You know, the kind we see in old western movies, kinda like a footie PJ, just its underwear, to have under normal clothing I do kinda need the Norwegian word, but ill start with the English word first and maybe you guys even know about sites that sell those?

beallucanb Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 It depends on where you live, some call them union suits, or combinations. I love union suits I grew up wearing them every winter until I was in my teens, and until I got my first pair of footed jammies, they were my pajamas also. I still have some union suits, some made from cotton and some from new polypropylene, the cotton are very comfortable. If you plan on buying all cotton be aware that they usually shrink at least 1 size, buy over sized for the best fit. Link to comment
drynot Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 No matter what they're actually called....'Feetie Jammies' is what they should be called Link to comment
Repaid1 Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 Looks like this and Union Suit was the first name, Developed in New York originally made for the ladies And it doesn't have feet so why the heck would we want to call them Feetie Jammies? Those were called Sleeper Jammies when I was a kid. Link to comment
Little BabyDoll Christine Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 Foote pajamas were called Dr. Dentons and I rmember pictures of them going back to whenIwas 6 and that book was notnew then. They had the flap in the seat for some reason since the child in them in the picture was diaper age Link to comment
Floppy Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 Long Johns, or Thermal underwear. Link to comment
Guest gnappies Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 Long Johns, or Thermal underwear. Yep, over the pond it's Long Johns. Link to comment
Dubious Posted November 10, 2012 Author Share Posted November 10, 2012 Long underwear, also called long johns, or thermal underwear, is a style of two-piece underwear with long legs and long sleeves that is normally worn during cold weather. It offers an advantage over the one-piece union suit in that the wearer can choose to wear either the top, bottom or both parts depending on the weather. Long underwear is also less commonly known as long handles. It is commonly worn by people in cold countries. Link to comment
Dubious Posted November 10, 2012 Author Share Posted November 10, 2012 Seems to be hard to find anyone that sell them at a reasonable price.. Found 1 that cost $172 and its sold out... kinda expensive.. Guess ill have to stick to the 2-piece version.. Link to comment
Letluvsrool Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 Check out your local camping/hunting type store and you'll probably find some for cheap there. Also military surplus stores are great places to get long underwear for cheap. Link to comment
tommyp Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 Have you checked on Amazon? Link to comment
pampers212 Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 Up her in Canada we call them 'long johns' or long underwear. Link to comment
BabyTara Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 This site has them in colors and patterns: http://www.hanes.com/clothing/men/thermal-underwear Link to comment
Dill_Pickle Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 This site has them in colors and patterns: http://www.hanes.com/clothing/men/thermal-underwear What?!?! Gentlemen prefer Haynes? (grin!) might also want to check Fruit-of-the-Loom and REI, and don't forget the adult-sized onsies from Daily D's friends... Link to comment
Dubious Posted November 22, 2012 Author Share Posted November 22, 2012 Hanes only ship within the states (not international) and "Daily D's friends" ? Fruit of the loom mostly got "normal" underwear Can only find 2 piece on Rei`s Link to comment
Dill_Pickle Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 Ok, where are you? I am in central VA, USA, and have lived in the USA for 4 or 5 decades. "Gentlemen Prefer Haynes" is a famous TV advertising tag line, and I can't believe REI has only one type of thermal undewear available....now, I'd be unsurprised if you said that of your local Tesco, Wal-mart, or K-mart. And, by "friends of Daily Di", I meant websites that advertise on or are linked to from dailydiapers.com...as these tend to be aware of and friendly towards your special needs, so will have things like footed sleepers in adult sizes. "Normal" clothing suppliers would tend to just expect you to wear a pair of wool socks or even down booties if your feet were cold....the down booties are for snow camping. Good luck with that union suit....And don't take me or yourself too seriously... Link to comment
