Walking With Jacket Over The Shoulders On Shabbos

Wearing ones jacket over ones sleeves is not the derech to wear one’s jacket and therefore, one may not walk outside in that manner on Shabbos in a place that does not have an eiruv. Others are more lenient in this regard, but one should go in accordance with the first view stated. There is also a concern that he wind will blow the jacket off and he will come to carry the jacket in reshus harabim. One may not walk outside with a garment wrapped around the waist on Shabbos in a place that does not have an eiruv.
