Crowley is not cold all the time because he and Aziraphale are magic and the rules of physics don't apply normally to them, so he's not cold and can wear what the fuck he wants because reality conforms to his expectations. He also can see, including stuff that you can't, because those aren't actually his eyes because he's a magical occult being who exists in many other dimensions and David Tennant is just like his work uniform.
Even if he were cold he'd prooooooobaaaably use all the effortless unconscious and half-conscious magic that he uses all the time in canon [if you care for such a thing as canon!], to make it extremely stylish.
Sometimes it's really impossible to tell if someone is deliberately disregarding canon because they were more interested in an idea they had or if they watched it and just didn't catch it (which definitely happens more often than I would have thought, going by the questions Neil Gaiman answers on Tumblr). Or, of course, if they didn't read or watch at all, which also happens more often than I would have previously thought.

But yes, god, it's kind of frustrating when you can't actually tell if someone has said "fuck canon, fanon is more fun," or if they just... didn't actually parse canon that closely.
