So tomorrow's one of those tricky days at the Meadowlands. With a feels-like temperature of 59 degrees on the shady side of the stadium, it's an opportunity to accidentally overdress or underdress. I've been to games on days like these where I'm wearing too much and am sweating or wearing too little and am freezing. The Mezzanine corners are a bit windy, and even with no gusts to speak of it can be a factor. This week I bought the Official Sideline Hot Jacket which is a windbreaker style pullover and I bought the Official Sideline Kickoff Midweight Jacket which has a fleecy lining and a hood. I'm not sure which of the two to wear. I'll have khaki's and loafers, so it's not a matter of worrying about coordination as they'll both look tasteful. Any advice? Last season the only tweener game in the high 50's was the Green Bay game and I recall wearing a hoodie and feeling chilly. SAR I
Was at my daughter's soccer game today, was about 42 degrees on the BMW's thermometer. Sitting in the sun watching the game, had to remove my North Face Mountain Light parka, was really hot. No doubt that on the sunny side you can wear a jersey with some sleeve coverage and be very comfortable. I eschewed the sun when choosing my PSL's as while the heat is a benefit for 3 home games a year it doesn't offset the glare that there for 10 home games each year. SAR I
I'm leaning towards the Lightweight Jets Hot Jacket as I know there's no chance I'll be too warm in it and if I wear a long-sleeved mock turtle under it I have the option of buying a t-shirt or another layer to add once there. It's a hard decision, harder than which NY Titans gear to wear to the Jags game. SAR I
Have you joined this forum to name drop brand names? The mods would prefer you to just click on the ads. Maybe you can do both. BTW, no fleece tomorrow. Go with the other one. If it was a 4pm start, then fleece.
James Calvin makes a good point. This is our last chance to wear a Halloween costume to a game, since we have a bye next week.
Will that go over or under your scarf? Do you know how I know you're gay? PM soxxx with your clothing attire questions, we don't usually discuss it on the Jets board.
I think you're channeling the Zubas, interesting idea. I've been looking for the Jets version of the three-piece set (above) for years with no luck. SAR I

"OTay. For today I picked for you this lovely richly colored purple top. Its not only stylish but it would keep those pretty little ham cakes of yours nice and warm."
That's the exact opposite of the advice I'm seeking as I stare at both of them longingly, not knowing which one to leave behind and which one to wear. SAR I
Good point. While also being warmer, the fleece-lined Official Sideline Kickoff Midweight Jacket also has a zippered inner pocket to secure the BMW keyfob. It can be embarrassing to have to place the keyfob on the cupholder in front of my first row seat as fans near me look at is and say "Oooh, he's got first row mezzanine seats and a BMW, damn" which makes me feel good as the Jets are losing which is sort of counter to what I should be feeling.
