It's August 5th: National Underwear Day!

Here's a few new and familiar faces, fans of Union Suit Fan, celebrating this special day decked out in their favorite underwear. 

Union Suits! 

 

 

Some guys have to work today while the rest of you relax, celebrate, and hang out in your union suits! 

A special thanks to you participants who especially braved the hot weather where you reside

 to happily don your long one piece underwear for National Underwear Day!

What troopers, you are!

Tomorrow is National Underwear Day: August 5th!

It's not to late to email me your favorite underwear photo. 

But, remember this reminder, Union Suit Fan needs you in a Union Suit; not a pair of red heart Boxer Shorts! 

No clowning around for tomorrow's posting! 

I have no dog in this fight but, come on, 

this is a Union Suit Blog (since 2016)! 

In the meantime:

Check out this week's Union Suit Fans in the Limelight blog to to find out why Bob Hope is running around the hallway in his his long-handled, monogramed union suit!

Unison in Union Suits 

One of the great pleasures I get in posting to my Union Suit Fan blog is when I hear from those of you who tell of your stories, accompanied by photos that allow me to pass on adventures others are having to you. And so, it was this past week when I received notice that RC and Stanley Steamer met at Stanley's home in the beautiful Georgia mountains for coffee and comraderie. 

The boys joined each other for coffee in the summit morning mist wearing what they wore to bed, their red union suits. Yes, it apparently was cool enough in the deep south in July to be clad in their long red underwear! Hard to believe but here's proof in pictures, and neither guy appears to be sweating.

Steamer checks his smart phone while RC takes a stroll, enjoying his cup of joe. 

 

You've seen these two over the years in previous postings. The first time with RC wearing only his union suit while Stanley posed in his PJ's. Photo courtesy of RC's wife.  Since 2018, their posting has been viewed by Union Suit Fans 209,000 times. Not bad for a couple of pals relaxing and downing a few beers.

Here's that posting...back then, RC emailed the following to Union Suit Fan and included the above photo:  

"Last year, good friends of my wife and mine came to visit for a week. Later in the evening the first night, we decided to play a board game. The wives and my buddy changed into their pj's. Since I don't own any pajamas, I changed and came walking out in one of my bright red union suits which I wear to bed. It was as if it were the most appropriate attire one would wear. 

The reaction was priceless. The group broke out into laughter and thought I looked great in that long underwear. For the next couple of hours, we played games and drank beer while they comfortably sat there in their pj's and I in my union suit.

The next year, my buddy was the first one up in the morning for breakfast and coffee. He was wearing a new red union suit.

Ever since then, when we get together, you can bet my buddy and I enjoy our morning coffee or play board games and cards looking ridiculous but satisfied in our union suits. We love it and so do our devoted wives." 

Other times, these two and their wives have enjoyed each other's company miles apart as they live in different parts of the USA. But miles can't keep good pals apart for long, especially union suit fans. Thanks, guys, for participating pals in Union Suit Fan! ....Chris 

They've Got a Ticket to Ri-ide!         

Paul and Tim, railroader buddies, together again in their red Union Suit Underwear... 

Literally days after I received reunion photos from Stanley Steamer and RC in the Mountains of Georgia, I heard from Paul of rural central Oklahoma about his "reunion" with Tim in the mountains of Colorado. He told me that he and Tim, who still lives in Kansas where both of them grew up, have known each other for about five years. They decided to meet in Durango, Colorado in May of 2024 to ride the Durango and Silverton Narrow Guage Railroad. Quite fitting for two 'railroad men" who "volunteer on tourist railroads," don't you think? These two union suit fans had a great weekend together, riding the rails while wearing their long red underwear under overalls. 

Paul emailed that he has viewed both of my union suit blogs for several years now which he "thoroughly enjoys." Apparently, so too, has Tim. He mentioned he really likes "the union suit antics of RC and Stanley. What a fun thing to do."

When Tim suggested they send photos of themselves wearing their bright "one-piece wonders" out in Durango, Paul declared, "why not?!"

The two buddies are shown here, enjoying each other's company and relaxing after a day of riding the rails, and afterward stripping down to something much more comfortable than overalls. 

Paul reports that once they figured out each had a mutual love for red long johns, they became best buds. 

All Aboard!

So, Paul and Tim, Stan and RC prove that you can have more laughs as a Union Suit Fan when hanging out with a buddy. I've included a number of "Buddy" photo postings and stories over the years, guys enjoying others while in very comfortable attire.
