I was carefully selected by Jules. Probably more carefully than any other item of clothing she has ever owned. 
One Christmas, Jules received a winter coat, but that coat's sleeves were too short, so she had to return it. Jules has long arms, and for a long-sleeved clothing item to become her favorite, the sleeves need to be long enough. So, she went on the hunt for the perfect winter coat. Her requirements, other than long sleeves were: trench style, hood, waterproof and warm, preferably down. She tried on dozens of coats, and nearly all of them had arms that were just too short for her daddy-long arms. Until this unicorn showed up, it had everything she wanted and she couldn't wait to take it home.
Over the next several years, unless she was skiing (I am too long and bulky to wear on the slopes), she was wearing me in the winter. I lived a good life with her. We went to football games, on ski trips (I became an aprés-ski staple), on neighborhood walks, and late-night sweet-treat runs. We had a lot of fun together. Until a newer version of me entered and I got pushed to the back of the closet. But, because I was a favorite for so long, she kept both of us. I saw the way she looked at me. She wanted to keep me around. She wanted to still wear me. Until, she decided there was no point in keeping two beautiful, warm winter coats. It was time for me to go to a new home. I have to say I am proud of her. I know I am one of her favorite clothing items of all time. We have a long history. It's so hard to say goodbye to yesterday. 
 
I am waterproof and down, have a hood with removable faux fur, lots of pockets, and a zipper front plus magnetic closure. It is hard to put a price on something as special as me. I am $350.00 new, and although I have been around the world, and I can't find my baby, I am still in very good condition. 
 
Are you my baby?
