How to Dress for February

Yesterday: springlike. Today: also springlike. But trust us, it’s about to get colder. Much colder. Here are the clothes you’ll want for winter’s crueler second half.

FOR THE TORSO

Filson Mackinaw Cruiser

What it is: Available only at Hilton’s, this 100% virgin wool coat absorbs 30% of its weight in water without getting damp and gross. Bonus: three utility slots on the front for holding stogies. Or shotgun shells.
Use it for: Water-adjacent walks by the Financial District. Or weekend foxhunting sojourns.

FOR THE BARE FEET

Fox River Raggler Socks

What they are: Extremely warm socks that use a wool-cotton blend to help prevent wet or cold feet. They’re also fitted to shoe size, so your piggies will stay perfectly snug.
Use them for: Days you might be stepping off the curb into ankle-deep puddles, Groundhog Day–style.

FOR THE HOOCH

US Military Arctic Canteen

What it is: A double-walled, vacuum-sealed steel flask, modeled after the ones used by US soldiers from the ’60s to the ’80s. Plus: works in subzero temperatures.
Use it for: Carrying emergency whiskey when hiking through the wilds of Brookline.

FOR THE HANDS

Wood Super Thick Hand Cream

What it is: Hailing from Portland, Maine, this hand cream restores moisture to your worked phalanges. Also contains essential oils from cedar, hiba wood and grass.
Use it for: Those times when your hands are über-parched. Or when you want to smell as rugged as the Brawny guy.

FOR THE COVERED FEET

Heutchy Bergen Boots

What they are: Sleek handmade boots that use Goodyear welt construction to keep things durable and ventilated. Also: each pair is individually numbered during production.
Use them for: Stomping around the cold city streets with Shaft-esque style. Say, during a Super Bowl victory parade downtown...
