I've just heard from the insulation supplier, Clo, and frustratingly, the additional quantity eta is week commencing Feb 8th :/ They send from overseas, to UK office, then out from there (explains why postage and duty added 60% to the order...) Apologies, that means +1 week to my estimated timings.
....But! on the flip side, my brother has kindly provided x2 lovey shark shoal face coverings to go in with every order. If you're in a bigger household, DM me and let me know, no problem.

Wow, thanks! This thread is becoming more WIN every day :)

Ok I'm starting to feel regret about not joining the list

These look superb and totally agree with @monkdagola on the price and provenance.
Would love to add my name if there is a second run at any stage in the future. -

Thought I'd draw attention to a neat feature on emotional durability just posted on the Albion;
'The Most Sustainable Product Is The One You Already Own'.
I wasn't involved - but do know the author - but it resonated and straightened many things I've been contemplating recently. The responsibility these days when designing and manufacturing products is huge, and I've long held the view that it's imperative to ensure any resources used (virgin, recycled, low impact) are utilised to their maximum. You can make the 'greenest' product in the world, but if it's crap, you're doing more damage than good.
There's so many examples in bikes - ability to repair, upgrade, rejuvenate, the emotional attachment and timeless appeal - that we should apply to clothing and textiles.
Sorry, this is turning into a plug, but they post some good thought-provokers, and their newsletters / IG aren't all product promos - some beautiful photography too - so thought I'd share.

Oh, and the 2019 photography round up was fantastic. The Pan Celtic dark road, and so many wilderness landscape shots, all make me want to get out and ride.

...first recipient @GoatandTricycle picked up this afternoon! Cheers for coming over in this drizzle, wanted to invite you in :/ Hope to cross paths again, perhaps FRTHR in the Fens should restrictions allow!

Good to meet you. The burner is really great, I still can’t get over how small it packs down.
Drizzle ha. I wasn’t quite expecting the journey to turn in to a 2 hour epic ride worthy of a shoot for the product. So thanks for the patience!

Now I wish I hadn't given up my order, but in all seriousness this is really generous and kind of you! :)

Wear fewer clothes?

Buy more clothes? What!

That is the point of these. Try a longsleeve jersey, merino longsleeve base, plus burner. Has been working well for me all winter. I put a gilet in the back pocket for extra warmth.

What's the benefit of keeping your back pocket warm?

Of course, they're looking excellent I have to say. IMO, for the price you're asking and the provenance behind their production; I don't think more diminutive humans would consider it lesser value.
