If I'd known you spent that much on clothes I'd have kept hold of your socks.


I've still got a photo to post  ;) What happened to my socks? They were finest vegan cashmere you know...

Lund they're just made from denim, so may limit your Upavistha Konasana abilities

These seem OK:

Really?
Making your own clothes is not that hard, just need a brain and some patience. And a sewing machine. Having your own clothing label i.e. selling clothes for a living is not that easy.
And making a living from selling clothes that have as reduced an impact on the environment as possible is especially not that easy..

Lund was asking for alternatives and you're suggesting that he should set up his own business if he's bothered?

Surely he could just make his own if bothered is what I'm saying, he doesn't need to set up and run a successful business in order to clothe himself ethically by making his own.

I love mine! Really soft and warm. A bargain from cliffhanger.

The only downside is the arms seem to be shrinking when its been in the wash! Either that or my own arms are growing  :-\
