I wasn't looking for a jacket. In fact, I don't normally even shop at the Timberland factory store, but Spouse was looking for a comfortable pair of shoes so we ducked in.
I saw this jacket which really looked striking to me. This photo is terrible, but I got frustrated with Spouse not listening to me about how to take the photo.
I liked the ivory color with the contrasting black detail. Most outerwear for men is black, navy, or some other dark color which I find depressing in the winter. I prefer lighter, brighter colors. Plus I already have a black nylon jacket and a navy wool jacket. This fabric looks kind of like leather from a distance but is actually more like neoprene.
I looked at the price tag on the cuff which read $128. This is a lot more than I would pay for a jacket. But then I saw the sign on the top of the rack which read "70% off". I used the calculator on my iPhone to determine this striking jacket would cost me less than $40. Score!!!
I pondered the situation for a minute ("Do I really need another jacket?") but decided that since I really, really liked it, it fit well, and I'd probably kick myself later if I didn't buy it, I went ahead and bought it.
I think its really cool!

When we wear something we like it shows in our attitude and personality. Great look for you, too. Keep warm.
