This may a be a weird question but I figured this may be the best place to ask, how do you all who live in the depths of suburbia wear longer coats like balmacaans? Even though I'm working downtown, my daily commute is from my garage to another garage. I never really step outside. It just seems like my bal although awesome, is a bit much to drive the 25 minutes into the city and then immediately take it off when I get into the office.
I thought to wear it to the park with the kids, but then I'm sticking out like a sore thumb in the middle of a sea of dads in Patagonia down sweaters... I guess I need to learn to care a little less.
I think it really depends on your personal commute and comfort level with outerwear. My commute is mostly in the car, no need for heavy outerwear when you can set the temp to 70... But, depending on where I can park, I might have a 1/4-/12 mile walk to office, so I bring plenty of layers with me.
If I was routinely going from garage to garage, and never having to leave the office for lunch or anything else, I would likely wear less outerwear.

It'll make you happier.
