My Environmentally Friendly Clothes

The Thai students at RPI (Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute) gather around Sivaporn. Gentleman in the black jacket is recepient of the TISCO scholarship for 2006.
The shirt that I wear was designed and made in Thailand. It is "Equinox" brand.It is made of hi-tech materials that provide for great breathability and comfort. It also uses the cold-seaming process for its lining to reduce seaming bulk. I wash the shirt at night and after hanging overnight it is dry and ready to wear. Washing is by water and regular soap. No need to use detergent which may be harmful to the environment. Energy consumption for drying and ironing is zero.
The design of this shirt is perfect for traveling since it has many and correct size and location of pockets. My passport, driver's license, my cigarettes, my various glasses, my stash of cash, my wallets, etc. are well stowed in the shirt. Sad to say for you engineers who try to design a perfect thing: Equinox no longer makes this model of shirt because once sold it lasts forever. Now they are offering more fashionable designs that are not very practical and useful but sales are good.
The pants I wear are made of leather which has been milled to look like denim. The Holstein leather comes from cows bred in Japan specifically for Kushitani, the japanese manufacturer of these pants. The leather is breathable and soft. It protects from both heat and cold. It is water proof to a certain extend and a very good wind stopper. Wahing is with water and mlld soap. Dries overnight and no ironing is allowed.
The tie I wear is yellow. Yellow is the color for those who are born on Monday. H.M.King Bhumibol was born on Monday and this year and next, most Thai people wear yellow to celebrate his 60th year of reign(2006) and his 80th birthday (2007). It is also appropriate for this event because my talk is "The Engineering King".
The motive on the tie is elephants, to represent the work that I do for the Elephant Reintroduction Foundation and to represent the 3,000 or so elephants remaining in Thailand. A truly endangered species.
