I have a Columbia Winter Jacket that was 20 years old. It was one of the first one's that ever came out. The zipper broke and it had velcro also, so I never zipped it up, just closed it with velcro. We cleaned out our basement -got a dumpster-and I packed it up and through it in the dumpster.
I'm sad to say I got that Jacket when I was pregnant with my dd, and she will be 21 next month. The last 15 years, I never wore it in public, I only wore it, when I went outside to shovel snow. That winter coat was made for -60 degress weather.
