We found the factory in China that makes most of the 100% Silk Knit underwear that comes to the USA. This is the soft, slinky stuff you wear next to your skin for warmth when layering. Excellent in winter for everything from skiing to sleeping, the silk has unique wicking properties that keep moisture away from your skin. Silk breathes well, and is excellent for conserving your body heat without making you hot. We are having them sewn for us with silk thread so you can dye or decorate them in any color you like without the stitching being a problem.
100 grams/meter (underwear weight) Silk Knit. Sewn with silk thread (fully dyeable).

I want the men's fit made for women! I don't know why it can't just be unisex. I find these types of products "tailored" for women just fit weird!

I previously gave an initial review and now I must update. We bought the leggings and the long sleeve. My husband really likes these. I had to make him get them off to wash them. They wash and dry just fine in the machines. The shrinkage was barely noticed. They do run longer than you might think. I will order smaller next time.

Quality is first rate. I decided to experiment with using silk long johns under a mascot walk-around costume instead of the usual unitard. I dyed the silk knit long sleeve T and matching leggings using RIT and they took the color beautifully. No loose threads not too transparent reported by the performer to be very comfortable and much cooler than the usual lycra!

Sizing needs tuning. My 6' son in law found the mediums were still long after exchanging for the large. But not so long that it wasn't workable. He's a warmer boy on his motorcycle!

These have yet to be worn so I will have to come back later.Shipping was fast. These are much thinner than I thought they would be. You can see your hand through them. They do seem to be well made however. I have washed them in the washer and hung them to dry. They say "hand wash" on the label. The description for the mens silk garments does not say hand wash only(the womens does)on the site or in the catelog. They turned out okay though. By the way the large is extremely long. We sold it to our friend who is 6'6". The arms were still slightly long at the wrist on him before washing.

I wanted a cold weather running shirt and this works very nicely. Keep in mind that I run hot I have gone trail running in near freezing temperatures while snowing and this keeps me warm. Insulates very nicely for how thin it is. Very vibrant colors with hand painting acid dye and steam setting (takes gutta nicely).This does run large. I wanted something tight and it didn't do it for me (I an 5 9 and got the M). The neck got a bit blown out. I went for the women's short sleeve shirt for warmer weather as that has the fit I want. Although I love the material and will make my own shirts out of the same silk knit in the future.

I am a woman who bought these as sleeping shirts and they are amazing. It's like sleeping with nothing on but staying warm at the same time.
