Sleeping bag suit
The thing about the cold in Shanghai is that you feel absolutely cold to the bone, and like you’ll never be warm again, but it’s only about 3 degrees Celsius.
I don’t understand it, something to do with humidity, wind chill and this pesky HIV that I can’t seem to shake off no doubt.
Regardless though, I don’t think there’s ever an excuse to wear this:
It’s called the “Esteem”, ironic really because I think a sense of self-esteem is the main thing preventing most people from wearing one.
Esteem: For when you've just given up
There’s no reason to buy something like this when you can buy top notch furry pajimmyjammys like them ones H bought for me:

Love how they get a westerner to promote it so it must be good because all lao wai wear them.
Is no-one going to say
“I’d like to keep HER warm!”
?
Not my type James. Too old for a start.
And too warm as well WoAi?
Looks like it would make a good piece of kit.
i like that all the salespeople in the background are staring at you!
I’d buy it…
for camping…or getting ready for the end of the world…which might be soon…
21 December, 2012? Yeah, I suppose a sleeping bag would come in handy then, at least in the Northern Hemisphere.
Well, I don’t see anything wrong with it. I am saving to buy one myself, I am fed up of freezing every day in the streets of Shanghai. I think it is a brilliant idea to walk around, go to the offcie or attend meetings all the while staying inside your cozy duvet.
Does it come in XXL size?
That is so unbelievably awesome! I’d think all the N. Am. survivalist type stores would be carrying that, but I have never seen one. I like the scientific diagram on the poster. I wonder what all the labels say! “This part stops you from being attractive!”
