Reply to bifl leather boots in really small sizes? by zoarivm

Seems like you might be in Europe based on listing European sizes. Altama (https://originalfootwear.com/) seems to make boots down to men's size 4 and they ship internationally. Mostly combat boots/police boots. They make boots for the US military. They're not Goodyear welt, so you might not be able to have them resoled, but they should last for a while. When I used to wear Altama boots I had to size down a little too.

Drew's Boots makes boots down to a women's 5, which would be a men's 4. More expensive but a different style and more BIFL.

Women's Corcoran jump boots go down to size 4. They have some other styles down to a women's 4, but it seems kinda random as to what they make that small. Their factory store doesn't ship outside the US, but you should be able to find the same boots getting sold by a retailer that does.

Reply to comment by chrstphrbmlr in Not the best picture but I hope you all enjoy my 1955 Belgian army trench coat, it's warm, waterproof and really durable. bought it for only €20 too! by zoefkris

True dusters are pretty rare actually. A duster is a lightweight coat intended to be worn over clothing in dusty area to keep your clothes clean. Many coats advertised as dusters today would be either "slickers" or rain coats which are waterproof, or trenchcoats and great coats, which are designed to be warm. Dusters are neither waterproof nor warm.

Reply to BIFL Rain Resistant Midlayer Jacket by Pr0tagon1sst

Your midlayer should be insulating, outer layer/shell should be water/wind proof and then you adjust the midlayer based on how cold it is outside. A coat like the filson mackinaw cruiser is kinda both, but you can get a lighter weight shell if you want for warmer months.

If you want to stick with filson you could get one of their tin cloth jackets. Iron and Resin also have some comparable things. Semi-traditional shells, some.of which are water resistant. Triple aught design can be another option. Their stuff tends to be slightly more technical, but they have a good few options for water resistant mid layers. Their Ronin LS has a massive sale going right now.

Reply to Men’s winter boots and gloves that are somewhat stylish by hokietek

Lots of people answering the boot question. For gloves, mittens will always be warmer because they keep your fingers together and better insulated but I prefer the dexterity of gloves. I have glove liners from wsi sports (made in USA) and both lined and unlined gloves from Sullivan Glove (also made in USA). Depending on the weather and activity type, I choose whether I want lined or unlined gloves and whether I need liners.

Reply to Stanley Legendary 1,9 l, water lukewarm after less than 30 hours by Loobeensky

>Hot or cold for up to 45 hours.

Up to 45 hours. Not 45 hours guaranteed. Also can be easier to keep things cold. Also depends on the environmental conditions, the temperature of the stuff you put in there, and whether you keep opening it. Also what you consider to be "hot." To some, hot would just mean noticably above room temperature. To others it would mean too hot to drink.

Just freeze you boiled water for it's boiled for later /s
