Yeah, I'm pretty sure he got it on sale. I can't find it on their website at all, otherwise i might suggest exchanging colors. He has been into Patagonia running gear since he ran the bridge run.

The orange color is the biggest wtf. Wanna make a trade? Orange Patagonia coat for design help?

Lol. If only my services were worth as much as that coat cost.

But your services are worth more to me than I think the coat is worth.

Did he buy it for Christmas and lose it for 5 months? This is just such a bizarre choice. And I'm saying that as someone that got a heated blender for Christmas.

No, it was bought recently as the package came a couple weeks ago. I almost opened it because why would my husband buy me something from Patagonia?

It's kind of cute though that he apparently put thought into this since he ordered it weeks ago. I think my husband remembered to go buy my mother's day gift late last week. He just got lucky in that he happened to remember something I really wanted, lol.

That's an awesome idea! But he might not even notice......and it also requires having a date night or fancy evening.

@lcap
He bought the Mother's Day card the morning of......and left the receipt on the desk for me to find.

I do think it's an odd Mother's Day gift.

I've never heard of that brand, but for $150 he could have gotten you something you actually wanted or liked! Orange, for me, is such a flashy color to wear on a garment that covers so much of the body. I'm sure lots of people look adorable in it, but I'd also give my H a WTF if he randomly got me something like that.

Maybe he needs a Speedo for Father's Day?

It's not a BRIGHT orange, but its still orange.

Oooooh, I like that idea...sort of. I find speedos hideous on pretty much everyone, so do I really want to do that to myself? What other crazy things could I buy him?

Buying Patagonia when someone didn't hint at wanting a new coat, just at the start of summer, is really strange. He went higher end on such a random gift. SO weird.

Yeah, it's a weird gift. Shouldn't I be happy that it's good quality and should last a long time?

. Or maybe I should just go buy the present I really wanted.

A big cowboy belt buckle? A yoga mat? This is lovely: www.uncommongoods.com/product/marimo-moss-ball-light-bulb-aquarium

Ooohhh, a huge belt buckle could be fun. I actually like that aquarium.

Maybe I could buy him some pink sheets or something I would like since he pretty much bought something he would like.

If you end up exchanging it, I highly recommend Patagonia's dresses. Sporty, quick dryin and thick enough to glide over bulges, etc. I live in their halter dresses every summer. I have four of them (we also live 60 miles from an outlet).
