ANYWAY
It's totally possible to slip your hands inside the sleeves of an outer layer and let them rest inside the stomach area of an outer kosode layer. You're essentially hugging yourself for warmth and I've found it to work pretty well.
Also, does anybody round these parts have any resources on putting together the straw cloaks? I feel that would be an awesome thing to truck around Estrella with.
Fun fact: If you have a canvas tent in Arizona in Februay, you can wake up with ice on your pillow from your breath. Just to add weight to things Makiwara has said.

Otagiri Tatsuzou made a mino using a straw beach mat and I think raffia from a grass skirt. It seemed to work well at shedding rain, but I don't know how warm it would be.

originally I was thinking about outdoor clothing. I hadn't even thought about any specific indoor winter clothing before... Not that such things should be ruled outside this conversation.
That hugging for warmth -technique reminds me of this strip of fabric wrapped around the belly. At the moment I have no idea where i read it or what was the name.
Do we know how tekkô were tied closed? I made a pair from linen one day, but I just guessed on the ties.
