in my climate I don't ever need a jacket, but I like to draw jackets and my jackets mere a result to that, honestly few years ago I always wear my jackets daily, but that phase went away, I rarely wear jacket now, I wear vest more than I wear jacket, and one jacket I hang on the back rest of the chair in my living room is that cheap m65 cotton replica and a duck canvas vest, both are my most frequently worn outerwear. my leather jackets are just mostly sitting on their hangers now.

These two in combination with a t-shirt, hat, scarf, and gloves were good between -7 to 10 degrees Celsius during a 2-week trip - though not an entire winter. The cross zip offered lots of options: unzipped, zipped, lapels closed, collar up; and which accessories to don or not.

For me a layered leather jacket is fine down to -5c on a good day and if I'm not standing a lot outside. If there is a strong north wind then even 0c might be too cold with a leather jacket. If I'm standing still a lot then it's even worse. But overall from around 0 or -5 I'm using the chance to use my recently acquired N1 that I fell in love with. Moral of the story - temperature doesn't even tell half of the story :)

Wind chill factor counts a lot

One jacket for the winter?!?

If I leave the house more than once a day, I always wear more than one jacket in a day, whenever I get the chance. Heck, I even have a dedicated dog walking jacket.

Variety is fun.

Dog walking this far north with wind chill is brutal, No leather jacket, regardless of whatever layers you use would work.im out for hours every day,worked outdoors all my life.try take liberties on the hills and you better have a good phone signal because the helicopter is your taxi home.Unfortunately I see fatalities every year .
