The Cold Day Union Suit
A little-known fact about the union suit: it originated in the 19th century as part of a German movement that advocated fresh air, nudism, ‘water massages,’ and other natural therapies a good hundred years or so before the hippie era. A simpler and more straightforward way of dressing was also part of this reform agenda, for women as much as men. So, no, the famed one-piece underwear unit hasn’t always just been a way for Grizzly Adams types to keep warm in their cabins. Nor has the union suit ever been quite this comfortable, which is a main reason we’re reintroducing this throwback style for the first time in years. Ours is made of lightweight, super-soft cotton jersey; you may find yourself wearing it around the house with slippers a little later into the morning than expected, and also gladly pulling a pair of wool trousers on over it once you’ve resolved to go out. Features a ‘drop seat’ (the polite term for butt flap) and ribbed collar and cuffs. Contrast stitching. Fisheye buttons. 100% Cotton. Classic fit. Imported. Machine wash.

Thank you fits great will keep me warm this winter
Thank you fits great will keep me warm this winter. Nice and heavy duty

Great choice
The one-piece works for me as an alternative for pajamas. It stays in place. It is warm and roomy. Great cotton fabric. The “trap door” works well.

Great purchase!
My husband LOVES his onsey and wants me to order more! Keeps him warm at night but not too hot.
