No way I'm wearing jeans, boots & jackets. Interesting article; doesn’t go far enough. What about women living in tropical climates with global warming? No way I’m wearing jeans, boots & jackets.

Those who live and breathe in the Greenosphere (think Portland, Seattle, San Fran, Boulder), might not know that people in Phoenix could care less whether the clothes you own have legitimate green street cred. It is human nature to make snap judgements about appearace and move on quickly to content. I think this is what Sanjayan is trying to convey here. Don't let your look distract from your message. By the way, I live in wool. Sanjayan is spot on.

In the past year it has become much easier to find "green" dress clothes - made from organically grown materials, made to last, and even made under fair labor conditions. Patagonia is a good company to start with, but if you Google "ethical fashion" you can find tons more - most is overseas still, but there are some US companies stepping up to the plate. Conservationists need to help push this trend! I would like to add that equally important to how you look is where the clothes came from.
