Do you stil have your Timberland leather jacket? Waterproof model. Tan? Made in Portugal? I think I saw a photo you posted of it a long time ago, noting that it is same as mine. I purchased mine in 1991, when Timberland made extraordinary stuff, instead of crap it makes now [don't be insulted, socks are pretty much all the same, except for Pantherella's and even more extraordinary ones made by Robert Talbott]. Paid about $600 for it, financed through monetization of quarters, dimes and pennies saved over the years, then put in coffee cans. When I got married in 1991, wife took all the cans full of coins to bank, got $1200 for the whole thing, let me have half (!), and I bought a wonderful leather jacket I still have and use. Good as gold, has 20 more years worth of use left, at least.
