Spring Out of Those Bulky Winter Clothes!
Union Suit Fan
Since May, 2016, an entertaining blog featuring men's and boys' long one-piece underwear aka union suits. Considered old-fashion by some but known to be warm, comfortable, and fun to wear by those of us who swear by 'em! ...

It's Back! March Madness!
Union Suit Fans: Last March, I posted a photo and article received from my very good friend of many years, Joe of New York City. He has a great eye for the unusual and has contributed much to my blogs. This time, his contribution featured a 1930's basketball team that played all of their games wearing only union suits and sneakers! Seriously!
What with the NCAA basketball championships beginning next week, I thought it worth a look back at one of my favorite postings. Hope you agree:
Talk About March Madness!
The February 20, 1938 Life Magazine featured a Detroit semi-pro basketball team who played their games wearing only union suits with sneakers. How's that for March Madness? Bet you won't see this in the 2024 NCAA Basketball playoffs!
The team was called "The Original Undies." Really, no joke! Their team leader boasted they were "the only basketball team in the world completely attired in union suits." These players acutally play in their one-piece, short-sleeved, button-down long underwear. Nearly laughed off the court in their union suits each game, these boys managed to win a few! No joke! The well dressed Harlem Globe-Trotters had nothing on them!
Thanks to Joe of New York City for sending me this appropriate basketball playoff photo and article as another college March Madness gets underway.

More Stanfield's Union Suits From Canada....
Last month, I featured the story of Stanfield's Long Underwear, a manufacturer of Canadian Union Suits, located in Truro, Nova Scotia. I mentioned that I had posted a number of photos with stories over the years of the inhabitants of Truro, citizens of Canada. Many of you here in the United States told me this company makes your favorites due to their high quality and really warm, long winter underwear.So, here are some folks I've featured over the years, wearing Stanfield's Union Suits. If you are a Stanfield's fan, send me your photo today. I'll add you to this posting!

Computer Correspondence
A typical morning for me is to drag myself out of bed, make that first cup of coffee to get my eyes open, and then fire up my computer, still in my union suit. With a smile on my face, I begin working on the Union Suit Fan and Union Suit Fans in the Limelight blogs, as well as answering emails and looking over the many comments you add to these postings which I truly look forward to.
Apparently, other union suit fans enjoy the start of their day by doing the same:
