The summer 11oz tweed has already seen some sunlight (and grey skies, too).

I don't understand how those HK boys ever wear heavy tweed in that climate. True some wear noted than others but still. I don't even get much wear outof my Donegal even in Melbourne in winter. So much so that like pop I'm thinking of getting rid of it.

My average body temperature is 34.5 degrees, almost 3 degrees lower than the average person.

That, and my tweeds are summer tweeds, and with almost no lining in the jackets, except for the sleeves.

That's interesting. I was surprised to find that Japanese people have lower body temperatures than Western/Caucasian people, but I wonder if this also extends to people from other areas of Asia?

As an example, my wife (who is Japanese) has a normal body temperature of just over 36 degrees, and my children's temperatures are similar. So when one of them runs a temp of 39 degrees, they're actually about three degrees hotter than usual, instead of two degrees.

As a result of our difference in body temperatures, my wife and I have to have separate doonas/blankets. While I'm lying in bed sweating in summer, my wife will actually change into light tracksuit pants and a long-sleeved shirt to sleep, and tells me that she'll be cold if she doesn't - whilst I look on in disbelief!

My roll neck Aran knit was also given away a few years ago. Standing out in a paddock in Bowral in the middle of winter was about the only time I ever wore the thing. I recall the label said it was made in Ardara, just up the road from Donegal, as it happens. Probably a bit of a hint as to the climate these eponymous garments were made for!
