Several thin layers can be warmer, yet lighter, that one thick garment. Air becomes trapped between the layers and creates geothermal heat.

What is garments dye?

Garment dyeing is applying dye to a finished garment rather than making the garment from predyed yarn or fabric. The production benefits of doing this are that garments can be made in ecru (undyed form) and sent to be dyed to any colour to suit sales/fashion requirements. For instance if for example the colour navy stops selling but green sales increase, no problem just dye according to the colour trend with the shortest lead time. The problem with the predyed yarn/fabric production route is that having ordered and made too many navy garments which are not selling you then have to source green fabric or yarn to make extra green garments this gives a much longer lead time (by the time you have your green garments ready for the shops the latest trend has become red!). There is enormous potential for sourcing cheaper garment manufacturing abroad in ready to dye form and stocking this close to the actual market ready for a quick response to market colour demands.

Why are darts used in garments?

Because people are not perfectly cylindrical. A dart is essentially a fold sewn into a garment. The most common place for them to occur is below the bust in a woman's blouse, to enable the clothing to fit more snugly rather than simply hanging down loose from the bust, which is typically wider than the rest of the torso.

How do you use editorial in a sentence?

Editorial has at least two distinct meanings. 1. a written statement in a periodical which gives an opinion, rather than stating facts: The editorial told us that the editor did not think highly of the new proposal. 2. in fashion, it refers to a photograph that "tells a story" rather than sells a garment. The scarf photo with the camel was editorial, but the boxer ad helped sell out the garments.

Devout members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints wear sacred undergarments, called temple garments, as a physical symbol of their covenants with God. Members start wearing them after they have received their "endowment," a sacred temple ceremony that usually occurs when members go on proselytizing missions or get married. The garments are thin, white shorts and a t-shirt that come in a variety of fabrics. Both men and women wear them.

What does it mean by color fast?

It means that the colours do not run when you wash the garment. So in theory you could put it in with your whites and it wouldn't do any damage (but I'd still rather not).


You wear a number of garments in winter rather than one thick garment?

Yes. This allows you to peel off layers as you excercise or as the weather warms up. The classic layering used in mountaineering and outdoor exposure situations is a full length polypropalene undergarment to wick sweat away from your body, 1 or more layers of fuzzt stuff that insulates (more than 1 layer will trap air in between for even more insulation), and an outer shell that acts as a windbreaker and perhaps waterproof. The best outer shells seem to be GoreTex, in that they are water and airproof going in, but let moisture wick out.


What do you tell someone if they say something bad if you are wearing a jacket with fur in the hood?

just ignore it- you can wear whatever you want!! If it really bothers you you can always buy a new coat or some of those types of coats have removable hoods- you could take it off.... If they say something again just tell them that you wear it because you want to/like it and it has nothing to do with them as they aren't the ones wearing the garment. :) Of course rather than get into an argument the best thing to do is tell someone else who can sort it out reasonably- preferably someone older :)
