Cold weather wear: why is everything so doggone short? What's the point

of advertising a hooded cotton flannel denim coat, when the thing isn't long enough to keep your upper legs from the wind?  And we all know that a single tissuey-thin (of course) pant layer doesn't get it - even with a pair of silk or cotton long-johns underneath (if available,  that is :/  Sure, that will work just fine, south of the mason-dixon...most times.  But north of that border, january is known to howl out a chill. 

Of course, i know the answer to those questions.  The sodos - and their suck-ups - who run the clothing industry, absolutely detest their (female, especially) customers.  It's all about not-so covert hatred of the majority of people - that is, people who must actually go out into the cold, in order to get to work ... at regular jobs, in order to put food on the table, and shoes on their kids' feet.  Yep, rage against normal people, who have normal desires ... ya know, raising children.  

So, will continue to look for winter wear.  What i presently have, and worn for the past 20-some years, is nice quality - but back then, a regular working person could find real clothing, made of real fabric; clothing that had buttons - not those chinsey snaps and plastic zippers that come apart, after a few winters.  Yep, that's right, stuff should last; if it don't, there's only ONE reason: that is, reprobates ... making lots of money, while the (oriental) people making the crap, don't even get a chance to drink a cup of tepid water - after slaving away for the last four hours or so.

Anyway, unless i can find real clothing that actually protects against winter's chill, will continue to make do with the wearing-out (uhm, yeah...after 20-some years?) stuff i have.  Absolutely REFUSE to buy the shortie crap, the pervs call winter clothing.
