Cheap? Yeah, just pick up some long sleeved shirts at target or something for about $8 (usually cotton or cotton/poly blend..mine are "jerzees" or something) and you're proably good to go!
I rode in 35F this monring with 2 LS t-shirts (both cotton), a thin polartec vest (any cheap vest will work...thin, not the puffy kind), a pair of wrangler twill carpenter pants (love these and they're cheap), tennis shoes and pant strap, and a thin skull cap under my helmet. I also use cheap safety glasses found in the hardware store $5 to keep crap out of my eyes.
I didn't break a sweat (the key) and still unzipped the top of the vest after the first 10 miles.
The absolute best thing about wearing regular clothes is that you don't have to jump into a telephone booth to peel off your spiderman costume. Plus, I have been asked many times about how I can wear regular clothes by coworkers...which seems to intrigue them. One guy started riding because if it.
Cheers!
