Okay, so the wonders of YLF are at work.
Angie recommends the jacket. I look it up - not on the Canadian website, not allowed to order from the US. The marvellous Merwoman PMs me to check to see if they are getting it in stores.
I call the store she lives closest to. They already have it in Canada! But they don't have it at her local store. They DO have it, in my size, downtown.
Merwoman offers to go pick it up for me!!
So that jacket will be on its way for me to try very soon.
If it doesn't work, I will be able to return it on my next visit to my mother.
Cross fingers for me! And thank Angie and Merwoman!!!
