A thermos has another container indise the plastic or metal coating made of glass. This container is really like one bottle inside of another bottle and sealed at the ends by melting the edges together. The air is taken out from the space between the two bottles to produce a vacuum, which isn't a good conductor of heat and does a good job at slowing down the movement of heat. To slow down the other heat they coat the facing surfaces of the glass bottles with a silvery coating. This reflects the heat and helps slow down any losses that might get that way. They use a material like cork or rubber to make the bottle stopper and anything else that might touch the outside surface of the glass container. These materials are bad conductors of heat and slow down the heat loss. What's left is what we can see which can be metal or plastic and is the covering for the glass bottles.
The idea here (with the thermos) is to slow down the movement of heat from one place to the other. So if you have hot stuff in the thermos or cold stuff in the thermos, the end result is the same. Keep heat from moving to where you don't want it to go for as long as possible. It was invented in1892 by Sir James Dewar.
Yes, it can also keep things cold.
Long Johns for pants thermos but I dont know what the shirts are called.
A thermos will generally keep either a hot item hot or a cold item cold. you can use them for things like cold drinks, soup, hot chocolate, or pretty much any liquid you want to keep the same temperature.

A thermos is a container that will keep beverages hot.
No, a thermos uses insulation to minimize heat transfer through conduction, convection, and radiation. This helps to keep hot liquids hot and cold liquids cold by reducing the rate of heat exchange between the contents and the surrounding environment.
Utility
To keep a thermos hot, pre-heat the thermos with boiling water before adding the hot liquid. For cold beverages, pre-chill the thermos with cold water or ice cubes. Keep the lid tightly closed to maintain the temperature inside.
Put them in a thermos :D
I always bring my thermos bottle with me to keep my coffee hot on long drives.
If you look inside of a thermos you will see metal. This absorbs the heat or the cold and keeps it that way for as long as the contents are in the thermos.
