THIS artist has captured the attention of potential buyers after making jackets that look like human flesh and selling them for hundreds.
While the coats aren’t actually made with people’s remains, they bear an eerie resemblance to human flesh.

The strange fashion pieces can be bought via eBay account The Flesh Krafter for £600.00, which comes to roughly $720.
These jackets are made to order and take about three weeks to finish, according to the artist’s eBay page.
“Here’s how it works. You send me a jacket that you know fits and feels right to you,” the seller said on eBay.
“I then cover it in a replica of human skin and either deliver it to you or dispatch it to you.”
The artist said that “the whole process sound[s] simple,” but “it isn’t.”
“They incorporate faces, nipples, ears, and even tattoos,” the artist said.
But he warned potential buyers that “they are heavy.”
These jackets have one external pocket and one internal pocket and are made from silicone latex laminate that is “crudely sewn together.”
The artist said that he’s been making these unique items for over two decades.
“I have been doing this now on eBay since the turn of the new millennium,’ he said.
The seller added: “I have noticed that since then more and more people on eBay have begun to make and sell models like my own.
“But no one has yet been able to match my level of imagination and finish,” the artist claimed. “Not to mention my prices.”
BUYERS’ REACTION
While some might be creeped out by the resemblance of human flesh, getting flashbacks to The Silence of the Lambs, others enjoy the artwork and have been left satisfied by their purchase.
“Another brilliant piece of art from this friendly and professional seller,” one buyer, who has ordered multiple jackets, said.
“Highly recommended and much appreciated,” another customer praised.
A third said that the jacket is “a true piece of artwork that I will enjoy for years to come.
“Life-like and death-like at the same time.”
