    My husband is also always cold. Sometimes I have to step outside to cool myself and the dogs down. I have one horse and two German shepherds. Kids are grown and gone.

    My DH is always cold as well. When we were visiting in Vermont a few years ago, a "local" was sitting outside and happy as could be….he told us he was wearing insulated overalls that had some sort of built-in heating device….he was an outside worker…..I don't know any more than that, but you might investigate looking online.

    @M5M thats a great idea! He has heavy lined pants, but something heated could help keep him comfortable.
