[mothboy88]

I braved the masses at htis weekend's REI garage sale and picked up this jacket for my wife who has been looking for a down sweater. It was unfortunately too big. I am looking to recoup the cost.

Asking price - As evidenced by the writing inside the jacket, I paid $59.83. I am asking the same price. I'll even give you the 17 cents in change if you pay me $60.

 

I live in north Seattle. I'll try to check this board and my private messages daily.

Realized as I was posting that I neglected to include some vital info. Its a women's cut and medium size.

Actually, I looked into it and the synthetic insulation is specially formulated to have an higher R-factor when in proximity to XX chromosomes. Warm enough for a man, pH balanced for a woman.

 

Yeah, "women's cut" is probably misleading beacuse I doubt its really different from the "men's." Nonetheless, the label does say "womens." If you are male and you find the parka fits, I give you the mothboy88 promise of absolute confidentiality and will never tell a soul that you are wearing a "women's" jacket. I will even go so far as to in all likelyhood violate several federal laws by cutting out the tag that so blatanlty polarizes humanity by assigning a gender label to an inanimate garment.

 

However, the astute observer will notice the zipper pull is on the left side instead of the right as males are used to. And that detail could be the difference between life and death as you rely upon procedural muscle memory in a hypoxic stupor at high altitude. Just wanted to throw in that disclaimer.

It's like the one used in Vertical Limit where the down was strategically repositioned for greater curvaceousness?

 

And it's a nice jacket. Someone buy it!
