My puffy jacket is missing. It's a Patagonia Special Edition Down Sweater, black in color, size XL (XL size is for layering underneath, you know). I suspect some flat bill wearin' whippersnapper is on a river showing off in it right now. Probably drifting a bead with an egg dropper. Damn miscreants. I want my jacket back!
That is a serious bummer! If I lost my hooded pata sweater, I'd probably throw my slinkied beanie in the river and cry the whole way home while pedaling my fixed gear bike in my never-washed dark denim. Okay, I probably wouldn't cry.
Just 'cuz he prowls eastern Washington rivers looking to add to his wardrobe doesn't mean he can't afford a good tailor for adjustments!!
It's no use, you'll never find it. I was in Seattle this weekend and every third guy I saw was wearing a puffy. In fact, I commented to my wife " remember in the 70's when everyone had a puffy jacket or down coat?" Of course todays puffies are much nicer.
Should I buy a puffy jacket to keep up with the current fashion trends or become a hermit? I'm leaning toward the latter.
GAT, according to another thread you should buy a puffy to be warm and comfortable while pursuing diverse fish species with a fly rod. As an added benefit you'll look hip and trendy, although they do tend to add a few pounds to the camera. I vote against hermit. That lifestyle seems to offer less fishing than I'd like.
I don't know... they look sorta dumb to me... something like a space suit from a grade C, SciFi movie in the 60s.
If I was a costume designer for a Grade C sci-fi movie, I'd totally buy a bunch of puffys and put colored reflective tape on them. Instant space suit!
I misread your thread title. On first glance I thought it said, "Miss Puffy Jacket!" I wondered who the heck that was and where you were going with it. Glad to hear you found your jacket.
