Duofold Men's Mid-Weight Union Suit Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Current synthetic and merino wool cold weather underwear are, in my opinion, the way to go for serious outdoor activity when the wearer needs garments to dissipate perspiration and remain warm when wet, neither of which cotton-content models like this Duofold do well. Nevertheless, this union suit is a great base layer garment for relatively sedentary activities around the house, running errands in town or general outdoor activities on cold days (zero degrees Fahrenheit/-18 Celsius at sunrise the day I originally wrote this!). They feel cozy, come in a bright red that looks great in the open neck of your shirt and are great sleepwear for cold nights. So put them on in November and don't take `em off till the end of March until we're sure this global warming thing is for real.
Why a union suit? A one-piece outfit has no bulky double layer of fabric around your middle so clothes fit better, and there's no shirt tail to come untucked.
Why Duofold? They may be a bit pricier than other brands but they use superior fabric with partial merino wool and nylon content the others lack so they provide more warmth and shape retention. And Duofold's Salvadoran employees make a beautiful garment with high quality buttons and strong, straight seams.
Be advised these run large. I'm 6' tall and wear an XL in most items but this Duofold union suit in size L is more than big enough, with 34" sleeves and about 33" inseam. After one washing - using gentle cycle, Woolite soap and delicate drying - they came out fine with no significant shrinkage.
I first used Duofold products in 1973 when they set the quality standard for cold weather long johns. And, subject to the limitation described above, in 2006 they still do. Highly recommended.
