Chicago this weekend. Should I...
 
...wear my mid-calf length wool coat with only a nylon lining or my mid-hip length leather coat with Thinsulate lining? <BR><BR>Hey, a lot of other people ask stupid &quot;what should I wear&quot; questions so thought I'd throw one out there. <BR><BR>Have a happy &amp; safe Thanksgiving!<BR>

Whichever is warmer. I live in Chicago, and we already have our first snow. Not to mention the wind off of Michigan Avenue is a killer. Have fun in this great city!

The warmest ocat you have. It is VERY cold!

I would say leather, for the wind-resistance properties (although it IS nice to have something that covers one's butt...)<BR><BR>Also, it's not glam, but cover your ears! They're very vulnerable.<BR><BR>Enjoy -- it will be a nutty weekend here, with several thousand Radiologists descending on the city. Along with lots of Ioweegens in tour buses. Makes for an entertaining mix.<BR><BR>HTH,<BR>Racy

Thanks all!<BR><BR>I haven't worn the wool one in a few years and just wasn't sure how warm it would keep me in cold, windy weather. I live in Colorado and although we get low temps it just doesn't seem as cold because of the dryness here.<BR><BR>I'm now ready for a weekend of hat hair, Radiologists and Ioweegens. (haha Took me a moment with the Ioweegens at first. I thought the first letter was an L &amp; I was wondering what the heck a Loweegen was!) <BR><BR>Cheers!
