My grandma weaved, on a non-mechanical loom, and sewed a light jacket for herself (one that was not even slightly water resistant). She estimated that it took 200 hours, but she also pointed out something else: she was the only one in her weaving group who could make one, and the group has been weaving for years. So you are not even looking for minimum-wage-dollars. You are looking for semi-skilled labour; and those 200 hours didn't include making and dying the yarn, growing and harvesting the plants, etc (she purchased or were given the yarn). I love my dishwasher, but that doesn't even come close to reducing the cost of a light jacket by a factor of 100-1000. My washing machine is of much more utility since I spend only maybe ten minutes a week washing vs an entire days worth of labour.
