Get the look in these traditional cold-busting garments

Now that winter seems to be here to stay, keep warm in these classic winter essentials. We're not saying that your look needs to be all-out combat, but the military garms do do a terrific job of insulating your frozen existence.

Lei Feng Hat

Keep your noggin and ears warm with this number, made famous by model soldier and propaganda legend, Lei Feng. 100RMB; available in 58cm, 59cm and 60cm sizes

Full-length jacket

What this thick-lined, one-size-smothers-all army classic lacks in style and shape, it makes up for in its cocooning, warm embrace. Guaranteed to be snug as a bug in a rug. 150RMB

Boots

Yeah, nah, might as well just go full soldier with prices this good. Keep those extremity tootsies toasty – rubber soles will also act as insulators/grounders to prevent pesky static electric shocks. 376RMB; available in sizes 35-46
