<p>Thank you all for the valuable information. We really have no idea about these things in Florida. Kids wear flip-flops and shorts all year. The down jacket will go back(such a good price too), pea coat is on the way, will check it out, but it seems clear North Face is the way to go. S is noticed that label on a recent trip as well. If we get a good price on something he likes great - otherwise we will as some of you recommended have to wait to the fall. We are just so excited about next year, and trying to prepare where it might be practical. Thanks again for your friendly help.</p>

<p>Thanks for that site meredes, didn’t know that one!</p>
<p>Northface or Columbia are the two brands you need to look into. However, this is coming from someone in the Bay, so I guess I don’t really know what cold is.</p>
<p>If any of you are ner any of the Chelsea Premium Outlets </p>
<p><a href=“http://www.premiumoutlets.com/[/url]”>http://www.premiumoutlets.com/</a></p>
<p>You may be able to find a Northface Outlet store there. My Daughter purchases her coats in the middle of the summer at Woodbury Commons, and got a great discount on her coats and fleeces ( saved over $300 on her jacket fleece combination, she purchased hats for $4). It is worth looking into.</p>
<p>This is coming from a fairly fashion-conscious Michigander…</p>
<p>All the boys where I live depend on two things to get them through the winter months:</p>
<p>-Black North face fleece for the autumn and early spring months. For wearing when it is oxford/khakis weather, also (since boys seem to have no climate-sensing device) worn to smuggle short-sleeve polo shirts out of the house in December. It drives my mum and me crazy when my brother does this, as hes walking around in just a polo while we can see our breath!
-Black or charcoal heavy long wool coat, knee length. Think Brooks Brothers style (<a href=“http://www.brooksbrothers.com/IWCatProductPage.process?Merchant_Id=1&Section_Id=222&Product_Id=881587&Parent_Id=202[/url]”>http://www.brooksbrothers.com/IWCatProductPage.process?Merchant_Id=1&Section_Id=222&Product_Id=881587&Parent_Id=202</a>) but obviously can be found much, much cheaper. This is for the frigid, sweater-weather months.</p>
<p>Hope this post is of assistance. Good luck to your son in his upcoming cold climate adventure - personally, I’m looking forward to getting out of all this snow in a few weeks when we go to our FL condo, and would LOVE to attend college there. Too bad my family put their foot down since they realized I would squander four years lolling around on a beach. :)</p>
