Husband Clothes

See this jacket? Do you want it? I’m not kidding. I am going to “sell” it on ebay and encourage bidders to only up the price by pennies.

Oh, that sounds dumb you say? Well, it sounds dumb, but actually it’s very smart. That’s because this pilot jacket weighs…oh, I don’t know…like 50 or 60 pounds. It will probably cost $100 to ship. Who can afford that?

I’m going to make a little list of all the things wrong with this jacket, and if you still want it after this list, I will be happy to link you to my ebay posting:

1. This jacket is so heavy that all hangers crumble under its weight. Whether they are metal, wood, or thick plastic–no matter. They all break or bend downward more and more until the jacket falls in the floor and the hanger is permanently shaped like a frowny face. I’m sick of looking for new types of hangers.
2. No one really wears pilot jackets anymore. If they do wear a pilot jacket, it doesn’t have a strange greenish gray tint like this one.
3. My husband can barely fit one arm in this thing, much less two, yet he insists on keeping it. We have therefore paid to move it 9 times. Plus it’s so thick, it takes up like a tenth of my husband’s closet space. (But the other 9/10 of his closet is things like cords and nuts and bolts he doesn’t know how to use properly, so space-wise, I’m okay with it.)

I really tried to talk my husband into giving it away the last time a charity organization did rounds here in Hollywood. Despite not having worn this thing for literally 10 years, he looked TOTALLY shocked at this idea.

I asked, “Why? Why can’t we just give this thing away? You can’t WEAR it!”

His actual response: “This thing is worth a LOT of money, Holly.” Mhm. Okay.

Uhhhhh, I guess he meant it’s worth money to the local post office, as they will profit from shipping it. haahahha. I amuse myself. But seriously, can someone please embrace me while I cry over the fact that my husband actually thinks this jacket is worth money?
