Could the traditional Japanese belly warmer become a new fashion trend worldwide? Probably not, but they could help you stay warm in the winter. The idea is that if you keep your torso warm enough, the blood flowing to the rest of your body will stay warm. Link -via Metafilter, where you’ll find more haramaki links.

He said the worst part of the war wasn't the death, the shelling, or even the mud. It was the lice. The Scots all felt sorry for the Tommys, who wore button-front trou. The Scots lads all wore kilts which made it easy to get the lice off. After all, no drawers meant easy access.
"Weren't you cold in a kilt?" I asked. "Not a bit of it," he replied. "We all wore woolen kidney warmers. If you keep your kidneys warm, you'll stay warm, and you'll never get sick."
I've never tested it but there is the testimony I heard.
Are there any veterans of the trenches still left alive?
