I thought it would be longer with how large it was.

I was given one of these Columbia Fleece Jackets several years ago at a convention/company retreat. I fell in love with Fleece when I got that first jacket and even though I live in Florida and only can use such a garment for a short time each year while at home, that fleece was one of my very favorites to wear.

My daughter apparently felt the same... and appropriated my favorite fleece at some point. Kids being kids, my favorite old man snuggle jacket somehow disappeared and the daughter has claimed she knows not a thing about it. Dad's being Dad's, I seemed to be content with needling her about it every year when the weather gets a little nippy.

Well, this purchase has ended that point of contention and now I can pull out the familiar old (now new) fleece Columbia Jacket whenever it gets below 60 degrees here in Florida and my daughter can live without being reminded about how she misplaced her old mans favorite garment.

- Fits like a dream, feels so good, warm and fluffy and comfy.... (Yes, men do think this way).

This would be a perfect gift for ANY DAD - believe me, once he has one, he will miss it when it goes off into daughterland somewhere...
