I would prefer to buy in Singapore. You will have more time to shop and you do need warming clothing likely immediately out of airport. Depdnding on your arrival time, shops may be closed. I believe many Singaporeans simply go with Uniqlo which is not expensive compared to European brands. Read up online on layering. I suggest bringing moisturiser. For an idea of an Icelandic brand and its price, look up 66 degrees North.

In the cases of China, Korea and even Japan, it may be cheaper to get your winter wear at your destination. For Iceland, I doubt it. You will need something for Paris before you get there.
It is not a matter of buying a single piece of clothing per person. You need layers on the top and the bottom for sub-zero temperature.
I agree with the selections in this list: https://thehoneycombers.com/singapore/shop-winter-wear-in-singapore/

Since there are many months before your trip, you can shop online, at taobao, for instance. But you should visit a local shop to get an idea of how things fit.

The agenda of your trip is to buy winter clothing? You gonna endure the cold until you have made your purchase?

All the time spent on researching and shopping, can save you how much?

You have checked the temperature for mid Oct ya?

Good luck if you can endure 2-7 degree Celsius.

I hope the savings you save can cover your medical bills and misery from being sick on the trip.

Can afford to go Iceland but want to be stingy on warm clothing and willing to risk falling sick and not be able to enjoy the trip.

Oct will not be cheap, cheap is buying now! Winter is over and they clearing stocks for next season.
Where got sale for winter clothing now?

Dump question. Do you guys change to winter wear in the plane or after departing the plane? Not sure with indoor heating airport terminal will be cold mah. Later in t-shirt and jeans then freezing and need to search for airport toilet..

b and p are pretty far on the keyboard

toilets are everywhere in the airport. where got need to search? usually once you get out of the aerobridge, the toilet is right there already.

if it's going to be that cold in the airport, then the staff working in the airport how?
