I went in to buy a coat for Leo and was shocked by the prices!!! I did end up buying him a suede & sheepskin one for the -20 we have at the cabin, but in Abbotsford it mainly rains and I was not gonna pay over $35 for a raincoat ... no matter how well it's made. So I dragged out the machine, dusted it off and ... Voila! All for less than $4.00 of material. I had all the velcro & clips already
