While I agree it's a bit soon for down coats, and realize that everyone has their own personal thermostat, saying the weather for the past few days has been hot is a bit much to me. Maybe earlier in the week, it was a bit warm, but the last few days have been downright chilly.
The other day on the train, someone was wearing a down coat standing next to a girl wearing a sundress and sandals. I thought it was a pretty funny juxtaposition.

For women it is likely cold, but I think most men LOVE this weather. I won't be wearing a coat until sometime in mid to late October when it is then actually necessary. Given how miserable I am in the summer with the heat and endless humidity, I live for autumn and winter where I can walk and feel comfortable and not be constantly sweaty.
It's probably transplants from warmer climate states. In Florida, they wear jackets when it's 65 degrees out because it's "cold"
Not sure if this is a temperature related transplant thing. The same thing happens as soon as it hits 60s in the spring. I always thought it's just people who can't wait to wear their new winter cloths and in the spring its people, mostly women I notice, that can't wait to show off their boobs and azz.

I would avoid making such sex-specific comparisons or comments to avoid trouble with the PC campers.
But to refute your point, a dude sitting next to me this morning wearing a thick leather jack, a scarf and a hat, on top of a pair of glasses.
By the way, he looks asian, which made me ponder whether asian dudes are more cold-blooded...
You should thank those people for being cautious, it's the ones lightly dressed that get sick and then spread it on the public transit system.

I was in Florida during the past January blizzard we had here in NY, it was 60 degrees with sun that morning in fort lauderdale. I was in a t-shirt, the residents were in jackets and scarfs, one told me in the elevator, "your probably not from around here"...LOL

Well if the PC campers have a problem, I have no problem providing proof. Statistics show that women tend to have lower body temperatures in comparison to men as a result of having to give birth, which means they usually are the ones that are cold, but of course there are exceptions to the rule. I have female co-workers that are ALWAYS hot like myself.
When Triple Fat Goose was in style nobody, I mean nobody would have to resort to wearing three down jackets. Why would you when you have a triple fat goose?
