Traditional Underwear

[Vintage_chap]

Hello Everyone
I'm new here and have found the site very interesting.. Lots of in formation and clothing discussions.. Its like an Aladdin's cave. I have also joined the Ask Andy forum and asking the same question..

I have a question
I'm looking for some vintage style underwear.. For years I have been searching for (and I'm not quite sure of the right name here..) All in ones, of Cowboy Suits (Union suits)??

The long arm and legs items that they used to wear in the Wild West.. Buttons all the way up the front and a flap at the back for ahem.. well, you know..

I am in England and have decided that now its cold when I'm out in the fields with my Dogs I need to keep warm.
So if anyone knows more about these or where I can buy them from (preferably in the UK) I would be most grateful.
Thanks in advance

"Western Emporium" do them, but prices are in dollars

As do this place, which is cheaper, and probably identical:

If you're after something a bit more British, Darcy clothing do very comfortable vintage two piece long johns http://www.darcyclothing.com/shop/underwear.html

I'm currently wearing the darcy long johns for exactly the same reason you're after them: dog walking!

The term is indeed 'Union suit' - search for that on eBay UK and you'll turn up a whole bunch of options at very reasonable prices.

Vermont Country Store (a U.S. shop..) carries union suits and sleep shirts.
