I've had this great peacoat for the last 5 years. Normally wear it on winter vacations to Norway, Finland, Switzerland. The rest of the year I live in Asia (so not used to cold weather anymore).
I love the jacket - but I freeze my balls off. Even with thermal long underwear (top) and a tshirt, the jacket just doesn't keep me warm enough.
It's very thick horsehide leather, great in the rain - but in very cold weather it acts more as a windbreaker than keeping in body warmth.
I can't really send it back and get a liner put in (nor would I want to). Really looking for advice on some kind of lightweight, (very small/packable) thermal shirt, lightweight jacket I can wear underneath the peacoat for very cold days.
Sweaters and zip up cotton hoodies are out as they tend to be bulky and take up 1/5 of my carry on suitcase.
Failing that - a recommendation for good thermal underwear would be appreciated. I tried Lands End and LL Bean and some silk ones from Amazon and all were miserably (bone shaking) ineffective.
Thanks much!
