I have a 10 years old Northface rain jacket, it still looks nice, but feels a tighter than 10 years ago (the kilos have added, didn't help either that I bought it right after losing weight from being ill). Plus, I learned that jackets lose their effectiveness against rain and cold after years of use. Hence, now I need to buy a new one, but don't really want too cause this one is a nice color they don't sell anymore and it looks nice on me. I really be on both extremes when spending money; will buy expensive perfume, but also, will drag my feet buying a new good rain jacket even when it's needed.
