Would you believe that I just unstitched the pockets in my new big coat ahead of a trip out this afternoon and tested the heating this morning.

So thank you.

Seem a big coat I want a lot. £350 though :grimacing:

Did wear my coat today but still bare ankled and no jumper.

hey @bugduv

what are your opinions on jumpers, cardigans and the like?

#9

Heatings been on a couple of weeks

Thanks

#10

Not planning on carrying anything in your coat?

My reputation as an international hardman notwithstanding, I strongly believe in woolwear, and virtually all year round.

Probably own twenty wool jumpers. John Lewis ones second hand off Ebay generally.

Quickly coming round to cardigans, mainly just for pocket convenience.

You need layers, mate, no doubt about that. Why would you not want to be comfortable?

Got my big coat out today. It’s a bit warm, tbh, imo

I tried to turn the heating on in our new place a couple of weeks ago, thought I’d got it licked having figured out the boiler and the thermostat thingum, and then it turned out that none of the radiators were actually receiving any hot water and therefore it was not working. MUG. All good now though, thanks.

Note - no big coat for me yet, I’m on layers at the moment but I am in boots mode.

Heating only really goes on for the TV I’m always baking.

Hence situations like this

cardigans I like in theory, but I’ve never managed to find one that’s convinced me? willing to be swayed.

I hadn’t thought about trawling eBay for decent jumpers, that’s a huge shout. I’ve only got a rotation of five, and that’s just not enough, is it?

It’s fucking baltic today, for no reason at all. Childish weather pattern imho.

I’ve got 4 jumpers, and I’m fine.

On a related note, how many pairs of jeans are you on?

I’m kinda the same. Get cold indoors, but outdoors? I need nothing. This photo was taken atop a Lake District hilltop on New Year’s Day 2016. Needless to say, I’m the fella in the Eels t-shirt :wink:

They’re all just extremely embarrassed about how over-dressed they are.
