What Do You Think Of When You Hear Union Suit?

When you hear the word "union suit", does it bring up images of Beverly Hillbillies? Do you think about frumpy undies with the trap door hangin' open?? (see photo)

Think again! Union suits are wonderful if you live in cold climates. Union suits serve double duty as a warm layer under your clothes and as nightwear.

Where Does The Name Union Suit Come From???

Probably Not Where You Thought!

The first Union Suit was patented in 1868 as the "emancipation union under flannel" because it combined a knit flannel waist (shirt) and pants (drawers) in one. So it was a union of a shirt and underwear in one garment.

What Do You Think About Union Suits?

To some, Union Suits are old-fashioned. To others, Union Suits are a cozy way to be comfortable in the winter. Where do you stand on this highly controversial issue? Are you Pro-Union? Or Anti-Union?
