in thinking 35 is too young for this?

[scaryjane]

So DH went shopping for 'thermal underwear' yesterday. Fair enough thinks I, it's bloomin' cold.

However, instead of coming home looking like this he has bought a 3 pack of <a class="break-all" href="http://www.google.co.uk/imgres?imgurl=britwear.co.uk/new/images/products/MT118_Mens%2520Thermal%2520Underwear%2520Sleeveless%2520Vest.jpg&imgrefurl=britwear.co.uk/new/live/products/2_Thermal%2520Underwear/2_Thermal%2520Underwear.php5%3Fsubcat%3D5&usg=__MNBHFZ5Q4Ad3m2k0wnh21EsQVpQ=&h=338&w=300&sz=11&hl=en&start=26&zoom=1&tbnid=wWawUEpIyVnzJM:&tbnh=138&tbnw=119&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dthermal%2Bunderwear%26um%3D1%26hl%3Den%26cr%3DcountryUK%257CcountryGB%26client%3Dsafari%26rls%3Den%26biw%3D1436%26bih%3D780%26tbs%3Disch:1,ctr:countryUK%257CcountryGB0%2C628&um=1&itbs=1&iact=hc&vpx=456&vpy=239&dur=2713&hovh=238&hovw=211&tx=116&ty=134&ei=j2HyTMvBIced4Qaj-JnIAQ&oei=imHyTJeOEMG1hAex7ICqCg&esq=2&page=2&ndsp=36&ved=1t:429,r:11,s:26&biw=1436&bih=780" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">these

AIBU: surely these 'old man' vests?? It's not thermals I object to, just being married to Albert Steptoe.

So we will abide by MN jury decision - should he put them away for 25 years, or should I accept I am married to an old man?

Can you get him to buy some of [[http://www.natureshop.co.nz/Catalog/Clothing/mens-wool-underwear.asp these]?

DH is considering it because he has to stand in the cold at the station and then walk to work.

but he is balking at shelling out 50? for a vest.

I recently bought some lovely silk/merino vests from Cambridge baby for my DSs and they are so warm all the time that I am tempted to get one for myself!

Sorry s-wool-underwear.asp these

GAHHHHH these

they look very nice but DH is pleased about only spending £7 on 3 at asda . . .can't see it somehow :(

My husband wears vests like that even in summer

Hilarious link scaryjane. Wish my DH would wear some thermals, he'll go out in a cardigan in the middle of a blizzard, bleating 'I'm Central European, I don't feel the cold!'

And inevitably come back sporting a bluish hue saying 'maybe I should've put on a jacket or something.'

I'd love him to wear thermals!

The t shirt type are not thermal though they are just plain cotton so the 'old man style' would be better if it is to stay warm as they are thermal
PS my pd wears long johns and long sleeved thermal t shirts not a good look

These are Asda and not as bad. Also 3 for £7

They're ok aren't they? However, he passed them over apparently because they are £7 EACH

Sorry they are £7. Why do men get like this about some stuff and then get precious about which toilet roll to buy.

You could tell him warm shoulders cost extra

Wife beaters. Wouldn't he be warmer with sleeves?

DH wears long johns when it snows, as he works outside and would literally freeze his balls off if he didn't

I did object to white ones though, he has grey or navy ones.

white is yuk. he needs proper mens thermal base layer from one outdoor type shop or another.
