Union Suits Suitable for Outside Wear??!  Really?

From Guest Contributor, Retro Jeff of Illinois

The following is a retro packaged Rib Knit Union Suit, offered for sale recently on Amazon. 

 

If you read the fine print, you'll see the last line of the package declares that their union suit is.... 


..."IDEAL FOR ALL OUTSIDE WEAR."


Well, Artie up in Maine is a believer: 
 

So, is Rustic: 
 

Ohio's Buckeye Mike is game and so many others too!  

Even for union suit clad students pushing school buses!!



So how about you? 



Thanks to all of you who have been "game" to step outside in your underwear and snap a photo or two! And a special thanks to my good friend, Retro Jeff of Illinois, who's always looking for topics and projects to enhance my blog, Union Suit Fan. Which, by the way, is coming up on it's tenth anniversary this week.

Send me your favorite "outside" photo or two of you in a long-handled union suit to help celebrate a decade in our treasured underwear!

  1. Well, why not wear our union suits outside (unless it's a blizzard or pouring rain?!) If travlers can wear their pajamas on airplanes and to the store, why can't Union Suit Fans wear their union suits out and about!! ....Clay, Saranac, NY P.S. Appreciate you including my photo!

  2. Chris: I laughed out loud seeing this posting last night! I love the subtle message this long underwear manufacturer used and especially the examples of the many fellas you have featured over the years outside in their union suits. Brave Boys!! You left out my favorite outdoors union suit wearer / fan. And that was RC who you have posted a number of times having lost wagers and being made to do various "stunts" in his bright red underwear!! ...Kyle, Olympia, Wash
