“I travel a lot for work and I pretty much always bring this Patagonia fleece with me. My wife steals it constantly so half the time it smells like her shampoo or perfume or whatever candle she had burning before I left. Probably sounds dumb but when I’m sitting in airports or stuck in another hotel somewhere it kind of feels like I brought a little bit of home with me. I’ve thought about buying a new one a hundred times but I never do.”
