The Postalco Poncho
Japanese accessories and stationary line Postalco has now slicked its way into wearable goods with the introduction of its insanely rad Rain Cape.
For me, a proper poncho is a playful yet practical pairing of Christopher Robin-like whimsy and British Army Recruit-style ruggedness.
Marching through puddles in one come dreary ‘n drip-droppy days it’s hard not to feel like the caped crusaders we all dressed up as and wished we’d someday become way back when we were young. An ordinary walk to the corner bus stop becomes an incredible adventure, a top secret mission.
“There are many ways to stay dry in a storm,” Postalco states, but for me, there’s now really only one.

Looks great! Any idea when or where it will be available, and at what price? Thanks!

So far I have tracked it down only at Ka-Pok. http://ka-pok.com/?page_id=3&category=6
They are in Japan although they do offer shipping worldwide, so that keeps the dream alive!
