A jacket resembling human skin being sold online has left netizens reeling in disgust and horror. A seller on eBay, named The Flesh Krafter, is selling the jackets for $720 each.

The creator stresses that these jackets are made from a silicone latex laminate, which is made to resemble human skin, but is not actually real.

The gory piece of clothing takes approximately three weeks to be crafted as it is custom-made. In the product description, the seller added that the human skin-like finish is added to a pre-existing jacket sent by a customer:

"Here’s how it works. You send me a jacket that you know fits and feels right to you. I then cover it in a replica of human skin and either deliver it to you or dispatch it to you."

The jackets can be customized

Each jacket is fashioned with two pockets, one on the outside, and another which is an internal pocket. What's more, buyers can customize their coats with added tattoos, faces, ears, and human nipples. However, the seller warns that these make the clothing heavy.

In addition to these jackets, The Flesh Krafter also sells death masks and necklaces that are made out of human nipple replicas.

Concluding their message on the website, the seller remarked that they could only find one other person offering a similar product online, adding:

"His are crap and 3 times the price."
