For your consideration, a traditional red union suit, patented in mid 1850’s and became a Victorian wardrobe staple for the next fifty years.
The nickname Long Johns is rumored to stem from the a colorful Victorian bare knuckled prize fighter, John L Sullivan, who wore long underwear in the ring and dominated boxing in the late 1880’s.
Our full length union suit features a nine button placket front, five button rear "fireman’s flap" (yes, it opens) and thick wrist and ankle cuffs.
Available in sizes S - 2X, with some talls.
Imported, 100% pre-shrunk comfortable stretch poly fabric, and machine washable for years of service.
Please note: because this is an intimate item, it is not returnable once opened. Please review our sizing chart and order accordingly.
Tall sizes are ~ 2" longer through the back and sleeves.

There is a note on the label that says not to use these as sleep ware, but that's what I use them for primarily. I can see why they discourage it since too much movement might loose some buttons resulting in an unwanted draft. Nice material, good fit and very comfortable.

Overall, nicely made and the elastic works. The sleeves and legs are plenty long. It keeps me warm without getting hot. Unlike the picture mine has left-handed buttons, but I'll manage.

I bought these for my husband as a surprise and he loves them. They are very well made and when washed, don't lose their shape and dont lose colour. They are perfect for when he is out riding his motorcycle in bad weather! I was pleasently surprised at how quickly they wer delivered too! This is a great product that I would recommend to anyone.

Historical Emporium carries hard to find items and continues to be a great resource for many needs.
Jeff H Cedar Park, TX
You offer high quality items at prices so low, paying the shipping cost and customs fees still beats buying such wares here in Germany. Thank you very much for that! The clothes are of especially good quality, I am very satisfied with them.
