    Yeah, I wasn't sure you'd like it. Just thought I'd ask. That site has things like winter parkas and sweaters as well, but they're all military surplus so they all have that look.

    In England the rule is if the person looks under 25 then they get carded, no card no sale, which is understandable.

    So its not that you don't look your age, its that you don't look 25 (if thats the law in your country).

    I always get surprised when I get carded, only because I don't typically do things that require one. Like, I bought Assassin's Creed, and I got asked for my ID 'cause it's an M rated game, and I was just like "huh?....oh...derp!"

    But I look very young, so I expect to be carded when I remember that I'm doing an activity that requires one. It's very inconsistent. I look very young, but people that know me better sometimes forget that I'm only 20 and can't legally drink. I don't know what that's about, it's not like I'm especially mature xD

    I work in a store and have to card people all the time. People seem to be amazed when they get ID'd when they hit 18. Like there's some magical change that occurs and bar staff know youre suddenly over 18.

    You're 19! It's gonna happen .

    I'm 30. If I shave, I get ID'd. I actually don't mind.

    No pictures of mine, but here's a link of a site that sells them. It describes them the same way I did, and has a picture.

    What you see there, is pretty much what mine look like.

    They also have this jacket.

    It's not quite as versatile, but it's warm and reversible. So you get a black jacket, and a bright orange jacket all in one.

    The prices on military surplus are usually reasonable, too.

    It's old advice, but just in case you've forgotten, dress in layers. So that also means buy in layers. Plan for outfits where you'll be warm out doors, but can easily remove a few items and be comfortable and not roasting in doors.

    The only other thing I can say, is that I have a few old military Field Jackets. They're called jackets, but they're coats. They're very warm, and have an extra liner that buttons inside them to make them even thicker. You can then remove the inner layer in the slightly warmer times and still be comfortable. They have a hood that zips into the collar, so you can put the hood up or if you don't need it, tuck it completely out of the way. They have lots of little pockets and zippers for storing things like gloves and chapstick. It's pretty versatile, and the material they're made from is tough.

    They are camouflage though. :P I don't know if that's your style, but if so, you might be able to find one in a thrift store. Heck, if you want I'll see how much it costs to send you one of mine. I hardly ever use them.

    :P there u already say it: your used to the climate and so ur body/mind has adjasted to it.
    here in holland we already start paniking at -8 >.< so im reeaallly not used to -20..
    Plus the Swedish cold is not the same as in Holland (they said)

    So i am one of those wrapped up students in fall!! and i just wanna make sure that i have decent clothes.. i dont wanna end up having to buy another coate becaus the one i bought isnt warm enough :O

    I'm probably not the best person to give advice since I regularly go outside in -30C weather with nothing but jeans, a t-shirt, and a leather coat to protect me from the elements.

    Looking up the average temperatures on wikipedia it doesn't seem that different from where I live. Maybe a bit colder in the summer. I'd say get a decent winter coat, hat, and gloves and you should be fine. Maybe get a scarf if you like scarves. Not sure I'd bother with ski-pants. Anyone from Sweden feel free to correct me.

    But if you happen to come from a warm climate, you may want to make sure you have plenty to bundle up in if their climate is anything like it is here in winter. When I was in University, we'd always laugh at the students from some more temperate regions of the world because they'd have winter coats on in the early fall while I was still walking around with no coat, and even wearing shorts some days. It can be a harsh adjustment to a cold climate if you aren't used to it.

    Ah, the electric, blood chilling, primal horror of mortal combat! No sensation is more striking than the that of prematurely ending the life of another creature. Did it make you feel alive? Did it make you feel evil? Do you, in some secret part of your heart, long for the chance to do it again?

    Hmm...maybe it's so like, if you get your hands wet you won't be dripping water all over the counter trying to get soap? Or maybe it's just extreme "don't get germs ANYWHERE" views haha.
