Thank you TNF!

Bought this jacket 22 yrs ago and wore it until it was no longer able to keep me warm, that was 12 yrs of heavy use. Glad it came back and it's just as amazing as when I got it in '96.

FUNCTIONAL COZY PERFECTION

I almost forgot how really cozy and warm a substantial down jacket can be...... The trend to light weight down jackets and Prima loft type products is way over rated. The functional “authenticity” of this retro 1990’s jacket is simply exceptional. Thanks Alex C.

Warm

I walk the dog at 7 am and it can be cold, windy, and slippery. The jacket is perfect for the first two.
