Tag – K-Rosco, A special jacket for dog walking?<\/a><\/p>\n

A special jacket for dog walking?
\nWhen it comes to the \u201cK-Rosco Utility Jacket,\u201d custom made for dog walking, I\u2019m torn, which is something that\u2019s probably never going to happen to the jacket \u2026 what with its \u201crip-stop, wind-resistant and waterproof fabric and special seam sealing.\u201d<\/p>\n

The yuppie in me wants one. The cynical\/rational\/broke side of me \u2014 not so much.<\/p>\n

A special coat for dog walking? What could be sillier? But then I think about all the pocket shuffling I go through on the average trip to the dog park \u2014 where did I put the leash? My keys? The cell phone? The poop bags? The treats? The water bottle?<\/p>\n

Chances are, some of those are still in the other jacket back home, still hanging on the hook.<\/p>\n

My general procedure, when heading to the park with the dog, is to pick the coat that\u2019s the dirtiest and wear it, for it is only going to get dirtier. I won\u2019t mention any names, but there are dogs that like to jump up on me. Usually though, I ask for it. Once there, I forget what I have in which pocket. The only sure rule is that the item I require will be in the last pocket I search.<\/p>\n

So yes, Easter Bunny, I would probably make excellent use of the K-Rosco Utility Jacket with it\u2019s everything-in-its-place sensibility, not to mention its \u201cversatility, functionality and fashion.\u201d I would probably make use of all four jackets it converts into \u2014 one for winter, spring summer and fall.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m quite sure it would protect me from \u201dthe bitter chill of winter (full jacket), unpredictable rains of spring and fall (lightweight shell), to the heat of summer (lightweight vest) \u2014 and that its \u201creflective piping\u201d will increase my odds of getting across the street without being mowed down on those late evening excursions.<\/p>\n

After a brief learning period, I\u2019m sure I\u2019d get to the point where I would know at once to go to the specially designed cargo pocket for an extractable poop pick-up bag, to the pocket with the removable plastic pocket liner for the dog treats, and where to locate my retractable coil key clip, and mesh water bottle holder, and so on. And the time might come as well that I needed to make use of its belt, which converts into an extra leash, or can be rigged for hands-free dog walking.<\/p>\n

The dogwalker\u2019s jacket is made by Let\u2019s Go Designs, Inc. which says it is \u201cdedicated to offering products that enhance the relationship and responsibility between dog owners and their \u2018best friends.\u2019\u201d A noble cause \u2014 even if it does mean we have come to this: Not just special clothing for our dogs, but special clothing we wear when we are with our dogs.<\/p>\n

It seems absurd, on one hand. On the other, I want it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
