I bought a pair of your silk longjohns last year for my husband, and he wound up giving them to me. They're actually a size too small, but I like them snug. They can really stretch. My husband wanted long underwear that wasn't thin and transparent, but that's what I like about them! They feel great under pants or a caftan. This winter, I'm buying one of your new black turtleneck style tops and - this time -**women's** long silk underwear pants to go with it. —Mrs. L. McLaughlin, Tacoma, WA

Why Buy Silk Long Underwear vs. Cotton?

• Retains heat
• Thin and lightweight

Pure silk long underwear, with 100% natural filament, provides extra warmth without adding bulk and won't feel scratchy under clothing like cotton does.

• Porous

Silk "breathes" well so you won't overheat when indoors. From EHow.com (Uses for silk):

Silk is also used for warmth to wear under skiing garments because of its remarkable ability to retain heat; paradoxically, it also is a popular summer cloth because it keeps the wearer cool in warmer weather.

• Washable

Our long silk underwear is resilient and easy to care for. Machine-wash or hand-wash in cool water. Do not use bleach.
