The List: before
Oh
how I hate shopping. It is, of course, a good idea to do it before the
first week of
August, because you'll get a lot of cheap clearance sales
going on after the Winter.
And
as for warm clothes, I have the misfortune of living in Chennai. Over
here, most people laugh if you ask them if they have warm clothes. I
asked this shop chap for woolen socks and he showed me 'women' socks. I
explained the concept of wool and he didn't know there were socks made
out of them. If you're from the North, chances are you'll find some
places with good warm clothes.
Now, I've heard that we shouldn't
buy warm clothes from India because they're usually very bulky and are
made for the Indian weather - so that if our pesky sun decides to show
up unexpectedly, the wearer won't die of suffocation. This sounds
sensible.
I've got one good jacket, though, after much searching. I managed to find one after a lot of searching at Woodland. It's this really cool jacket that can be split into two, so it's easy to pack, looks cool, and can be used as a wind-cheater as well. And, it was on a 50% sale! I also found the best (read only) place in Chennai to buy warm clothes, Joonus Sait and Sons (all five generations of them). Chaps have been around since 1905 as their card proudly reads. Look them up.
Also, I'll be going to Cherbourg soon (that's in Normandy, where I'll be spending most of my first year) and apparently the warm clothes there are cheaper than in Paris even though there isn't so much of a range. Of course, this is all hearsay, and I'll definitely write a post about this once I get there. Keep an eye out, I'll put a link to that here when I write it.
