EMS on Comm Ave can help if you want special clothing; however, I find a long silk undershirt for really cold or long periods out in the cold with everyday stuff, shirt, wool sweater, jacket will make it. A hat, scarf(muffler) gloves plus good shoes and long wool socks keep me toasty. Don't forget to put on an outer shell if it is raining or snowing. Papa Steven's weekly advise to the yungings.
