You can buy North Face down jackets through this shopping link: https://www.google.com/search?q=egg+carton+bed&source=lnms&sa=X&ei=_2SIU-iBC8mVyATVuICIDg&ved=0CAUQ_AUoAA&biw=819&bih=512&dpr=1#q=north+face+down+jacket&tbm=shop If you want a bargain, try shopping through Ebay. And you'd get your best bargains on down jackets on Ebay from now through July. People start buying down jackets in August and by October the price will start to rise. And don't worry....you can machine wash and machine dry most down jackets. As a college student, I doubt you'll want to have to trek to the dry cleaners every time you want to clean your jacket. Good luck in college and congratulations!
