    Breathing new life into an old hat

    looking for a new jacket

    Yesterday, I somehow managed to lose my jacket when I was flying from CT to Seattle. I have no idea as to how I managed to do it, or where/when it happened. Needless to say, I need to replace it. This is kinda a good thing since I wasn't entirely happy with it. I am looking for a simple...
