I often find it very cold in winter. I tend to leave mine on if really coldAlso what would you find less/more offensive? Someone not wanting to take off their coat in your home? Or someone hinting it was cold in the hope you turned the heating up?

I also didn't necessarily mean when originally posting that I do wear a coat etc in other peoples houses , it was just a general question. I am honest and say I feel the cold and always go in extra layers and even do this in work
If I am sat at home though I tend to always keep it on rather than turn up the heating as it just costs more money
Ever keep your Coat or Jacket on Indoors when Cold? Also would you find it rude if someone else did in your house?
I keep mine on inside when necessary. I'm rarely at other people's houses but I'm not offended if guests leave their coat on. I'd rather they be comfortable. I live in the Northeast and it's 5°F right now with a -7°F wind chill. Warmth matters!
I've kept my coat on indoors but I lowered my hood. Unfortunately, it gave someone the impression I hinted to have the heater turned up. She later started complaining that her gas & electricity bills might go up. Besides apologizing for the impression I gave her, I told her I didn't mind keeping my coat on and than she can return the heater's setting back to how she normally sets it. Despite all that, she managed to squeak in a few subtle rants throughout the night. I felt awkward all night long. Thank goodness I never have any reason to see that woman again. Yet, she was weird enough to send me a friend request on Facebook which, of course, I deleted.
Would never keep my hood up of course in someones house, though I dont see an issue with keeping a coat on either like you say , would prefer to do that than have someone spend money on heating
That would certainly have made you feel awkward, quite right to delete the FB request as well
Another guest, my friend who is also a friend of the host, in that house that evening also felt cold in that house. She revealed to me the next morning that our host actually never raised the heater setting at all. My friend got a cold because she didn't put her coat back on just to avoid giving a "controversial" impression to that host.
If it's cold inside, it's jacket or blanket that you will have to use. I don't think it's rude, if the house has bad isolation or isn't heated properly you have to treat it as you do the outdoors.
I've kept my coat on when inside a public building but I wear very nice dressy vintage ones that are part of the entire look. I wouldn't do it in someone's house. It's incredibly rude in my culture to leave your jacket on in someone's house. It sends a message that you're not going to stay very long. You'll get the phrase "are ya comin' or goin', me dear?" if you keep your jacket on.
Ones clothing comfort should not be considered rude or innapropiate.. the more clothing the merrier... unless you think less clothing is better indoors?
Sometimes, it's cold in the house and the best way to stay warm is to wear a coat. If a guest/visitor does that because they're cold, that's fine... while I turn up the heat.
