Warm jeans

I wear cords and washed velvet jeans in winter, also lined wax jeans for wet and windy days. Cotton jeans and jeggings already packed away. ?

I have a pair of jeans that is a size too big - just so that I can get my nice thick leggings on underneath them.

Should say "Some of them are climbers . . . "

Every winter there are many reports of the Mountain Rescue teams being called out to walkers in difficulties in bad weather. some of climbers on sheer cliff faces, but the majority are hill walking in rugged terrain, and have been overtaken by unexpected storms and are soaked through and chilled. Very often they turn out to be wearing jeans and sneakers. Once these get wet through they take a long time to dry, and in windy conditions they draw heat away from the wearer so that they risk hypothermia.

Good winter wear is closely woven, windproof and shedding much of the water that falls on it. If it does get wet through it dries quickly from body heat.

Jeans fabric absorbs water and holds onto it (think how long jeans take to dry when washed) and they are not wind-proof. In dry still weather, they are fine, but avoid wearing them in wind and rain.

I've just bought some nice cords from Cotton Traders which are warmer than jeans

I do a lot of dog walking and find jeans are hardy when tramping through bushes and undergrowth.
But they are cold and horribly so if they get wet. I wear leggings underneath.

I am another who wears thick tights under jeans in winter.

The problem is that jeans are made from denim. They are not jeans if they aren't. Denim is not a warm facbric.

I wear cords in the winter

But it’s always cool ?

Demin is not a good fabric, it's hot in summer and cold in winter.

John Lewis thermals under my jeans in cold weather.

Lands End jeans seem to be of a much better quality denim, thicker but of curse more expensive.

I'm another who wears thin tights under jeans. I add socks when it gets colder. At present I'm not even needing the tights. Yesterday was such a lovely autumn day that I sat in the sun drinking a cup of tea.

I wear cords in the colder weather , not got them out yet

I wear warm tights or leggings under mine.

I wear thermal long johns or thin leggings under jeans and that does the trick.
