I’m pretty sure that meme is from the year I got engaged because it hit -30 (air temp not windchill) the week of our engagement party and tortured our out of town guests.That spread is WILD.
I have to admit, I wasn’t expecting to open the overcoat thread today and find references to John Quincy AdamsThx. I knew something felt off about what I used but it was too early in AM to search.
Not an Overcoat. A Frock Coat
I think a lot of wool overcoats would be greatly improved by adding a layer of thinsulate so that they have a bit more practical application. I’m finding the PS donegal (and I think this would be the same with many other wool overcoats) not warm enough even in 20-30F. If I’m going to spend around +$700 on an overcoat, I’d like to not need to switch to a parka as soon as it actually gets cold.No experience with it, but tweed is a fairly open weave cloth so it doesn't block wind that well in my experience.
Also keep in mind that winters in the UK are a lot milder than in much of the United States, so a "true winter coat" to Simon may mean something different than it means to you.
To be honest, below a certain temperature there are few overcoats that will cut it and it's time to take out your down-filled parka.
Same, I live near TD garden and my 550 gsm Harris tweed does the job over knits. I mean granted cover the head, ankles, and use scarves it’s largely fine..Lived in Boston for 7 years and 2 of those near the Charles. Rarely encountered weather colder or windier.
This is a major component. One cannot stay warm with just a big heavy coat. If you are not properly layering under and insulating the head, neck, wrists and ankles you will be or will eventually get cold.Same, I live near TD garden and my 550 gsm Harris tweed does the job over knits.

Liverano coat cost $10k. $700 seems a very reasonable amount for an overcoatI think a lot of wool overcoats would be greatly improved by adding a layer of thinsulate so that they have a bit more practical application.

I agree. I am thinking of having my tailor make a wool lining for my overcoat, so that i can use it in wider range of temperatures.I think a lot of wool overcoats would be greatly improved by adding a layer of thinsulate so that they have a bit more practical application.

Another major factor is having an air pocket i.e. an oversized fit. As air is really bad at transferring heatThis is a major component. One cannot stay warm with just a big heavy coat.
