The Overcoat Thread

[JohnMRobie]

As a fellow Minneapolitan, I agree. No amount of wool will protect you today.

Nothing like a little arctic blast to bring all the Minneapolitans out. Related - we should revitalize the MN thread and do a SF meet up.

Better for a number of reasons. Still, though, what'd you wear under it?

A suit or sport coat, From Norman Hilton, Chipp, Southwick,etc.
I worked in tech but in those days sales/markting types usually
wore "business clothes"

You guys in the twin cities have time for a Meet-Up during ice fishing season?

I don't quite know what your standard for heavy is, but my SEH Kelly balmacaan that I got earlier this year and their hunting jacket from last year are pretty heavy (23oz-28oz). I was traveling last week where the evening temps were in the low 20s F and the balmacaan was actually very warm.

At 20° I'd consider going outside in just a heavy sweatshirt. The difference between that and -20° is REAL.
