Night attire should be functional rather than fashionable as fire
practices take place at night and often prove only too revealing.
Full length pyjamas and dressing gowns should be of warm materials
(e.g. brushed cotton) and flameproof or flame resistant where
possible. Warm well-fitting slippers are necessary; decorative mules
are quite ubsuitable and may be dangerous in an emergency.

1974 Iron-on name tapes are unsuitable as they wash off and fade.
