Vestments

Pete's New Vest,
originally uploaded by skyring.

I do like a good vest. On days where it's not too cold, I like to put on a long sleeved shirt and a vest on top of that. I've got a couple of them, bought of ebay, but they have "Microsoft" branding, and I'm drawing away from programming and computers and stuff.

My current clothing fad is Columbia, because they make good comfortable hard-wearing gear, so I guess I've just changed one brand for another.

I know, I'll never be stylish, but I'm old enough that I aim for comfort and convenience.

Also note my England: Pride Passion Belief coffee mug, a giftie in my goodie bag from the UnCon, of which I am inordinately fond.

I love vests too! They are perfect when I want my torso warm, but don't want encumbrance on my arms.

This is why I wear a vest very similar to Skyring's new one for softball winter training. Stops me getting too frozen out in the field, leaves my arms free for throwing, catching and batting.
I also have an ace windproof down-stuffed one my sister gave me for Christmas, which I find is pretty good for winter in London - not as bulky as a big overcoat.
