Your buddy must be waiting for a hot doe . My opinion is that you dress for the weather not allyour gear will match unless you've got lot's of money,I buy a lot of my gear off e-bay and it's litterly impossible to find matching gear you either find the pant's or the coat or the shirt but none all together.I save litterly hundreds buying from e-bay not much of it match's but it work's just the same.It's definetly more important to be comfortable than to look pretty.
