My Howies Merino Long Johns

I got my merino long johns from Howies last winter because… I don’t know why I did to be honest. I mostly wore them to school under my trousers which were a little thin and they kept me warm and cosy when out on the playground and in the classroom (but never too hot!).

They aren’t cheap admittedly and I must have got them in some sort of sale Howies frequently do but I only wore them once in the week before I headed off to Mauritius.

Anyway, I wanted to write about how much I love my merino wool long johns. I’ve worn them pretty much all of this week. I’ve worn them with shorts around the house, I’ve worn them when I walked to the pub for a drink, I’ve worn them to bed, I’ve worn them when running around in the snow at British Military Fitness, I’ve worn them to the shops. Yeah I’ve worn them a whole lot and they’ve been perfect. Not too hot, not too cold. Just cosy and comfortable and amazing.

Long may the cold weather continue!

1. Yes, they are the female ones. Because they are cooler and they fit fine!. 2. Even though I’ve worn them that much they still don’t smell!
