If you want to stay warm, layer up your garments using several thin base layers, jumpers and jackets. This way you can also easily regulate your temperature, down as well as up, as you go between overheated office, freezing hill top, chilly walk into town, warm pub, car, bike and home.
Governor Jacket worn underneath a 1485 Wool Jacket looks great and will keep you warm, buttoned up outside in the cold, as well as staying stylish when unbuttoned indoors.
177 moleskins are nice and warm and are wearable in a wide temperature range. SuperHeavyWeights are warmer. C60 cords and Governors are cooler, but not lightweight “I’m freezing in here” trousers. Moto and Chukka Boots are built to easily stand up to winter conditions. The standard British sizing is generous enough to allow thick socks and the addition of wool insoles make them super toasty.
You don’t really need a beard but it doesn’t do any harm. Like all good natural fibres the beard shields you from the sun in the summer and protects you from the sharp bite of the winter chill.
So wrap up warm and remember that if all else fails you can just walk faster to keep warm.
