don't worry man, you can def out jog him...Never liked fringe at all. I would never wear it. I have to agree with Carlos and Will Zach. I seriously doubt a little strip of fringe along the arms and upper back is going to keep anyone drier. I also agree with Will, I associate fringe with women's jackets. To me, it is more of a feminine feature. (just don't tell Steven Segal I said that, and if you do, I will say Monitor said it first.)
