Just get yourself a shell and layer.

I live in Michigan, and that method seems to work best for me.

Usually I keep it pretty casual. I just got this great coat by guess - regular price149.99, got it for 99.99 it was on sale.

But seriously, carhart is the shit.

Mine's brown.

Prison Wallet · « **Reply #34 on:** October 04, 2009, 07:10:23 PM »

I've got one in black but it's the synthetic shit rated for the North Pole. I wish I had gotten the traditional Carhartt cotton duck though 'cause mine's a little too stiff. Once the cotton duck breaks in it's pretty nice. I also wish mine was a size smaller; I bought it online and it ran a little bigger than I was expecting.

But buy a Carhartt jacket and you'll never need another.

yeah set for weather in california, no way in hell you'd want to be outside for more than 15 minutes in the winter with that get-up

carhart jackets aren't my thing anymore, been awhile. i realized that i have to wait another month, because my finacial situation is ... is not thaat good. but i buy myself a new hoody, i should have enough money for that.

Albatross · « **Reply #38 on:** October 04, 2009, 09:19:42 PM »

I'm from SoCal and I'm just done with my first real winter down here in Santiago de Chile, i was freezing my ass off half the winter, bought an Indy jacket and it didn't work out so fuck core points. thermal, flannel, fleece, and then the jacket.

for work i had to get different stuff, i hate winters, i hate Chile and i wanna go back home.

the north face is for fags, I'd get a Columbia jacket, if I spend another winter here I'm gonna get a Columbia jacket and some long johns because the fucking cords didn't cut it either.

I wanna do my masters in New York, so that means I better get used to this bullshit weather or I won't be able to cope.

I go for the classic, don't fuck with me, I could be homeless look.

Big Smith is a pretty good company--their shits not that expensive and its REAL warm. They can be a bit heavy but not too bad. I got mine at Lowe's i think.

Des Esseintes · « **Reply #45 on:** October 05, 2009, 08:07:44 AM »

Just a leather jacket, shirt and t-shirt.

No need to go mental on the layering 'round here.

You warm up as soon as you get in the pub anyways.

i bought a triumph bike jacket this week from a dude who got it off a movie set. i give it two weeks before i soak it in puke or spill wine on it.

thats a really sick jacket.

for me though i rotate between three jackets. a army issue jacket that is pretty warm my friend gave me a couple of years ago. a cintas mechanics jacket i got from a friend after he quit his job and a innes army looking jacket. (couldnt find pictures of any of them)

A good jacket is priceless. Its pleather though...

Brandon · « **Reply #51 on:** October 05, 2009, 04:36:51 PM »

picked up this at a thrift store for $20, throw it on top of a black thrasher hoody and i'm out the door. it retails on the internet somewhere for like $80.

or alternatively, i've got a well-worn denim jacket that looks nice on top of the same thrasher hoody. YEAH I SAID IT A DENIM FUCKING JACKET.

Mooley · « **Reply #52 on:** October 05, 2009, 04:45:53 PM »

Used as a shell, layer hoodies and sweaters underneath when necessary. It's been treating me well, but then again I'm not in Calgary anymore.

Prison Wallet · « **Reply #53 on:** October 05, 2009, 04:54:25 PM »

Whoever was asking about those Carhartt hooded jackets I think they're like $70-90 on the internet.

CeeyMar · « **Reply #54 on:** October 05, 2009, 05:40:05 PM »

got this for free from a friend, I think I'm going to put a back patch on it.

I recently bought a LOGG hoodie for 30 bucks. It's got like a soft lining so it's not too thin and pretty warm, with a checkered/flannel type pattern on it. That will last me until winter really gets going, and once that happens I want a coat just like this:

although preferably with some kind of hood.

That jacket is what you are calling a the LOGG hoodie? Because that jacket looks super comfy.

sage · « **Reply #59 on:** October 05, 2009, 07:04:09 PM »

No I don't have a picture of the hoodie, that picture I posted is a Matix jacket.
