Which jacket should I not get?
All of them.
I was in a hardoff in Kawasaki yesterday, looking at buying a nice cheap used ski jacket. It's cold outside.
I didn't find many I liked but I did see so many nasty examples of fashion.
Here's a selection:

One woman in particular was a frustration. The bloody cleaner. I swear she came through my shot 3 times in less than ten minutes. The store is huge. She can't possibly have covered the entire floor surface in three minutes. What's more, I'd been at the other end of the store, 5 minutes previously and she'd passed me twice then! Sweeping right where I was standing. Either she is a complete idiot with zero social skills (look who's talking/listen to who's typing), or she is an evil genius matermind who, in between plotting to destroy the world, delights in tormenting frustrated foreigners, trying to take photos of themselves wearing ridiculous ski jackets.

So, I finally managed to get a shot with the yellow jacket.

Finally, a jacket to test your camera's color balance by:
It shall be replacing the old color test, for the BBC:


But the runaway winner, ladies and gentlemen, is this masterpiece,
simply refeered to as 'Hey Boy':
Classic. I can see people furiously skiing away from me on the piste, if I go out wearing this number. At least I should have no trouble finding a spare seat at the cafeteria.

One jacket-pants combination that I did find was a great deal was this:
Seemed to be in reasonable condition. The set for only 3,500yen. Not bad. Alas, too small for my portly frame. Never mind. I know a few Canadians who may be interested.
