Got Ben a down jacket today from COLD WEAR and it smells stink to me. While he was trying them on, I felt like I was with a lot of ducks in the store. *rolling eyes* But the good part is - Ben doesn't feel anything and when I complained to him a minute ago, he said,
"HONEY, you are going to wear one also!"
