“An overcoat does not stand alone – ensure you supplement it with a wool or cashmere scarf & knit hat and insulated leather gloves.”

What??? Who wears a freaking knit cap with a coat and tie and overcoat?? You should be wearing a fedora or a Hamburg, NOT a skiing cap in winter!

I keep having a question pop into my head when I read articles like this: were the old jackets and coats from the early 1900s superior to what we have today despite all the textile engineering, or are we just wimps in the cold now?

It seems like these days, everyone sits and shivers. In old videos, people are out in a coat and a hat, without even gloves, and they’re having the time of their life. What changed?

Always carry a Handkerchief

excellent rule, and basically the first rule of galactic hitchhiking, I’ve always carried a handkerchief since my mum always packed one in pocket when I was 5. I can’t tell you the endless uses and situations where it has come in handy.

I have to say if you guys are going to buy a coat, you can get older navy pea coats very cheap, I bought an 80′s pea coat for 20 dollars perfect condition, and probably one of the best purchases I’ve made in a while! I looks great and is really warm.

@brz

Always carry a Handkerchief *and* tissues. I never use my handkerchief for my nose or such things, as they have other uses. I use the Kleenex for my nose and to offer others. I keep one Handkerchief unused (to offer to the ladies), and one gets used occasionally by myself for various things.

Great article. Well said. I have a 3/4 length overcoat that I wear in the winter. A hand-me-down from my father who can’t wear it anymore. It could use a bit of tailoring, but it does look good on me still. I wear it to work all the time. Now, if only I could find a place that sells good quality hats…

Good article! One thing to remember though, is you don’t want cotton next to your skin if you’re going to be doing physical activities or outdoor activities! Cotton will absorb the moisture of your sweat and won’t let it go like wool or synthetic will, and you will freeze! As much as I hate the cheesy saying, when it comes to the outdoors, “cotton kills.”
