So, OP.....did you order the jacket yet?
Not yet...but meeting with my therapist tomorrow to discuss thanks to this thread. Hahaha.

Well remember, sometimes a jacket is just a jacket.

Be careful - if the therapist tries to put you in a white jacket, check out exactly how the sleeves work before you agree.
It's a 5k. It hurt like hell...then I tried to pick it up. The end.
BAH! I gotta get wittier. I thought I was rather quick with the comebacks, but this forum is putting me to shame.
True dat.
After my only time running Boston - I said never again ... but my dear sister is getting very close to getting her Q time - I may break that promise and run it with her. When it happens - She will want the jacket - I will tell her to oder it ahead of time. After working 6-7 years for it - It will be very special to her.

I suggest you don't let her read this thread.
I have not read the whole thread myself
But I see 4 reasons not to get a Boston Jacket
1) The occomplishment means nothing to you (Personally)
2) You hate to draw attention to yourself
3) You feel its a waste of money - You can find much cheaper jackets
4) You hate souveners
I am sure there are more - But all 4 apply to me
I can sympathize with the majority of people that really want a Boston Jacket - For my sister it will be a joyous occassion - Year's worth of work. She is not really a look at me person - But loves souveners. There are many, many reasons to get a Boston Jacket ...
When I decide to buy stuff, it isn't because I think someone else will think its cool or not - Screw everyone - I get stuff because I want it.
You think too much about it.

You think too much about.--- I think we are straying away from the original question...not IF I should buy the jacket, that's a given. But WHEN.

If you want the jacket buy it now.

As I said in the previous thread - Unless you need something to do at the expo and like to take a chance at getting shut out - You buy it ahead of time. That's what I would advise my dear sister ... some day.
- Screw everyone -
This is how you get a 'reputation'.
I tried to date her.
She had a black, black heart.
