...and why it't not my North Face Maya.
I mentioned this on Diana's trench post, too, but I returned the Maya! So sad and frustrating, but it really, really attracted lint. Hadn't even worn it, my other blacks are fine, and in a house with three cats, I just couldn't see keeping it.
Cut to a recent post about another special trench quest. I was settled in to wait months and years for one I was sure was not a knockoff, was sure would fit, was not an 80s cut, and was affordable. I started watching one with a decent starting bid, even though I was sure it would get bid up. The seller had perfect feedback, I'd seen the style before, there were lots of online pics and stats to compare to verify authenticity. They auction end date came, I bid the lowest amount... And for the same price as the Maya, I now have a Burberry Harbourne with cotton/viscose lining and a novacheck undercollar!
It is not 100% waterproof, but it is resistant, and I have had way more foggy mornings than downpors and whale watching trips. I think this will actually serve me better. I am already getting more use, as you can see.
The rest of the outfit emerges bright and sunny, as I know the day will despite the fact that I'm stuck inside.
Wearing Una's necklace yet again!
