Gorgeous stuff. But if you don't live where it rains a lot, that is quite a bit to pay. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/raincoatwhy-so-expensive#post-820677 Wed, 16 Jan 2013 23:38:56 +0000 MsMaven 820677@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Polyester, short sleeves, high price. On the other hand, Max Mara is a good brand. I haven't seen this coat in real life, but I am hoping to find a non-trench raincoat one of these days. The photo may not do it justice, but it doesn't look it's worth nearly $600 to me.</p> <p>I second the suggestion to look at Lands End. I looked through their catalogue yesterday and was tempted by a few styles. Feedback from anyone who has tried one of their coats would be great. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/raincoatwhy-so-expensive#post-820676 Wed, 16 Jan 2013 23:38:48 +0000 lyn* 820676@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oooh; it's so pretty ... it looks like it has a very beautiful drape. Would you like something that is more fitted in the middle? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/raincoatwhy-so-expensive#post-820664 Wed, 16 Jan 2013 23:28:09 +0000 Mochi 820664@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The sleeves would be the PERFECT length on me, I bet. Just sayin'. I love this design too, and the color is great. I also am disappointed that it's so darn expensive. I'm not even sure what I'd be willing to pay for a raincoat. I guess it can double as a plain fall or spring jacket too, but that's a lot of money. I just keep thinking, "It's polyester!" </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/raincoatwhy-so-expensive#post-820627 Wed, 16 Jan 2013 22:52:02 +0000 Thistle 820627@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Keep looking. Besides, it looks like it has 3/4 sleeves. Wouldn't you rather hold out for something with longer sleeves? (I am trying, here!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/raincoatwhy-so-expensive#post-820610 Wed, 16 Jan 2013 22:33:15 +0000 biscuitsmom 820610@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks great, but I agree with you about the $ Keep looking, hope you can find it for a reasonable amount.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/raincoatwhy-so-expensive#post-820470 Wed, 16 Jan 2013 20:50:35 +0000 Kristin SF 820470@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That is EXACTLY the coat I've been looking for. But not at that price. Pouting with you, too. Le sigh. Maybe stalk? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/raincoatwhy-so-expensive#post-820461 Wed, 16 Jan 2013 20:46:11 +0000 Anonymous 820461@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Have you tried Land's End, LL Bean or anything like that? Sometimes the styles surprise you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/raincoatwhy-so-expensive#post-820443 Wed, 16 Jan 2013 20:29:29 +0000 cloud9 820443@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Is it me or the sleeves are super short? I've been keeping an eye out for a new raincoat too, but for my oh so frequent "storms" here, I can't justify this kind of cost either. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/raincoatwhy-so-expensive#post-820275 Wed, 16 Jan 2013 18:15:59 +0000 missvee 820275@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a gorgeous coat! . The price reflects the style and quality that the brand is known for. They have a beautiful reversible wool coat out now, in lemon and beige, but I know that the sizes will be gone long before there's a price reduction. I will join you in a little pout of my own </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/raincoatwhy-so-expensive#post-820258 Wed, 16 Jan 2013 18:04:13 +0000 Mia 820258@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is so tempting to me... I have been looking a long time to replace a DKNY of similar style I had about 10 years and wore thru pregnancy. I do live in a rainy climate so that might be the reason it would make sense on a cost per wear for me but not for you.</p> <p>I can point out that Max Mara is beautiful quality, hence the $$$ and an item like this should have longevity due to the classic nature of the design. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/raincoatwhy-so-expensive#post-820212 Wed, 16 Jan 2013 17:27:11 +0000 deb 820212@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I still have not found a raincoat that I like so I have been raincoat-less so far this winter. I came upon this one and I am in love but it is way too much money for an article of clothing that will not be worn a lot. I now sit here and pout :-(</p> <p><a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/weekend-max-mara-ode-raincoat/3419744?origin=category&#038;contextualcategoryid=0&#038;fashionColor=&#038;resultback=958" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/we.....ltback=958</a> </p>
