Plug for warm things

[pseudomonas]

http://www.universal-textiles.com/ have sent me my new warm underclothing - and a discount voucher code to pass on: friend87 that's good for 5% off for the next 90 days (no kickbacks to me or anything).

(I go on about this cos wearing thermal layers is a really painless way to reduce heating energy use without having major modifications made to one's dwelling)

How come clothing designed to keep one warm never quantifies how warm it keeps you? I mean, I know everyone's different, clothing gets layered, etc., but couldn't they come up with something similar to the Tog system used for duvets?

Hmm, I am definitely in favour of wearing thermal underwear rather than turning the heating up. But I'm not so convinced by this Universal Textiles site: for one thing I can't find any information about their business ethics or the conditions under which their clothes are made. And for a second thing they seem to be yet another sub-brand of the evil tax-avoiding Amazon. I'm trying to restrict my purchases of new clothing to companies that have at least some kind of ethical commitment. And while I'm not boycotting Amazon, I'm basically preferring to buy things anywhere that's not Amazon if I possibly can.
