I've been ...Patagonia stuff sure does last forever. I've been mocked for this particular hideous fleece for more years than I care to remember. I've since gotten a more elegant fleece, at Uniqlo, but that one a) has pockets that don't zip, and b) is too nice to risk getting near bleach.<BR/><BR/>My guess was that the Greenpeace (?) gentleman was not so much asking me to wear heels as calling me a yuppie, or the contemporary equivalent thereof. Anyone owning a Patagonia fleece must have the spare cash for everyone asking for money on the street, and should therefore be chastised for not paying up. Rather than going into the rather impressive cost-per-wear of this particular item, I chose to keep walking.

We live in fleece in our country granola "I could go hiking at any minute" liberal college town.<BR/><BR/>Plus, Patagonia stuff lasts forever, so of course you would keep wearing it.<BR/><BR/>Sometimes I can't imagine living in NYC, what with my inability to walk in heels higher than 2". Especially in snow!Danahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17260899418675764833noreply@blogger.com
