Like Flagmanonice mentioned, a life jacket is definitely a great thing to have when you're out on the early ice. If you're worried about warmth, there's two life jackets worth considering that I found on the Cabela's website (see the upper left corner).
What I did on the site was a search for "life jackets". The two life jackets I'm talking about are the "Mustang Survival™ Flotation Bomber Jacket" and the "Stearns® Flotation Jacket". They have long sleeves.
Definitely worth considering when you want both warmth and saftely.
The biggest thing during the ice season is not the fish you catch or even your ice house. It's safety. Bring the life jacket (I bring my summer one along since I can't afford one of the ones I mentioned).
