Posted - Oct 05 2009 : 3:54:58 PM I fixed a broken zipper on a fleece jacket today by taking the zipper pull off the zipper pocket. Didn't really need it there. My sister was joking the " a regular person would have thrown away the fleece jacket and bought another one" So, I started to think about how long I've had aforementioned fleece jacket. 15 years!!! And it still looks good and fits so who needs a new one. Michele
