I did investigate. I guess you climb into it through the front, because there are some buttons there.

Screaming and the resulting scratchy of wool comes later, I guess.

Howling of "Please get me out of this, it's chafing my "...." " probably comes later.

That was my first thought. Good grief you would itch in places you can't even scratch in that get-up.

If it's wool, it's going to be itchy. It looks like wool or acrylic. Cotton would be more comfortable, but still, it's like a giant infant pajama!

I could use one of those here tonight, as it will be falling into the 20s and this is in Georgia. And it would have been useful when we had two snowstorms back to back and the temperatures fell into single digits.

Please include that part. Because wool is great to keep you warm, but it's itchy in certain sensitive places.

you get to itch your butt off.

Do it yourself I get, most of the time, but not this time.

Nobody invites butt itching and this one is screaming in neon lights.

still, I would think you might want silk or at least thin cotton under that thing.

That invites butt itch so boldly that it walks in the door, eats dinner and sleeps in your bed while you are on the porch.

Butt itch isn't anything to play with if you can avoid it.

Butt itch is not.

I can't get on board, pinboy3niner, with butt itch. It is a hey-anus thing and naked skin against wool, well, you won't be counting sheep.
