Long Johns [001737]

For your consideration, a traditional red union suit, patented in mid 1850’s and became a Victorian wardrobe staple for the next fifty years.

Available in sizes S - 2X, with some talls.

Imported, 100% pre-shrunk comfortable stretch poly fabric, and machine washable for years of service.
