Whatever the consensus is. I haven't worn battle dress in ages. If the weather is pissing it down then wind proofs are advised; they're a cracking bit of kit. If it's just cold though you can't go wrong with battle dressmand a tasteful leather jerkin.
Battledress and jerkin sounds good to me, I hope it's cold enough for the balaclava too!
I have a small skewer hidden in the collar of my jumping jacket, and a razorblade in my gaiter, as well as my knife.
I'm feeling a bit Lovat,although a Balaclava is tempting.
Bonus points for anyone who rocks khaki drill, mind.
Popski's?

well last year it was bloody cold
It is always cold in January, which is great as you can load up on ridiculous warm clothing you wouldn't normally wear in a game. Last year I didn't take my gloves and balaclava off all day, but that is paper thin German stuff.
A wool shirt and BD has proved to be quite warm enough in the past, with a Denison on top turning the whole ensemble into the usual buckets of sweat experience.
