So that they wouldn't really wear the long johns.

They're usually really bundled so that they wouldn't really wear the long johns.

I have learned that ... so that S can / will / could / would...is used for the meaning of a cause like "I study English hard so that I can make many friends"

And then I was wondering if so that S can / will / could...can be interpreted as a result? And the example sentence is interpreted as a cause or a result to native English speakers?

Thank you so much as usual in advance!

This sounds quite informal. Was it written or did it come from colloquial speech ?. I'm just wondering if it could be: "They're usually really bundled so , that they wouldn't really wear the long johns".

Thank you and it was from spoken English and I was wondering if you meant " ,so that. . .", right?

"They're usually really bundled in such a way, that they wouldn't really wear the long johns".

I put the gap so that you can read it more easily.
