Vrstvenie alias kategorizácia typov brnenia a výstroja bojovníka so zimou druhého stupňa
I know, layering isn't exactly the most original topic. But the basics need to be repeated at regular intervals, so we're going to go over it again today. However, the term is a bit associated with women's magazines, so I suggest changing it to something more masculine. Categorizing types of armor and gear with a second-level winter warrior sounds much better to me.

Layering aka categorization of armor and gear types for a second-level winter warrior

The basis of cold weather armor is a good woolen jacket. I am very glad that even the classic Slovak manufacturer of armor, er, Alain Delon suits, has heard my pleas and perhaps the requests of other oriented men and is trying to shape the taste of the average Slovak guy by increasingly using purely natural materials in production. That is also the case with this great autumn or, as you will read below, even winter jacket.
Right after the quality material, its second biggest advantage is a very effective solution to a problem that probably comes to mind for everyone, namely whether your neck will be cold in a jacket. Although other solutions are also offered, for the typical lazy man who doesn't want to tie a scarf and a turtleneck scratches him, this jacket offers a rather interesting alternative in the form of a removable neckband. That's probably not the right name, but I really don't know what to call it. Look at the photos, you'll see for yourself.

This trick in itself provides the basis for good layering. When you put a sweater under such a jacket, a shirt under it and, if it looks like it's going to be really cold, even a T-shirt (in flesh color!), the cold has no chance of threatening you and you won't be in danger of catching a deadly cold. Add gloves that you can put in your breast pocket instead of a standard handkerchief, a smart stylish hat and you can aspire to a compliment from Rustman.
But be careful, it could easily happen that even if it looked like winter in the morning like in a Russian movie, in the afternoon the weather will change to subtropical spring and the temperature will rise by 15 °C, so that even Donald Trump would have to admit that global warming is not such a bullshit after all. In that case, you are also prepared, because what? Because you layered and didn't put a padded jacket on top of a short-sleeved T-shirt, so you won't either boil or freeze.

You know yourself, so you elegantly unzip the collar of your jacket and take off your sweater. This reveals your tie, and when you swap the gloves in your breast pocket for a handkerchief, you're good to go for a pleasant walk in the sun-drenched autumn, or for an evening drink. Don't forget to take off your hat before entering the room so you don't look like a B-list rapper inside. That's about it for today. I firmly believe that you understand what layering is all about and perhaps also that the jacket has once again proven to be one of the most versatile types of clothing. Stylish day!
