Kuten paikalliset hyvin tiet\u00e4v\u00e4t, koko viikko on menty varsin hyisiss\u00e4 tunnelmissa. Jostain kumman syyst\u00e4 sit\u00e4 aina kes\u00e4n aikana unohtaa millaista edellisen\u00e4 talvena oli ja l\u00e4mpim\u00e4n\u00e4pysymisen joutuu aloittamaan aina alusta. Itse olen yritt\u00e4nyt kehitell\u00e4 kohtalaisen esteettisi\u00e4 ratkaisuja l\u00e4mpim\u00e4n\u00e4 pysymiseen. Toppa-asut eiv\u00e4t ole todellakaan niit\u00e4 asioita joita haluan kaappiini p\u00f6lyttym\u00e4\u00e4n (siell\u00e4 on yksi toppatakki joka on ollut k\u00e4ytt\u00e4m\u00e4tt\u00f6m\u00e4n\u00e4 viimeiset kolmisen vuotta)<\/strong><\/span>. Niinp\u00e4 jonkinlainen kerrospukeutuminen on ollut Suunnitelma A.<\/p>\n

Riitt\u00e4v\u00e4 vaatetus pakkaskeleill\u00e4 on ongelma etenkin vintage-harrastajille. Varsinkin ne jotka haluavat pukeutua mahdollisimman autenttisesti voivat olla hankalan paikan edess\u00e4. Tekniset thermotekstiilit keksittiin vasta joskus 70-luvulla ja monet vintage-harrastajat karsastavat my\u00f6s sukkahousuja. N\u00e4in jokin aika sitten lyhyen dokumentin jossa kerrottiin miten tyt\u00f6t ja naiset palelivat talvella aina ennen sukkahousujen keksimist\u00e4 ja miten housut olivat kielletyt koulussa tyt\u00f6ill\u00e4 jopa kovilla pakkasilla. Tyt\u00f6t k\u00e4yttiv\u00e4t pitk\u00e4\u00e4 aluspaitaa johon pitk\u00e4t sukat kiinnitettiin napein. Hameen alle sukan ja paidan v\u00e4liin j\u00e4i paljas ihokaistale joka aina talvella paleli. Naisilla saman asian ajoi sukkanauhaliivi ja pitk\u00e4t sukat j\u00e4tt\u00e4en kuitenkin edelleen paljaan ihokaistaleen reiteen. On my\u00f6s raportoitu nailonsukkien j\u00e4\u00e4tyneen ihoon kiinni kovilla pakkasilla. Niinp\u00e4 my\u00f6s vintageharrastajan paras vaihtoehto on turvautua pakkasella kunnon aluskerrastoon tai riitt\u00e4v\u00e4n paksuihin villasukkahousuihin paleltumien v\u00e4ltt\u00e4miseksi.<\/p>\n

Nyt kun l\u00e4mp\u00f6tila on laskenut alle 20 pakkasasteen ei pelkk\u00e4 kevyt mekko ja ohuet sukkahousut riit\u00e4 pit\u00e4m\u00e4\u00e4n l\u00e4mpim\u00e4n\u00e4. Niinp\u00e4 testasin muutamia vaihtoehtoja. Ohut alushame, paksummat sukkahousut, lyhyet villahousut ja kaksi paria villaisia pitki\u00e4 sukkia mekon alla olivat liian v\u00e4h\u00e4n. Etenkin reiden takaosaan j\u00e4i suuri kaistale joka kylmettyi parissa minuutissa. Tekokuituisen alushameen l\u00e4mp\u00f6arvo oli kutakuinkin nolla ja s\u00e4hk\u00f6istyminen hilasi sen lantiolle. Seuraavana p\u00e4iv\u00e4n\u00e4 puin saman mekon alle sukkahousut, pitk\u00e4t alushousut, pitk\u00e4t villasukat, lyhyet villahousut ja polvisukat. Olo oli paljon l\u00e4mpim\u00e4mpi mutta nuorempana palellutetut polvet olisivat kaivanneet viel\u00e4 hieman lis\u00e4l\u00e4mp\u00f6\u00e4 paksumpien pitkien villasukkien muodossa.<\/p>\n

