I have someone asking me on Ebay if I will ship a boys wool coat to Russia. It is a heavy item, so I am worried about shipping. I know I will have to pay the extra for the tracking number, just so I can make sure they don't say I didn't send it. Any ideas how much this will cost to ship? I guess maybe 2lbs for the coat?


Answer
Look at USPS online calculator.

You can track even priority mail. It is best way to send parcel to the Russia.
This kind of parcels have had a tracking number and it cheaper than Express mail.
I prefer Priority to big items that I bougth at E-bay

What type of clothes should I bring to a Boy Scouts winter camp?

Im going to a winter camp for Boy Scouts and I havent been to one for a while. I dont want to wear my Jeans because I use them for school and I dont want to get them dirty. Thanks!


Answer
Jeans are made of cotton, and cotton is one of the worst fibers for cold weather as it easily absorbs moisture not only from the environment but from vapor escaping your body, which then freezes and steals body heat.

Wool is the best material for winter. A wool stocking knit cap is very important as heat travels up which means you will lose a large amount of body heat from the top of your head. So a good knit cap acts as a thermostat. Likewise wool socks, with an inner layer of a silk or polyester sock will keep your feet warm.

You can often find wool military slacks at an army navy surplus store. If not use cargo pants or Dockers and wear a good pair of insulated underwear. Some folks spray them with a waterproofing agent but beware around campfires as this coating is extremely flammable.

Dressing in layers is better than a single heavy coat. As an example I will usually have an insulated undershirt with a wool sweater and then a water proof and breathable rain jacket on top.

With shoes or boots the most important thing is fit and water repelancy.

Mittens made of a water proof shell with a wool liner are afr warmer than gloves.

Diet is also important to cold weather camping. Eat a lot of carbs and drink a lot of water. Dehydration worsens hypothermia.

Stay dry and you will likely stay warm.

What shoe and shirt color to match dark brown velvet coat?

Q. What shoe and shirt color should I match with a dark brown velvet sport coat? I'll be wearing jeans (it's casual). I have heard that the coat and the shoes must match, but the only brown shoes I have are a lighter color than the coat. I have black shoes as well.

Regarding the shirt, there's a brown shirt I like but I don't know if it's acceptable to use it with a brown coat (they are both dark). Maybe it is better to use a lighter shirt?

Thanks!


Answer
I think your brown shoes are decent. I wouldn't wear brown with black ever.

As for your shirt, I'd avoid the brown shirt because a brown jacket with a brown shirt and brown shoes is lacking in... variety.

I don't know if you're a boy or girl... if you're a girl you can go with something lighter and softer like a light pink shirt.

Boys and girls can wear a dark green olive shirt or a red (any shade) shirt.

If you don't like or don't have colorful clothes you can just stick with a basic white shirt.

good luck!
