If you can believe the stories, old timers used to wear the same pair of long underwear until their chest hairs grew through like new growth through last year’s carpet of leaves. Popular wisdom says pioneers, cowboys, woodsmen, and prospectors kept their long johns on simply because they hated to bathe. But after wearing a pair for a few days and nights while camping recently in the Upper Peninsula, I think there’s another reason: because they’re warm, comfortable, and comforting, like the one-piece bunny pajamas I wore when I was three.

With the patenting by Duofold in 1906 of two-layer insulated underwear, the traditional wool union suit was transformed forever. Wool has long been a favorite choice of fabrics for people who spend much time outside in cold weather, but if you’ve ever worn a scratchy wool shirt against bare skin you can sympathize with old-timers who were reluctant to put on a fresh pair real work union suit. The Duofold system worked so well it’s still around: The union suit I wore in the U.P. has an outer layer of 40 percent wool thermal union suit, 50 percent cotton, and 10 percent nylon; and an inner layer of 100 percent cotton. The combination is warm and easy on the skin, and still contains enough wool to qualify as a classic and to insulate in the event of a soaking.

Not everyone is so enthusiastic. Criticism of one-piece long underwear appeared as far back as 1917, in Horace Kephart’s classic, Camping and Woodcraft: “Union suits are not practical in the wilds. If you wade a stream, or get your legs soaked from wet brush or snow, you can easily take off a pair of drawers to dry them, but if wearing a union suit you must strip from head to foot. Moreover, a union suit is hard to wash, and it is a perfect haven for fleas and ticks ? you can’t get rid of the brutes without stripping to the buff.” A less delicate matter not mentioned by Kephart is bodily functions. It requires an adventurous spirit to trust a union suit’s famous buttoned seat while taking a dump in the woods real work union suit. And there’s also the real possibility that the efficient insulation of a union suit will make it too warm for many outdoor activities One Piece Long Underwear.
