slo’s WEDNESDAY 11/9 poll - Vests (Outerwear)

[slo]

Do you wear vests (outerwear) when there’s colder temperatures?
If yes….how many do you have?
(multiple choice)

*These can be any brand, not just brands like North Face, Columbia or etc.


For Me…..I love love love my vests They are the best for when I’m running errands and I don’t want a big bulky coat on. Even if it’s 10 degrees outside, I’m wearing a nice heavy sweater or sweatshirt with a vest. The only time I won’t is if there’s rain or snow falling, then I’ll wear a coat.
Currently I have 4 vests…
*2 North Face - eggplant & goldish/yellow (awesome for the fall)
*2 generic brand from Kohls - black & white (not very warm - they need to be replaced)
There‘s a black North Face with a warm fuzzy inside that I’m hoping to get for Christmas. If I don’t get it, then I may just go out and buy it for myself

I don’t own or want any. If I’m cold enough to wear something a vest wouldn’t keep me warm. I wouldn’t want to bother with a sweatshirt and then a vest on top of that. They are just not for me. My dd bought one last year that she started wearing. My dh and son don’t own any either.

I'm too old and cold to just wear an outer vest. Definitely need a coat when the temps drop!!

I do wear "indoor" vests all the time.

 

[Meriweather]

I own none. Don't want any. I don't like them.
I use a sweatshirt (zippered front) for running errands

 

[LoveSpringsteen]

I have two, but don’t wear them often. It’s not a look I can pull off, but I love the way they look on others.

 

[scbruno]

I don't own any. Been a while since I had one. My wife has a few and rather have those on instead of a coat.

 

[WDWEPCOT]

I’m way too cold for them - never understood them - what about my poor arms ?? What’s to keep them warm ?? The three layers of clothing I wear that’s what !!!

 

[Schneewittchen37]

I think I have one that I bought about 15 years ago. It's fleece. I never wear it. I should give it to DD, I bet she'd love it. I see people doing the sweatshirt/vest thing, but I'm not sure that would work well for regulating my body temperature. I feel like my torso would be too warm.

I'm more of a fleece jacket, sweatshirt, long thick cardigan sweater type person when it's colder but not super duper cold. When it's colder, I wear my wool peacoat or long wool coat, especially to work. When it's very cold, I'm more likely to wear my Eddie Bauer Yukon parka.

 

[Moliphino]

None. If I'm cold I need full sleeves (I'm wearing a long puffer coat at my desk at work right now).

 

[Dan Murphy]

Don't have any, don't want any. For a moderately cold day I might wear a Carhartt hoodie.

 

[fla4fun]

I selected other - vest not necessarily in Florida. If it is actually cold, which happens rarely, I want a full jacket. Otherwise, a light jacket or hoodie is my go-to.

 

[PollyannaMom]

I don't wear them and currently don't have any. I used to have a white one that I really wanted to like, but I just didn't find it comfortable. I passed it on to someone who might like it better.

 

[ronandannette]

No vests for me. It’s either coat, or no coat.

 

[Wood Nymph]

I have a white Princess Leia vest that I bought in Hollywood Studios years ago. I often get CM comments on it when I wear it in WDW. I also have a navy blue vest that I bought at Uniqlo in Disney Springs that was a life saver during a cold January trip. The other vests vary between Eddie Bauer, Lands End, and others. I need them here in the Chicago area where winters can be very cold.

 

[Schneewittchen37]

I don't wear them and currently don't have any. I used to have a white one that I really wanted to like, but I just didn't find it comfortable. I passed it on to someone who might like it better.

Funny, the one I'm planning to give DD is also white. And it's floofy fleece, I think that's on trend for the tween set these days. I think I got it at Mount Rainier or something. I was cold that day.

I am with you, Slo—I love my vests. I have 4 I regularly wear—most are Land’s End. I have 2 black, 1 green and 1 navy blue. I wear them instead of a coat in all but the coldest of cold weather. I find them more comfortable when I’m going about my day—errands, carpools, work. I really dislike a big bulky coat that gets in my way getting in and out of the car and I get overheated in the car and in stores. Also, part of my job involves some work in a chilly garage. We have installed a heater that does a nice job, but it takes a while to heat up and not worth it if I’m not going to be out there at least an hour.

 

[soccerdad72]

I think I still have one in the closet, but I couldn't tell you the last time I wore a vest.

My wife just got a USB powered heated vest - she loves that.

 

[Micca]

No vest here, don't want one. I prefer not to leave the house when it's really cold. I don't have to and you can't make me!

 

[BlueStarryHat]

No, I don't own one. I'm usually going from a car right into a store or house, and I get overheated easily so I wear a hoodie over a t-shirt for all but the coldest winter days.

 

[sarahann77]

I was gifted one. I've struggled with when I could wear it. I'm with the others saying if it's cold enough to wear it, my arms would be just as cold too.
