I've always wanted a sheepskin jerkin to wear over my mid layer. I'm a fan of waistcoats in general.

Also a big fan of gaiters but thats' not that unusual. A lot of the time waterproof trousers are OTT, most of the muck I get is on my lower legs, they're the part exposed when I have my poncho on, my legs breath better, and they also stop bugs and loose pebbles from getting into my boots.
>>
>>769132
A jerkin looks close to a double breasted waistcoat, but the problem is you have to go into the store to try it because double breasted anything (especialy waistcoats and vests) is notorious for having a slim fit. I personally really like my leather waistcoat but i have a feeling the wool one would get warm during summer

It's so hard to find one now that I just bought a fleece one instead, I've got an old body warmer that I use too, not as stylish as the Filson but it works, and I pick up a new one any time without paying out the ass for it.

I've also noticed that the prices for second hand woodworking tools and axes have gone crazy over the last five years thanks to YouTube videos.

I just got my Swanndri Bush Shirt. Basically a Medieval Tunic, 100% wool and cosy. Haven't used it /out/ yet because it's too hot but damn it looks and feels cosy. Arborist has a ranger shirt and recommends it :3


It's going to be P E R F E C T for roleplaying as a medieval archer innawoods. Don't judge.

The only thing that I don't like about it is that the sleeves are too big and boxy, but I can sew that up easily.

Arborist the Tripfag talked about this one https://www.raymears.com/Bushcraft_Product/286-Swanndri-Ranger-Wool-Bushshirt-Olive/


Don't know if they ship to the US. Ranger shirt seems better for manual working and labour in the winter, bush shirt seems better for an activity which doesn't involve too much movement (hunting, sitting round a fire, bushcrafting, chopping some wood, etc)

I've got a green bush shirt as well. I like it but it has two failings which limit its usefulness for me.
One is the hood. It works okay but it doesn't really give you visor coverage. For that one would need a hat underneath.
Sweat. I don't notice it much when I have it on: but you get very wet underneath even if it's a comfortable temperature. Maybe this is different when you're getting down to freezing point. I don't get much opportunity for that.
What I would wear under it is a running shirt, or similar, that I could hang up to dry.
Any cotton shirt will be way too wet to use again the next day.

>>772834
There are a few places doing similar things. When I got my bush shirt it was from some fishing supplies place that had it on sale at the time. You can get it a good bit cheaper than the official site that way. Also, that Ray Mears site isn't shy about overcharging people.

Yeah everything on Uncle Ray's site is super expensive. They sell Auscam hoochie tarps for 100 GBP (~200 AUD) when you can buy one here in Australia for about $40 AUD.

But yeah they're basically a blanket with a bit of stitching so I'd say definitely make your own.

My dude, I also use leg wraps. It's a bit warm for it this time of year but they are seriously underrated.
I use cotton hand wraps for boxing though. I start and end the wrap at the ankle after working up to the knee.
That way the little velcro patches line up.
I have a pair of herringbone anglo-saxon winningas I picked up online but I want to keep them looking nice.

>If you had the proper clothes already you wouldn't need this piece of clothing
You sound really silly. Did you ever notice how the veins on your forearm are pretty close to your skin? [spoiler]probably not, fatboy[/spoiler] You lose more heat through your forearms than the rest of your arm. By rights, there should be more insulation there, but instead most people wear some kind of baselayer t-shirt, which means one layer less on the forearms. You also lose warmth through your hand and wrist, which will usually be uncovered for good reasons. Wrist warmers are an easy and adjustable way to increase insulation on your forearm and hands without hindering your fine motion. They have been used throughout history by plenty of people and were issued in several european armies.
>>
>>774751

Bit of a shit joke then
>>
>>775531

Wow, I made a LARPer go buttmad

If that's what you think then you really don't understand how the human body works. Keeping your core at the right temperature is cruicial

>wrist warmers
Do you also wear leg warmers, Boy George?

>most people wear
Nope. Maybe you do, but the rest of us are dressed properly, fag.

>inbh m-m-uh ad hominems

I wear a buff over my face in summer. Not sure how unusual you would all consider it, but I get a lot of strange looks from people.

>>775531

>baselayer t-shirt

Why would you go out of your way to get those wrist warmer things instead of a proper base layer?
>>
>>775553
>>775627
The body produces heat and loses heat. Clothing is meant to reduce that loss. Sure your body will eventually restrict blood flow to preserve core temperature, but that means cold hands which is neither comfortable nor practical if you want to do anything with them.

Also, there's a very good reason to wear a t-shirt instead of a long baselayer: it's less warm. If I wear t-shirt and wristwarmers I can adjust part of the warmth without changing layers (dropping the rucksack/shell etc.). Of course there are shirts that allow rolling up the fabric at the elbow, but that becomes uncomfortable quickly. For example, t-shirt+longsleeve+wristwarmers means I can go from bare wrists (longsleeve rolled up at the elbow) to double covered wrists and half-gloves while moving. You with two longsleeves would have only half the adjustment capability and possibly still need gloves.


Also, there are leg warmers (I got some swedish army surplus), they are easier to don and drop than long johns (notice a pattern there) but I mostly find adjusting tops to be sufficient.

You really sound like a massively close minded idiot who dismisses whatever doesn't fit his preconceived notion. People who spent their life outside to work, fight and survive wore these. They had a very good reason for that.

>>775553

Once again these are IN ADDITION to proper base layers etc. They make a big difference and take up a really small space in your pack. The added heat is great for fluctuating weather conditions or other times when thermoregulation is necessary.

It just seems like extra complication for not much gain to me. I've never found myself too warm for two layers, but too cold for one.

To be fair though I am biased towards long sleeve base layers. Where I go out I either need it for the cold, or need it for the sun.

t-shirts are deprecated

for normal wear, long sleeve shirts are superior because the sleeves may be rolled up if it's warm, and the long sleeves protect from the sun

if heat is a major issue but there is no sun, sleeveless shirts are the only answer. what purpose do the dinky little sleeves have? they just get rolled up if you put a sweater or something on

I'd like to see you provide even one good reason to wear a t-shirt, you plebian

The point is that heat flows between body parts, some of which cannot be cooled by the body (like the head). Thus you need to isolate these (and, optimally, all body parts) as well.

If you are cold, the body restricts blood flow through extremeties. Except the head. Thus why you lose a lot of heat through it (despite not being "core") and insulating it will help overall heat retainment a lot.
