I primarly did the sweater thing. The Dallas area doesn't get too much wet weather in the winter so this works well for me. I have been researching the Inverness Cape thing but I haven't made up my mind on this yet.

I did have one funny thing happen last year. It was raining and I needed something so I grabbed an old duster (cowboy style) I had from many years ago. We walked into a BBQ place we occassionally go to. I took off the duster in a kilt and you would have thought the aliens had invaded! I did get some funny looks from some of the patrons...some of them had dusters also BUT blue jeans and boots to go with them.

I plan to stick with the sweaters this year whenever possible.
