FIL is a somewhat quirky individual. While he has his strong points he can also be bossy and say offensive things.
He told me that he wanted our children to wear wool sweaters. I told him no, because you cannot even put them in the tumble drier. Then he wanted me to wear a certain type of jacket (the type ladies from his generation wear). He wanted to buy me one. I told him: no. He bought one in my size nevertheless and gave it to me as a present. WWYD?

It is wrong of him to be so bossy.
That said I would love a Barbour jacket, they go with most things and last forever

Because they're bred to have excessively wrinkly skin and produce unnatural amounts of it. It's about as ethical as pugs.

Or do you seriously think that before sheep were domesticated they were just all dying and getting infected under the weight of vast amounts of wool. Humans selectively bred them like that and its absolutely monstrous.

Also I guess all the footage of wool sheep being abused is just tomato sauce, right? Because peta lies.

And I suppose once they've outlived their usefulness they definitely don't end up in pet food.

Wow what an amazing life for a sheep. Totes humane. I stand corrected.

It's no big deal to say

Thanks for the thought fil but I'm not likely to wear it as I said before, so would you like to return it or do you want me to leave it in my wardrobe? give it away said in a jolly hockey sticks tone of voice.

Doubt ever accept his bullying but do it breezily and politely.
