The British Thong Society: Thongs in Winter

Thongs in Winter

Given the extent of the cold this February, we would like to remind all members that the winter is the best time for wearing your thermal thongs.

In addition, we will be sending out advice packs to all our membership to help you during these cold months. Thong wearing in winter, while perfectly safe, does require certain precautions to prevent cold in the lower back and kidneys. If any non-member would like more advice, please send a self-addressed envelope and stamp to the Society, marking your letter 'Winter Thongs'.

Our Founder

Sir Henry Peel was one of the greatest minds of the late Victorian age. He was an explorer, discovering some of the remotest tribes of South America, and travelled widely in the East, including China and Japan where he was one of the earliest Europeans to adopt the wearing of the fundoshi.

Returning to England, Sir Henry became a philanthropist, eventually setting up The British Thong Society.

His death in 1927 was one of the widely reported events of the decade. Each year at the small family church in Knots End, Surrey, members of the British Thong Society lay a commemorative thong on his grave to mark the very great things Sir Henry achieved and our abiding loyalty to his legacy.
