I Love Wearing Union Suits

I can't find a good summer Union suit so I made my own by cutting off the sleeves of a lighter weight one. Today's my first day in it and it's pretty great.

Vermont Country Store is selling a light weight all cotton union suit. Has anyone used it for Summer?

I have purchased the indera union suits that Vt. country store sells and believe me they do real well as shoe shine cloths.

LOL thanks for the tip. Any recommendation for a light weight spring/summer long sleeve/ankle length union suit?

try (https://basicsbymail.com/men) for summer wearing I suggest the thermal cotton/poly the material is quite porous. Don't let the price scare you to much it is Canadian not US.

Thanks!

Have you worn these union suits all through Summer? Would the 100% cotton work better for high temps?

I have worn the above cotton/poly thermal knit union on a warm 70+ day but at the present time I am using up my white cotton/poly (JE Morgan long handles) which are no longer made. The Morgan union suit is rib knit put the knit is very porous and I find them comfortable in the upper 70s although I have removed the sleeves leaving the selvage on the body of the suit (wish a short sleeve union suit was still made). The thing with 100% cotton is it will absorb and hold perspiration.

So perhaps the poly/cotton blend is the way to go.
