You can be the proud owner of a ridiculously ugly jacket that may, or may not keep you warm, for the low price of $10,000, or 100 easy payments of 100 dollars.
Keep in mind, your jacket may very well float away after payment number 1, with only 99 more to go!
Called Helium-10000, the coat is inflated by the wearer using a valve near the hem and an accompanying canister of the lighter-than-air gas.
At home, it doubles up as an art piece and can be left to float on the ceiling in lieu of being hung on a coat rack.
“There is no benefit to it being able to fly,” Kostman told Dezeen.
“It is more an artefact designed to amaze and make people realise that more can be done if we overcome our traditional thinking and approach things from a different angle.”
They Should Have Used Hydrogen.
Blammo!
Does it come with a valve so that you can take a random hit and talk like Donald Duck?
Meh. It’s been done. Fart in a wetsuit.
Search for helium infused beer.😉

Hardcore Henry’s jacket was way better.
Danger,Will Robinson!
Warning to Anorexics:
This jacket may cause you to float away into the stratosphere.
The WSJ does a magazine on the weekends that I read for only 1 reason. The “fashion” ads are laugh out loud outrageous. Like the “jacket”, the cost of this crap is in the stratosphere. There was a pair of boots that I saw a couple of months ago for the bargain basement price of $15,000! Nothing special, they looked just like a pair of basic work boots that can be bought anywhere for less than a $100. The only difference was the name on them. A person could buy a decent used vehicle for that amount & get there a lot quicker.
Someone could use that to cheat on their weight watchers meeting weigh-in.
Seems like a Methane Jacket would b easier to design and cheaper.
Why get one of those jackets when you could get 10 tickets for the Teenage Bottlerocket, MakeWar, and Rutterkin concert for the un-vaccinated people you don’t like.
I prefer a vest that stops lead for around $400.00, Alex.
There will be enough stupid people that will buy it, and comes with a built-in mask 😷 muzzle for the Covid Nazi’s. 😁
Didn’t George Costanza wear a similar jacket in an episode of Seinfeld? 🤔
Wouldn’t that be illegal in CA?
I swear to God, if I saw someone actually wearing one, I’d have to try and pop it. How trendy is the stupid thing going to be when it’s covered in bicycle tire repair patches? Or would that actually enhance its appeal, like buying pre-ripped jeans?
When not in use as a jacket, it can be used as a birthday balloon, or a any other special occasion celebration – mothers day, anniversary, get well, etc.
I could be the first one on my block.
Better yet, how about a thermite jacket?

What in the world does this word salad even mean????
Reagan tried to get rid of the US Helium Reserve – now I can see a possible use for it, since we no longer have dirigibles in our Air Forces.
“Never give a sucker an even break.”
Bill Gates probably has a set of em in rainbow colors.
izlamo delenda est …
Little tiny helium molecules will go right through that shit faster than that Mickey Mouse balloon from Disneyland that was flat by the next morning.
Does it come in dog size?
Might be cheaper to just buy one of those cow-fart bags….
