain.

    I wouldn't cough up that much money for ANY article of clothing short of a suit--and it had BEST be a pretty good suit!

Fun
