I saw in the comments that someone was told they should never stand... I guess I am committing a huge faux pau on a regular basis. :eek:

In the autumn, the big thing will be bamboo base layers, with a two-piece retailing at about £25.

Um, say what?

Bamboo is being spun into some yummy threads. I love my jammies. :)

I was looking at the low price tag, myself. Even doubling it to $50 from 25 pounds, usually just a jersey top costs that much.

I have some bamboo socks and I hate them. They make my feet sweat like you wouldn't believe!
