A slot is a position with one job in it. This site carries five of them, and one more rung that has no page here at all because nothing in this catalog fills it.
the woven piece everything else goes over
It covers, it opens at the front or it does not, and it gives every layer above it a flat surface to sit on.
It does not stop wind, it does not stop water, and nothing about it is measured.
Closed by Button-Down Shirts — 11 listings
thickness, and no weather in it at all
It adds a layer of knitted cloth between the shirt and whatever is outside, and it comes on and off without disturbing much.
It does nothing about wind, nothing about water, and it carries no rating of any kind on any listing in this catalog.
Closed by Cardigans — 12 listings
the same position as a knit, with a hood on it
It adds a layer of knitted or fleeced cloth with a hood attached, and where it zips it can be opened without being taken off.
It does not address weather. No listing that fills this slot states a water claim, a seam treatment or a temperature range.
Closed by Women's Hoodies and Men's Hoodies — 16 listings
a woven outer that stops moving air
It puts a woven cloth on the outside of the stack, which blocks moving air and holds the layers under it together.
It does not address water. Not one listing that fills this slot uses the words waterproof, water-resistant or seam taped.
Closed by Denim Jackets — 7 listings
the outermost slot: water, and nothing else
It goes over everything and addresses water. Where a listing states taped or sealed seams, it states where the water was expected to get in.
It does not add warmth. No listing in this slot claims warmth, and a shell with nothing warm under it is a shell with nothing warm under it.
Closed by Raincoats — 9 listings
no page, because there is nothing to put on one
No listing in this catalog fills the insulation slot. There is no down, no synthetic fill and no base layer among these 55 listings, and not one of them states a temperature range.
