Brad, Why not buy a Northface jacket. You know, the ones with the name of some famous Himalyan mountain embossed on the front. I have a plain one and a buddy of mine I go drinking with when he's in town has the newer series with the mountain name aboce the Northface logo. All the women gravitate toward him and ask him what it's like on top. I think I get jealous with all the attention he gets but then he does turn awefully red at times, as he once again explains he was never there...
