$500?! I don't think you'll be needing to spend that much. You won't spend anywhere near that for a Carhartt, unless you're going for oilcloth possibly. Mine is not oilcloth. It stands up to the coldest we have here in Colorado. You wouldn't need so much for Austin. When I lived there it was more the summer humid heat than the winter cold. Of course I chose to go to the BETTER school when I lived there, but I remember growing up in Austin fondly. Gig 'Em! ;-)
