It will be cold, but not below freezing.<\/p>\n<p>So what&#8217;s a guy to do in that environment?<\/p>\n<p>Well, of course &#8212; wear leather jeans, jacket, shirt, and lug-soled boots. (Though note, I&#8217;ll leave the Muir Cap at home.)<\/p>\n<p>I will wear those garments and the boots at the airport.  That will save weight for my carry-on.  I will only be there for 3 days &#8212; arrival day, party day\/night, and departure for home the next day.<\/p>\n<p>Since I will not have to dress in my customary professional meeting organizer\/facilitator style, I&#8217;ll go as I am comfortable, in my leathers.<\/p>\n<p>The party will be in the hotel where I am staying, so I probably will wear jeans and a regular shirt for that event.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.bootedmanblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Langlitzpockets01-300x177.jpg?resize=300%2C177\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"177\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-12304\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.bootedmanblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Langlitzpockets01.jpg?resize=300%2C177&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.bootedmanblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Langlitzpockets01.jpg?resize=150%2C89&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.bootedmanblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Langlitzpockets01.jpg?resize=768%2C453&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.bootedmanblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Langlitzpockets01.jpg?w=800&amp;ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.bootedmanblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Langlitzpockets01.jpg?resize=500%2C295&amp;ssl=1 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>But I will have lots of &#8220;free time&#8221; during the day on Wednesday, so I intend to go out and visit a highly regarded leather garment manufacturer that is based there.  <\/p>\n<p>So now have you figured out what city I am visiting?<\/p>\n<p>Life is short:  wear leather confidently.
