Winter Garb was created by Sean Moulson (Moulson13)
So as we get closer to the cold months we all want some warmer garb. Does anyone have any suggestions on where to find patterns or ideas for good winter grab. I seem to have an issue finding good patterns or ideas for Anhîl. Thanks.

Wool is absolutely the best for both warmth and water resistance - but can be pricey. If you need to get warm on a budget, polar fleece is VERY warm (it is spun plastic) and can be found usually significantly cheaper than good quality wool.
Hope this helps

I suggest LLbeam or other polortec/polyprob base layers(
www.llbean.com/llb/shop/887?nav=ln-27&pa...-underwear-baselayer
). Underarmor's cold gear is also very good. I think wintersilks are crap, They are OK for fall and the beganing part of winter but once it drops below freezing, they're not really effective at all. They are more effective for men then they are for women as a whole also score very low on cold resistance testing done by bv. Which to me makes them unacceptable.
I also suggest buying good warm wool sock. ones designed for being outside in for cold for longer periods of time, think winter hiking/shoe boarding socks. Feet are very important and frost bite is no fun.
Please get a nice solid ig looking hat, you'll need it to stay warm.
As for costuming aim for wool, wool blend, of a fleece(which is polyester blend usually) you can get patterns at joann, simplicity.com or mccalls.com. Online they usually have really good sales. Malls was/is running an all patterns $1.44 each sale.
hope that helps.