N\u00e4in pysyt l\u00e4mpim\u00e4n\u00e4:<\/strong><\/span>
\n– \u00e4l\u00e4 karsasta pitki\u00e4 kalsareita ja villahousuja, neh\u00e4n j\u00e4\u00e4v\u00e4t muun vaatetuksen alle piiloon

\n– \u00e4l\u00e4 unohda hattua, vaikka kampaus menisikin pilalle<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Ja se t\u00e4rkein:<\/span> <\/strong><\/span>vaikka nuorempana tuntuisi kuinka tyhm\u00e4lle pukeutua l\u00e4mpim\u00e4sti ja k\u00e4ytt\u00e4\u00e4 hattua ja k\u00e4sineit\u00e4 niin uskokaa mua kun sanoin ett\u00e4 kiit\u00e4tte mua my\u00f6hemmin.

As local folks know, this week has been pretty freezing here. For some reason I always forget during summer what it was to get dressed for winter and I have to start over getting to know the staying-warm-clothes. I have tried to find reasonably nice looking solutions for staying warm. Padded modern winter wear is not my thing and not something I care to fill my wardrobe with (i have one winter coat that I haven’t used for about three years)<\/strong><\/span>. So some sort of layered clothing is my Plan A.<\/p>\n

Having enough warm clothes on freezing weather is a problem, especially for vintage lovers. And especially for those who want to keep it as authentic as possible. There wasn’t technical thermal textiles until about 70’s. And many vintage lovers overlook tights aswell. Some time ago I saw short documentary about women and girls winter clothes. Women were constantly freezing in winter before the tights were invented. Girls weren’t allowed to wear trousers in school, not even in freezing weather. Girls used long chemise where long socks were buttoned on. Under the skirt, between the socks and chemise there was area of uncovered skin which was exposed to cold. Women were using garters and long socks, still leaving same area exposed. There has been also reports about nylon socks freezing to the skin. So best option to stay warm, even for vintage lover is to go for proper long underpants or thick enough wool tights to prevent freezing.<\/p>\n

Now when the temperatures are below -20 Celcius here, light dress with one pair of tights isn’t warm enough. So I tested some options. Thin slip, thick tights, wool shorts and two pairs of long wool socks under the dress wasn’t enough. Especially at the back of the thigh was feeling very cold. Thermal value of my nylon slip was pretty much zero. Next day I was wearing same tights, longjohns (underpants)<\/strong><\/span>, wool shorts, pair of long wool socks and knee socks. I was feeling much warmer but my knees would have required little bit more warmth. I have frozen my knees when I was younger.<\/p>\n

Tips to stay warm:<\/strong><\/span>
\n– don’t overlook long underpants or wool undies, they stay under other clothes so it doesn’t matter what they look like
\n– avoid artificial material, silk, wool, other animal hair and their mix has the best thermal value
\n– use layers, it’s easy to add more layers and take them off when needed (chemise, slip, petticoat, blouse & thick long skirt, blouse & warm trousers, wool dress, cardigan, legwarmers, wrist warmers etc)<\/strong><\/span> and you can easily add more layers on those areas that need more warmth like legwarmers or cardigan, you can also wear several pairs of tights or socks together
\n– don’t forget a hat, even though it messes your hairdo<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And the most important thing:<\/span> <\/strong><\/span>when you’re younger it might feel stupid to dress warm, to use hat and gloves, but trust me you will thank me later. I have frozen my knees, my toes and my face when I was younger. Those are now the areas that will start to go cold and literarly hurt first in the freezing weather. In this cold weather it happens in couple minutes if I don’t have enough warm layers. It isn’t any fun to be wise later when I could have prevented all this just by being a bit wiser when I was younger.<\/p>\n
