THE CLO and THE TOG, defined in J.R. Mather's "Climatology: Fundamentals and Applications" [1974] as follows: "units measuring the thermal insulation value of clothing. The clo defines the insulation value of clothing that would allow a heat flow of 1 kg cal m^-2 with a temperature gradient across the fabric of 0.16 degrees C. An ordinary wool business suit has an insulation value of approximately 1 clo. The Tog also describes the thermal resistance of clothing; 1 Tog = 0.645 clo and is equivalent in insulation to light summer clothing."
