Do you zip it much? Are you post-holiday 10 lbs heavy like me? I think with the GW wait, and new prices, you could sell 'er good and fast and then save for the new one. But if you kept it, gave up Shepherd's pie and Titanic Wreckage for a month or so, you'll be fine lolButte - It's real tough one mate, I love the thing but zipped up it's like a glove. It is wearable when it's open, which is why I've hung onto it - the price of a new one is just a killer!
Had a couple of enquiries as to how my Ventura fits so here some pics taken the other day, one with the jacket open and two zipped up. My gut feeling has always been it's a size too small, which is why I was thinking of letting it go, but I'd appreciate any opinions. The tough thing for me is the current rate of the pound against the dollar, I just couldn't justify the cost of a new one (around £1,200 with VAT, shipping and costs) so it could be the last Ventura I ever own
