Thermal underwear

I wear two long sleeved silk thermal tops and matching long johns, not the silky drawers Marylin may have worn Maw 😂Cashmere jumpers, socks and a silk scarf round my neck. I have also knitted two alpaca triangular shawls to throw over my shoulders. For whatever reason, I am feeling the cold much more this winter than I ever did. Ocassionally use a heated throw of a fake fur one if I sit for long periods. Poor circulation at this age is my guess.
M&S thermals are good too, just thicker than the silk numbers.

Wouldn’t say they were terribly stylish but I recently bought a pair of quilted/puffa type trousers on EBay. Can’t recommend them highly enough for keeping legs warm all day, good in the garden too.

OR a fake fur one.

The quilted trousers.

I will say no more on the subject now!

I feel the cold especially in my hands and feet. Over the last 3 or so years I’ve bought wool jumpers (merino with cashmere). They’ve become very expensive but I’m very glad I have. I wear merino base layers now courtesy of my daughter but used to wear M&S thermals. I wear thermal tights over cord trousers. My latest find are Nordic socks. They’re very thick and warm worn under boots a half size too big. A couple of years ago I bought some fur gloves (rabbit probably) and found a long sheepskin jacket in the Red Cross shop @ £30. Finally I have two woolly hats ,beanie type plus a very soft woollen scarf.

Yesterday I was absolutely roasted when I collected the grandchildren from school.

I’d go for natural fibres all the time as I’ve finally found a way to keep warm on bitterly cold days.

Thermal tights UNDER cord trousers😬. Jeans are not warm either.

When I visited Antarctica I wore a base layer (wool, thermal) from Uniqlo and then their Heat Tech range over the top. If anything, I was too warm.

I was trying to imagine that!

I recommend Uniqlo Heatech thermals too

I will look into this Humbertbear I'd love to be too warm! Thankyou.

I have tried to buy for my husband on Uniqlo.
Never have his size. He is not not huge or small.
I looked again thus morning and the items he would wear are unavailable again.

M&S also sold out of the woolen ones

Is anyone still buying thermals please?
If so, where has still got stock?
Thank you.

In addition to thermal vests and thick fleecy tights I wear cashmere wrist warmers indoors as well as outside and they really seem to help keep me warm.
The wrist warmers are from a company called Turtle Doves and are made of recycled cashmere from jumpers etc. They also make fingerless gloves, hats, and wraps in beautiful colours.

If your budget won't run to £32 for wrist warmers, cut the feet off a pair of warm socks that have gone through at the heels, and wear the tops on your wrists. If you tuck the cut ends up your sleeves, no-one will recognise them, and if you don't care about looks, cut a small hole for your thumb to turn them into fingerless gloves. (The socks-into-fingerless-gloves wheeze is also good for keeping a white dressing clean on the back or palm of your hand - or a grandchild's)
