Every Man Needs a Union Suit

Once again, it's Down On the Farm (in this case, the Ranch), the ninth in my series to help us union suiters bring in the New Year. Pull on your button-down long underwear and join Luke Simons in "Back To The Basics 101." This rancher knows what he's talking about as one of the biggest union suit fans you'll ever run across.

For the utmost in warmth and comfort, this hat and boot wearing agriculturist works often outside in just his bright red union suit! This time, after breakfast on a beautiful winter day, he heads out across an inch of newly fallen snow to his woodpile clad in his, easily seen for miles, long red, one-piece underwear. He'll need the gathered wood later to build a blazing fire for a comfortable evening inside the ranch house, relaxing, like many of us do, in a union suit!

"Folks, you know, if you don't got yourself a union suit, yeah with a flap, you ain't no cowboy. These are the most wonderful inventions known to man. You will love them...nothing more natural than walking around in a union suit on your ranch."

Luke goes on to say that you’re really missing out and that you "won’t wanna take your union suit off. Wear them under your coveralls and you’ll know what I’m talking about, wear them under your clothes and it works great. You will never stay so warm and comfortable; they never bunch up, and the heat flows from your toes to your neck.....I’ve worn them for years now"  

After, collecting his wood, Luke heads to the chicken coup to gather eggs...

Union Suit Testimonials:

Luke is right when he tells his blog viewers "you're not a cowboy if you don't have yourself a union suit." Even if you're not a cowboy, you need a union suit. I have had some for years and they are the best long underwear ever. The suits are warm, comfortable and fun. You can run around in them on a ranch, farm or just about anywhere. BTW: I really like Chris Ayers Union Suit Fan blog. All you need to know about union suits and weren't afraid to ask...Tom Moss

I've worn union suits since I was a boy when I went shopping with my grandma who bought me one at Sears. Then, I was wearing long underwear like the cowboys wore. I like them so much, I started a blog nine years ago, "Union Suit Fan." ... Chris Ayers

Agree 100% ....comfortable and keep you warm. I only wear union suits, no two piece for me. I wear mostly overalls and coveralls, no binding or bunching...Trainman Paul

Growing up in Wisconsin I still have an affinity for the union suit. However, I really think I remember them being far more substantial than these t-shirt thin versions that I have today. The Carhartt one is okay, but I hate the spandex half waste thing they use instead of the flap. Today, I own three union suits and am always on the look out for someone that makes them a bit thicker....Matthew C.
