If you're gonna do a union suit, do a union suit.

I always think of these:

From Sears 1902.

I remember real old-timers talking about them. And the drop back flap ones.

Used to be cold and rugged out there, we're basically spoiled now.

Alpo, I thought we were a team brother and yet here you jump right in and kick me when I'm down.

I have no idea why people think that I like purple or pink. No idea what-so-ever.

Oh, I guess I should have done that the first time instead of laughing and choking on my dinner. OK Alpo, I apologize. At least I have one Allie on here.

Alpo,

I have a brown union suit that I used to wear when I went hunting. I don't think I could get my big butt in it now!! I have often wondered exactly why it's called a union suit.

Dang Jim, where is your pocket protector in that picture?

Ask and ye shall receive an answer. Might even be the right one.

According to Wiki - The first union suit was patented in 1868 as "emancipation union under flannel".

So I guess it's a "union suit" because the guy that invented it called it that.

Nope, that's a real tie. And if you look real close, the knot is incorrect. I haven't tied it right for years. I guess I get the last laugh.
