and Long Red Underwear have in Common? 

To find out, watch for my Posting, "A Gift of Red Flannels." Coming Soon ! 

Union Suit Fans:  You know over the years, I have included several postings of Cowboys in their Union Suits. To me and many of you, they are the quintessential wearers of long, one-piece underwear.

Here's another photo I had to share: 

Hats Off to this Rough and Tough Buckaroo 

For more Cowboys in their Union Suits, head to my companion blog, Union Suit Fans in the Limelight, for the three part presentation of "The Frisco Kid."

 Tyler of Tulsa, OK emailed and sent the following:

Chris: Perusing your blog again, I viewed a cartoon ad you posted last spring of a kid in his boxers soaking a pair of Levi's overnight.* You said you too use to soak your Levi jeans to get them shrunk for a proper fit. As a millennial, I have not had to go to so much trouble. But, I ran across this ad of another dude in his boxer shorts soaking his jeans too. I know this is a union suit blog, but if you think worthy, post this one too:

True Tyler, this blog is primarily for Union Suit postings but, now and again, boxer shorts sneak in. Thanks for sharing your follow up to my Levi Soaking posting of May 9, 2020.

Speaking of boxers, in this day of having to stay home to be safe, a lot of us, working from home, are dressing informally including going on-line without our pants like these guys:

I prefer working away at home on my computer in one of my union suits. Might as well be comfortable, don't you think? And, unless you forget and stand up while on a virtual platform, who's to know?!?!?  ... Chris

Buckeye Mike emails: 

"The best ads evoke emotions or feelings. Not surprising since a large percentage of purchases are emotion driven. Even though I have not been camping or fishing for at least 20 years, I can "feel" what is going on in this picture.....the morning stretch, the feel and smell of the fog and the sense of being one with nature. Looks like this guy is about to enjoy his first coffee of the day in his union suit just like I am doing as I write this. Come to think of it, this is probably what a lot of us look like as we first get up and stretch. I saw this ad when it ran some years ago but didn't notice his reflection in the truck door. Way cool! Truly a great picture....makes me want a Chevy truck and a tent ....Buckeye Mike"

Thanks, pal. Enjoy that cup of joe while I go get me another cup.... Chris
