Is there another kind of outerwear?

However, I don't get cold very often..

It's the best thing in the world. When it gets cold, I just throw a Patagonia down sweater on underneath, and it's good until about -15.

No, I don't think it's a sign of hipsterism. Well, I'm not trying to be a hipster, at least.

I guess I just like sweaters.

In terms of really ridiculous things, I saved up for about one million years to buy this:

Jackets are for kitty cats.....the only jacket a real man needs in the winter is denim on the outside and plaid on the inside. It is known as the Red Deer dinner jacket.

Seconded. I have a pair of shell cordovans from Brooks Brothers. Alden makes them for BB. Great footwear.

For mildly chilly weather, I have a leather jacket I wear. For going to work when it's rather frosty or windy out, I have this coat in black:

Hugo Boss 'The Roadway'. Picked it up from Harry Rosen while they were having a spring sale - 50% off, can't complain considering it was the one I wanted anyway.

Canada Goose Chateau Parka

It's only good for keeping you warm. Not stylish or useful for sports.

Let me explain.

If you're waiting for Calgary Transit for 45 minutes at -25 in a stiff wind you'll be slightly overheated.

If you go for a walk in the evening in the same conditions you'll probably unzip it.

If you decide to go Tobogganing in it you'll go home and change.

I've shovelled snow at -25 with a tee shirt and pants wearing this coat and thought I would die.

Pretty 'stylish' coat as far as parkas go, IMO. I'd wear one.
