Usually I'm sporting the company issued blazer, and when the leaves on the trees turn purdy colors I wear the leather jacket. But when the snow starts blowing sideways? All bets are off on outerwear.
So the leather jacket isn't as warm as the North Face? Do you wear the fleece under the leather? As long as the outer layer is compliant in front of the public, I don't think anyone will have an issue. Plenty of guys wear a skull cap when they're on the ramp in the winter.
