Flannel Too Thin, Coat Too Much? Stop Stacking a Hoodie Under It

45 degrees at drop-off, 62 by lunch. A flannel isn't enough and a coat is too much, so you stack a hoodie underneath and end up carrying half of it around by noon.

1. Too cold for a flannel, too warm for a coat

It's 48 degrees at the 9 am game. Your flannel was fine in the kitchen and useless on the sideline. The winter coat in the car would be too much by noon.

That gap between shirt and coat is where most of fall happens, and it's why you keep stacking layers.

2. Why the hoodie-under-flannel stack works (and why it's bulky)

A thicker flannel one size up is still one layer of cotton, only baggier. A hoodie underneath helps, but it bunches at the arms and collar.

The hoodie works because it adds a soft layer that traps warm air under the flannel. The hood and the bulk come along for the ride.

3. Put the warmth in the lining

The Fireside Shacket keeps the plaid flannel on the outside and lines the body with soft sherpa fleece. Call it the lining layer: the warm layer is built in, against your chest and back, so you don't have to add one.

We're confirming with the supplier whether the sleeves are lined too, so email hello@jevityrx.com if that matters to you.

4. Buttoned at 9, open by noon

Button it up as a jacket on a cold morning, then wear it open over a tee in the grocery store instead of carrying a coat around.

Buttoned flap chest pockets hold your phone and keys.

5. Who it's not for

It comes in S/M, L/XL, 2XL and 3XL. We don't have the measurement chart yet, so if you're unsure, email hello@jevityrx.com with your usual size and we'll confirm before you order.

If you need a coat for the coldest days of January, this isn't it. It's warmer than a flannel shirt and lighter than a winter coat, and the sherpa lining is in the body.

6. Try it yourself: hand on the lining

When it arrives, open the front and lay your hand flat on the sherpa lining. Then put your hand inside the flannel you wear now. You'll feel what's been missing. Button it up and walk to the car.

Pick Red Buffalo, Camel, Green or Cream plaid. For washing, follow the care label.

Saturday at the 9 am game, it's buttoned up on the sideline. By noon it's open over your tee in the grocery store, and the hoodie stays in the drawer.
