The black macs I got from boohoo aren't as good as these fabulous ones that were available when boon was being made.

Yeah, especially when the pic is enlarged. The mac looks quite similar to the one worn by Amanda Donohoe in 'An Affair In Mind' (link put up on October 5).

Available at C&A stores at that time - don't remember seeing any other colour than black though.

Are C & A still going?

In the Netherlands we still have C&A but unfortunately they don't sell macs like that anymore

Not in the UK but there are still some stores in Europe - remember seeing one the last time I was in Berlin.

I have been in the C&A store in Berlin on several occasions - never seen any PU/PVC macs for sale either.
