Hello: This is my first post on SF, and I look forward to benefitting from the collective wisdom of SF members.
I'm having trouble figuring out what kind of winter coat to wear over a suit for Canadian winter. I've live in Manitoba, and I've always worn parkas or peacoats depending on the temperature. However, I now need to wear suits, and a wool overcoat with scarf is simply not warm enough without a hood, a proper collar, or windproofing. Winter temps range from -15C (5F) to -45C (-49F) for six months of the year, and I walk and use public transit. I'd love to look good, but warmth is vital.
Searching SF leads me to believe that most men wear a wool/cashmere overcoat and simply suffer the cold. Is this the only option? Could I wear something like a Canada Goose parka over a suit? Or is does anyone have a better idea?
Thanks in advance!
