The $50,000 Coat

It's a story

about a bloke 
wanting a particular-sort-of-a-certain-kind of coat

The Bloke

and the bloke he contacted 
to make it for him


The Tailor

and the girl who thought it a fascinating story 

The Writer

and wrote about it

The Book

because to most of us
 $50,000 
is alot to pay for a coat 


The Coat

and to a few 
it's what you do....

  1. It is an enormous price to pay for a coat and then to order two more is unbelievable. You can buy a house in the town I live in for the price of those three coats!! x

  3. I heard this story on the radio on Saturday, amazing the tailor had the fabric for 20 years waiting for the right customer,
    Sadly in our throw away world today not many people look for quality, maybe it's my age but I would rather have one piece in my wardrobe that I wore and loved than a lot of crap.
