I’m shopping for fleece jackets for the husband’s 5-day trip after Christmas. We have no idea how cold it can get in the mountains but just to be safe, he’s bringing one and a few scarf and gloves. Anyway, I’m surprised at how expensive some of these jackets can be. Which is probably why the reason it took so long for the husband to buy one. Since we live in a tropical country, we just have no use for it. But now he does. Similar to when we had to go to Hongkong on their coldest month, we had to purchase tons of warm clothes, amounting to more than $200. What’s sad about it is that we will rarely use those clothes unless we go back to somewhere cold again. Anyway – I know this one will be a good investment and I’m sure he’ll find a way to use it not just this one time.
