its cold outside so.....

I always keep a 'commando' sweater handy, along with scarf hat and gloves. Good thing is you can un-layer the look whenever you need to. I Use a Navy Pea Coat over any jacket I might be wearing.

Last week--mid-teens in temperature and an inch of snow. Participated in a large outside holiday fest (with assured trips inside as well). Stayed roasty toasty in a Stillwater Standard, heavy hose, boonies, commando sweater over oxford and t-shirt--wool gloves.

I actually LIKE wearing qa kilt outside in cooler weather----good thing I live in Michigan, eh?

I have a dark navy London Fog trench coat that I wear over my kilt jacket, Oxford shirt and kilt when the weather turns nippy. It can and does drop into the low to mid-thirties in parts of Contra Costa County, CA.

Mid-thirties nippy?

We had some tourists from Wisconsin here in Chicago last week when it was in the low thirties and they were walking around in their shirt-sleeves commenting on how much milder the weather was than back home. If yer spit doesn't freeze before it hits the ground it isn't nippy yet!

Um, his location is Wylie, TX, which is up around Dallas. It does get very cold there in winter. Even down here in South Texas, it was 22 degrees F at my house this morning. So yeah... "freezing", literally.

Yeah. After my post I checked the climate statistics and found it much like my neck of the woods. A little cooler and certainly drier. Funny, but I just didn't consider Texas to ever actually reach freezing. My erroneous assumptions have been shattered, and that's a good thing.

I have an army greatcoat that I wear.

Inverness Cape, Barbour Jacket, any normal jacket/coat that you use to keep warm...

I have worn a long coat over my kilt and jacket but find that laird's/day plaid actually works just as well, even at -20C (at least for this long-time Canadian prairie resident). I can wrap myself in it, and still have it fall below the knees in front, keeping all of me quite comfortable. And folks seem invariably impressed by the look...

This is what I wear.

SHOWOFF!!!

Lookin' guid as usual, Mr Newsome.

The last week in my area the morning temperatures were in the 20* F range. I wore my Stillwater tank with a polo shirt under my Woollie Pullie and was actually quite comfortable with it. If we had snow, I would have been a bit amiss with wearing just hose and wingtips.

Now to have a good chuckle at myself: Last night the Missus & I went out the zoo the see the Christmas lights. While the evening may have been warmer by nearly ten degrees, the humidity was nearly 90% as we had a rain front pass through. I left my jacket in the truck but had on esentially the same attire as previously posted. Talk about fire & ice: sweating under the kilt, freezing above it (hands, chest & face). She's still chuckling about it!

Short of an Inverness Cape or any other sort of overcoat, the real key to staying warm is to have your head covered with a nice woollen cap or bonnet.
