Clothes for a day in the garden

Short answer: Gardening brings sweat, soil and changing temperatures. A thin layer innermost and something on top that takes soil cover most of it.

The innermost layer

You sweat, even when it is cool. A layer that moves the moisture away keeps you warm in the breaks. See bamboo vest for men.

The outer layer

The outermost layer has to take soil and branches. There sturdy workwear is better than soft jersey.

The legs

If it is cool, a thin layer under the trousers is what is missing. See bamboo long johns.

The socks

In wellies the feet get damp. See socks for wellington boots.

Soil stains

Let soil dry and brush it off before you wash. See stains on bamboo clothing.

For women

See the corresponding pieces in bamboo vest for women.

Washing

40 degrees and air drying. See the washing guide.

A change of clothes for afterwards

A clean set of clothes for after the gardening makes the rest of the day better, especially if you have been sweating. See loungewear in bamboo for men.
