Where can I find a clear rain coat in NYC?

I need something like this for Halloween.

I've seen them at K-Mart in Astor Place, but they were probably thinner and more poncho-like.

Maybe a camping-type store like Tent & Trails would be more helpful. Call ahead and see if they've got 'em.

Best answer: I see those all the time at the Muji stores here in London. You could try the one in NYC.

Ricky's NYC, the ubiquitous costume chain?

That Muji model is mighty svelte, though, if you'd like to sport it 'round town even on non-costume occasions.

My friend was Patrick Bateman for Hallowe'en last year. He found his clear raincoat in a little odds-and-ends shop in Toronto's Chinatown, which makes me think that in NYC, well-stocked 99-cent stores will have them. FYI, they come folded up in tiny palm-sized packages, which will probably be hanging on a peg near the old-lady roller bonnets.
