APPAREL:
How cool is this?
You've got to dress for the cold, but that doesn't mean you can't be cool about it. Take a fashion tip from actor John Hawkes, who wore a Cape Pond Ice T-shirt that proclaims ''The Coolest Guys Around'' in the movie ''The Perfect Storm.'' When the costume designer for ''Storm'' spotted locals wearing the snowflake-logo shirts, he knew they were the real Gloucester, says Cape Pond Ice president Scott Memhard. The company has purveyed ''pure Yankee cold'' — otherwise known as ice — to the fishing industry for 156 years, and the shirts were giveaways to customers and staff. Now you can buy your own. Wear it with pride: Cape Pond Ice has trademarked its slogan, so Memhard says, ''We are the coolest guys around — in the definite sense of the word.'' Prices for original or weathered navy blue T-shirts, sweatshirts, and caps range from $15 to $55. Cape Pond Ice company, 104 Commercial St., Gloucester; 866-766-3423 or capepondice.com.
