I've worn it possibly 2-thousand times, and it's still presentable. Certainly not fashionable, but it's a comfortable, and versatile layer that can be worn three seasons, outdoors and inside. another inane thought:

I admired how irrational it was and how she couldn't bear to keep it to herself. A few days later, my wife and I saw her in the elevator and I puffed my chest out, baiting her with the logo, but she didn't bite. However, she didn't pay attention to me at all and talked to Emily, who said, "Man, she gave you no love, huh?" Score. I was just amused that she disliked it enough to tell me.

I mean, are they made by child laborers from the hides of unborn unicorns? I guess I should've thought about that before I bought one 10 years ago. It is indeed a nice jacket. Her resentment against the brand is: everybody has 'em, so I hate 'em. Fair enough, but I'd be interested to explore the depths of her nuttiness and enquire if she hates all popular brands, Toyotas, Levis, Apple, etcetera, or just this particular one. But that might require a terribly long elevator ride. Hate is a strong word, especially for a North Face jacket. I mean, are they made by child laborers from the hides of unborn unicorns?

As much as we value the freedom of speech, we're often at the mercy of whoever signs the paycheck, or whoever can influence that person directly if not yourself. The very old and the very young don't have to be concerned about that as much. Mostly because we have to work and all.

The rest of us mostly do the exact opposite. Interesting that both the very old and the very young speak their mind without concern or even thought about how their comments will be received!
