winter clothing

[Dr Rick Daris]

I think I've decided on pretty much fulltime hoodie and light jackets with t-shirts under them and basically no other types of winter type shirts. the other options are just stupid/make no sense. thoughts?

[AppleJack]

I'm pretty much exclusively hoodie during the weekend. I do not like wearing coats.

[Dr Rick Daris]

cause it's basically like, why wear something really heavy if it doesn't have a hood and why wear something lighter unless it has a full zipper and the ability to take it off and wear what's underneath. I mean I'm open to hearing arguments but it seems like the upper body winter clothing industry has been bamboozling humans for years with multiple varieties of inferior products.

You've basically just given up

yeah. I mean, a winter coat? well if you live in Alaska and work outdoors for a living then yeah I guess. but from your house to a parking lot and then inside to some building. I mean come on with that. give me a break.

[Cartierfor3]

I like cardigans

what does your boss wear in the winter?

[Dr Rick Daris]

what if they are abv avg/nice hoodies and jackets?

[Dr Rick Daris]

what does your boss wear in the winter?

I kind of have a work uniform so the hoodies and jackets are just apparel I wear from my car into work and then back out into my car. also at night and on weekends though. long sleeve cotton shirts? it's like, why? shirts with buttons? I mean why not just have a bunch of tiny padlocks. it makes no sense. is the garment industry secretly in bed w/ big button?

whats so hard about putting on a coat and hat?

whats so hard about putting on a coat and hat?

hat? what is this 1945 new York? I don't think so. and a coat? I mean I'm not going outside to have a snowball fight or attack some black diamonds for the next six hours. not sure why I'd bother with all that hullabaloo.

[Cartierfor3]

The only times in my adult life I have worn a winter hat is if I'm going to be outside for a long period of time, like a football game or sledding with the kids or whatever. And it has to be below 20. I still can't get over people that wear stocking hats inside.

[Cartierfor3]

I got this jacket a few years ago:



Its thin and canvas. Perfect for midwestern living. I don't own a waterproof winter coat and will never need one. When this one wears out I'll get one of similar weight and thickness. If its really cold I just layer a cardigan underneath.

Replace hoodie with a 1/4 zip pullover and I'm on board Daris.  Add a beanie and light pair of gloves when colder.  No need for a big coat unless super cold and outside for quite awhile.

[Mrs. Gooch]

All my footwear in the winter is almost exclusively boots.

[Emo EMAW]

I guess define "winter" or whatever.  For getting from your car inside and vice versa I just use a vest.  For shoveling the driveway or being out there a long time I'll use some sort of down jacket or windstopper shell, depending on activity and base layer.

[kso_FAN]

This, pretty much everyday:




Except the hoodie is the dark gray version.

[Mrs. Gooch]

Why would you need a hoodie and a cap?

[AppleJack]

I think it's silly when I see young kids, usually middle school boys, still wearing basketball shorts in the winter.

yeah that's dumb. my nephews do that and I mock them without ceasing at holiday gatherings

[kso_FAN]

Because I like the hat.

[Asteriskhead]

i dress for the outdoor climate, so that i don't die from the cold if i happen to get stuck outside for a long period of time for some reason.

[Pete]

It has been very warm so far this year.  I like scarfs (scarves?), but they are silly in this balmy weather.

Also, I know as a 40ish old man I probably should have a more professional jacket or whatever, but don't care.
