Also presumably not a flotation device
I got a new jacket the other day, and the care instructions included "don't get it wet" and "keep out of sunlight". No mention of feeding it after midnight, however.

Since "it's raining" and "the sun is burning me" are the only two use-cases I can think of where a jacket would be required in your city, I have to ask for more specifics regarding this not-robust-sounding garment.
"Have fun always carrying a light sweater."
Huh. I was unaware of the possibility of actual chilliness in SF Bay. My mental picture of SF is like Miami, but with less palm trees and more iPhones. The More You Know!
Contrary to popular belief, SF and LA are different places that are not actually anywhere near each other.
The Pacific is 50-60 degrees by SF year round, and every evening around 4:30 or 5, the fog rolls in. My advisor, who was at Stanford for a while, still carries a light sweater everywhere! XD
"The coldest winter I ever spent was a summer in San Francisco" - not Mark Twain
You may find yourself in San Francisco, on the north shore, walking around all afternoon in a T-shirt, because it's 72, then wander over to the west end of Golden Gate Park to watch the sun go down.
After which point it will become 47 degrees, and you will begin to fear death, and ice weasels.
It is a city where you can go to the Folsom Street Fair, and see a naked man quietly jerking off at a stall, but you can't smoke at a bar.
It's a study in contrasts.
"Ok, so, tell me again about
the hash barsnudity and lewdness at Folsom Street Fair.""Ok whatcha wanna know?"
"So, what's the policy on lewd behavior?"
"But, get a load of this, alright:"

All followed, of course, by:
"Bring out the gimp."
I bought a baseball a while back, and the packaging carried the warning, "For recreational use only."
I'm glad this bag of mixed nuts had a warning that it contains both peanuts and nuts!
Peanuts ain't tree nuts. Folks can be allergic to one and not the other.
Precision on other poster: peanuts are a legume, nuts are either a fruit or the seed of a fruit.
When you're in the supermarket, skimming through the confectionery aisle trying to find something to bring to a birthday party for an insanely allergic child, you welcome this kind of redundancy.
I'd think it prudent to shoot a silver bullet through it before wearing. Safety first!
