When I asked a client of mine how he was preparing for the trials of another unpredictable winter in New York, he responded that he would be forgoing any attempt at enduring the inclement weather by fleeing to Los Angeles immediately following the first snowfall. I can't say that I blame him; the beauty of winter in new york is fleeting at best and one is quickly overcome by the reality of a five block excursion through ankle deep pools of grime blackened slush in minus eight windchill. Not all of us have the luxury afforded a bi-coastal lifestyle, however, and given that taking a winter long sabbatical isn't a likely option we must ready ourselves as best as possible. Here are a few upgrades to consider when dressing for both success and the tundra outside.

Tweed Jacket. $650.00
The "bulk" is just in the fabric; still
keep the fit slim and the lapels trim.
