W is the working-wardrobe letter, and the cold-weather letter. Its largest family is wool: five of its fourteen guides are wool garments, gloves, hats, scarves, socks and sweaters, and they share a common foundation, since each one explains why wool insulates, breathes and wicks moisture, then applies those fiber facts to a different part of the body. Read as a set, the wool guides make a complete winter kit, hands, head, neck, feet and torso, and each one compares the same roster of wools, merino for softness, lambswool for everyday warmth, cashmere for luxury, and alpaca for deep cold.
Around the wool family sit the letter's weather and work guides. Wellington boots and fishing waders are the waterproof pair, one for wet and muddy ground, the other for standing in the water itself. Windbreakers and winter coats divide outerwear by weight, the light packable shell against the insulated coat built for frigid temperatures. Work boots close the practical side of the letter, protective footwear with reinforced toes and thick treaded soles for labor-intensive and hazardous workplaces.
The remaining W guides cover the dressed-up and carried side of fashion. Wedding dresses are the letter's ceremonial garment, with their color traditions, white in Western cultures since Queen Victoria and red for auspiciousness in many Eastern cultures. Wedge shoes build height into a single wedge-shaped sole, the wrap dress wraps and ties at the waist in the design Diane von Furstenberg made famous in 1974, and wallets are the letter's one small leather good, the flat folding case for money, cards and identification. Every guide named here is linked in the chip list above.

Wool is a whole cold-weather family in this letter: gloves, hats, scarves, socks and sweaters each have their own guide, covering the types of wool used, from merino and lambswool to cashmere and alpaca, and how each garment uses the fiber.
