Down jackets are named that way because you very rarely need to wear them on the way up. wagga, this comment cracked me up.

When I buy a down jacket, I always buy a size larger than what I normally wear because I can always hear my mother's words (God Bless Her Soul) speaking to me as if she's still alive, whispering in my ear, saying to me (as she would when I was a little girl), "Lynn, don't worry honey, you'll grow into it", and I always did, and I still always do, DARNIT!
