A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.

I would get it for the warmth, not the appendage measuring contest.

*After thinking about it, it's shocking how many people here think the only value of a product is the brand and not the actual product.

Are they expensive or something? Usually outerwear that has an elevated status is high quality, such as north face or Carhartt.

Very much so, they have become a status symbol for some people.

They used to be incredibly well made, I believe they still are but the draw for many people is the name and known high price tag.

Aren't they made with real fur?

They were. They used coyote fur from places where coyotes were being too invasive, but they don’t use fur anymore.
