How To Look When Canvassing?

I have been wearing my white shirt with company name on it and black semi- casual trousers ete when canvassing to give a good impression. But even with two or three white t-shirts under the shirt with a logo it is freezing walking around like this in this weather at this time of year. And hands are freezing. What should I do? Just put my leather jacket on or woollen jumper and hide the white shirt with my company's logo on it and wear gloves and canvass? or wear more t-shirts? I worry if I don't wear my white shirt I won't give a good impression! Problem is it's short sleeved as well!

hmm thats good ill keep this in mind

 
U reckon just wear a hi-viz top with smart trousers and shoes should do it? Where can i buy one of those jackets? Travis Perkins? How can I get a logo on the hi Viz? Also when really cold, do you think gloves puts customers off? U dont reckon wear my casual leather jacket or wool jumper?

Gloves are fine, it's cold out there.
 
A hi viz jacket won't keep you warm, you wouldn't even feel a different, they paper thin.. Buy yourself a proper coat, regretta do some good ones, thick water proof hood.. My local embroider place does them with logo for £35..

i canvass in my normal work gear, with my boab and a cloth in my belt, people see your a windy straight away and let there guard down a little as they dont see windies as hard-push salesmen etc. seems to work for me at least. and yh if its cold il wear a black jacket over the top of everything

 
ner hi viz or ive got a fleece with company name on it doesn't really matter tbh as long as you look clean and tidy and ant got beans down the front of your top you should be ok

 
I wear a adidas coat ( what football managers wear ) sinilar to arsene wenger their long n padded /emoticons/smile.png lol
