Brisk walking with dog in strong cold north wind: vestificular garment zipped over tee shirt and purple corduroy shirt and under leather jacket with scarf: Torso-cozy ✭✭✭✭✭. Appendages-cozy ✭✭. Overheating nil.
Firewood stacking in strong cold north wind: vestificular garment zipped over tee shirt and purple corduroy shirt and under leather jacket with scarf: Torso-cozy ✭✭✭✭✭. Appendages-cozy ✭✭✭✭. Overheating nil.
Sitting near moderately-fired wood stove typing emails: vestificular garment zipped over tee shirt and purple corduroy shirt: Torso-cozy ✭✭✭✭✭. Appendages-cozy ✭✭✭✭. Overheating nil.
Sitting near almost dead wood-stove fire still typing emails (too lazy or too economical? to add wood) Torso-cozy ✭✭✭✭✭. Appendages-cozy ✭✭✭✭. Overheating nil.
Estimate of annual wood savings facilitated by vestificular garment: 1/4 to 1/3 cord

I think that there are patterns out there for even simpler moccasins, but I don’t have any links. Good luck!

I found you through the American Chestnut Organization, by the way. You do the neatest things and share so well with others! We also live in a 450 square foot log cabin we built ourselves from oak logs, not a kit. I get excited when I see a post from you. I LOVE this suit and many other things you do. Merry Christmas!
