830 Sign Autumn/Winter 2010 Looks


While they’re name is slightly cryptic (attributed to the designer’s fathers birthdate: 8/30), the 830 Sign collection is another casual and safe set of garments for the gents. “The inspiration for the collection came from a thoughtful walk in through the city of Verona, Italy. Inspiration, it is in the very fog that covers the city and countryside that embrace you when you wake up in the morning. It is in the moon over Verona, that is the guiding light for Romeo and Juliet’s epic love. It is in the winter blue nights, the white snow, the river mud and a brisk walk in the Roman sites, where history comes alive in the old buildings that line the streets. ”

Find Good Thermal Underwear

If this winter is anything like the last one, we should expect some extremely cold weather, and it’s essential to keep yourself warm when out and about.  One of the best ways to do this is by choosing thermal clothing, which helps to insulate your body so it doesn’t lose as much heat.  When looking for high quality ladies thermal clothes at affordable prices, Damart is well known for producing an extensive range.  The range includes both ladies and menswear with a variety of thermal ratings, making it an ideal brand to deal with all degrees of cold weather.

When trying to keep warm a lot of people make the mistake of choosing the thickest jumper or coat and wearing that, yet a more effective method is using multiple layers, which trap the warm air between them, keeping your body protected from the cold.  The first layer closest to your skin should ideally be thermal, this does not need to be a thick or heavy material, and Damart’s thermal vests and pants are ideal because they are comfortable and yet offer a high level of thermal insulation.  The following layers you choose will depend on the weather, you could wear one or two more layers on top, causing the warm air to be trapped between your clothes and the thermal wear.  You will find this is a much more efficient way of keeping warm in winter than just wearing one bulky layer.  It’s also easier to still be fashionable and stylish if you’re not so restricted in what you wear because the thermal wear is keeping you warm from beneath your clothes.

Damart offers a wide range of items that help protect against the cold, including boots that are thermally lined, coats, gloves as well as underwear.  This means your whole body can stay warm from top to toe, which is essential given the harshness of our winter weather.
