This Is Just a Test.

I’m currently looking for a fleece jacket to wear as a midlayer when hiking in Winter, and I happened to come across a shop that sells Patagonia clothes. Although they are rather pricey, the brand has a nice reputation and I always wanted to try it on.

The jackets and shirts I tried fit nicely, but I was completely irritated by the fact that the zipper is on the wrong side! All my life, the moving part of the zipper was on the left side and I had to thread the right part into the left one – Patagonia does it the other way round.

At first I thought this is a male/female thing, so I doublechecked I’m actually in the correct department, but it seems this is just Patagonia’s style. Or even US style? I don’t know, but I’m way too “monkish” to wear the wrong zipper, so I left and I’m still looking for a fleece jacket.
