I thought about getting a Union Suit because its something you can sleep in and wear stuff over it, But I tend to wonder if are Ancestors worn so many Lairs of Clothes in the Heat then did that ever effect them? Like people would think your crazy today if you worn all that gear!
@@DarkBishop19 The typical dress of someone in the 1800s is about the same as you’d expect. As the video notes, most people wore cotton or linen underwear under their usual clothes, although in many cases men might go without if their pants were lined or if they just couldn’t be bothered. Shirts were cut long to be tucked into the high waist, and on rare occasion shirts were long enough to be tucked under the groin similar to earlier 1700s styles. If a man was not wearing a union suit or similar coverall, he might go without any sort of undergarment under his shirt, though for obvious reasons these were less common to begin with. Wool and linen breath well and in the case of wool presents a temperature-flexible barrier of hard-wearing material for all year round. Heat and humidity were facts of life, just as they are today.
I gotta tell you, if you have to spend any time in a dry lake or really arid desert when it's cold, you'd be hard pressed to find something better. Keeps all the damn dust from getting ground into you under your belt.
Underoos, pocket for cell phone. Too funny. When my dad was in the Navy, his bell bottoms had the 13 buttons for the 13 original colonies. Getting all those unbuttoned in a hurry must have been a trip. Thanks for great videos.
Wow you guys!! I feel like your videos deserve their own show on cable tv. I love your style and I learn something every time I watch your videos. P.s Glen was a cutie ;) Him and his longjohns lol
Wow Fruit of the Loom have been around since 1851? That's wild! Haha loved how you interviewed everyone to see what they were wearing :D Probably best ya didn't ask any of the ladies or you might have ended up with a black eye ;-)
Oh man you missed the opportunity to use the clip from a few dollars more where clint says "i don't wear em" after evicting a room and throwing the forgotten personal items at previous tenant
Hey Dirty Dan ! - don’t forget: Take OUT your Cell Phone from your Under-Roos front pocket BEFORE you sit in the Crescent-Moon reading room! Or... ( going back to the Outhouse episode, ) it might end up falling next to Santee’s lost Quarter down there!!! Darth Airborne Nobody 55’ NYC
I once read of Texas people that debated wearing long underwear. It seems that in warmer weather, the wearer was galled by the trapped heat, so they were often cast off.
Cheers Pard . For some reason I wasnt gettin notifications about new videos .. so boy did i have some catchin up ta do .. good job mate... and i always call mine draws ....
@@ArizonaGhostriders I believe it is the only time a single item is referred to in the plural. Someone has suggested they were originally in two parts but there is no evidence for this.
S.antee totally love your videos, very enjoyable. i actually sometimes think i must of been born in a different century and wrong country cause i totally love everything wild west.Santee how about doing a video about old west facial hair and old west saloons. thanks and keep up the great work
Hey Santee I wanted to ask you a quick couple of questions... I'm ordering long johns off of Wild West Merc. and wanted to know your thoughts on how well they work, and the last question is What does BVD Mean?? I love your videos and I get up early every Saturday to watch them. See you later, your trail buddy... Morgan.
I think they work really well, although that's too much for me out here because of the heat. But if you wanna feel what they felt back then....get a pair! BVD: Bradley, Voorhees & Day (1876 New York underwear manufacturers).
I live just south of the Canadian border, so the one piece long John's are perfect. the other option of separate top and bottom thermals is just a bit of a pain.
I was in a Civil War museum somewhere, can't remember, anyway they had original uniforms as well as mens underwear made out of wool, I can't remember if they said it was US issue or just common for the day. I can't imagine having to put up with wool underwear.
i wanted a union suit when i was a kid…until i learned that they don’t make for quick opening when you really gotta go 😳 didn’t help that i outgrew them so had to pass them on to my sister…she wore them fir the long walks to work in winter- nobody was going to say something about wearing them if they never see them 😳😎
Rita Scott lol that's why I like you guys and gals 😉😎 I truly enjoy the show. I used to live in AZ and recognize things here and there. Thank you guys for making great stuff. Would be awesome to come hang out someday and maybe c ollab w ole Santee and the crew 😊
I’m caught in my flap, I can’t get out, Cause I gotta pee so bad baby, The outhouse is far, I should have gone at the bar, Now it’s just too late baby,
Interesting video, I always remembered seeing long johns from old cartoons. I do have a question though, I watched your video on old west tobacco but how would they carry their matches. In the video you showed various scenes from movies where they lit the pipe or cigarette with a strike anywhere match, my question is how would they carry them to keep them dry from weather and to keep them from going off by striking against the other matches..which is still a problem with strike anywhere even today when it comes to shipping...which is why the USPS really DOESN'T like to ship them without charging you an arm and a leg from what I gather.
May I ask would the common Westerner really wear a full body union suit, Canvas pants, Stove pipe boots, suspenders and vest with a over shirt in the summer. I'm not calling it crazy but from my understanding they did? Am I correct.
What kinda materials were usual for union suit construction, i would think cotton, but as a thermal you'd think wool was better but maybe too scratchy unless similar to modern merinos
Santee, Im in folk style rock band. Love the old western scene! BUT we need a name.. Any suggestions on good terms to throw around that fit that Psychedelic WestVictorian setting?
Who are these guys? I love the wild west and would love a job where you are basically a living museum at work. If anybody has any info, that would be awesome. I would love to dress up and reenact the old west.
The Union Suit never really went out of style and is still comfy.
I had a pair of silk ones once. Don't tell anyone.

No air conditioning in homes either. People were hardier back then.

"I'm not tellin.' (SUCKERS!!!)" Lol!

"T' ain't riiight men folk talkin about thar underwaar". 😂
HA!
Best most wholesome channel ever. Anyone who said y’all would lose viewers once the red dead 2 hype died down is a fool
Those people ate their words if they did say that.
In the colder areas of the US, we wear long john thermal underwear. When I used to race, I wore fire resistant long john underwear.
Great video as always. That was a bit of an understatement.
Thanks, lol!
I’ve learned some thing here! I wear union suits every winter! Buggers are pricey!
Yep
I'll keep this brief, my wife and I enjoy all your videos! So don't get your knickers in a knot and we'll tune in next time.
HAHAHA!! Glad to hear it.
Wow you guys!! I feel like your videos deserve their own show on cable tv. I love your style and I learn something every time I watch your videos. P.s Glen was a cutie ;) Him and his longjohns lol
HAHAH! Thank you so much.
Santee, now I "under" stand a lot more... Even though it was a "short" video.☺️
Love that!

Yeah, and there were a couple of tough looking ladies there!
Did it have the inspector tag? Lol
Weird to think that Doc Holliday grew up with Fruit of the Loom...
Santee ...love your derby....you look like a real gentleman

Oh man you missed the opportunity to use the clip from a few dollars more where clint says "i don't wear em" after evicting a room and throwing the forgotten personal items at previous tenant
Can't get 'em all.
Great video
Factual AND funny. Mr. Santee, you and your crew hit another bullseye with this obe. Keep up the good work pard. Kid Tumbleweed

I just wear dusty britches. LOL!
HAHAHAHA!!!
Yep!!
Pun city
I am a young guy, I am 22 years old , I am happy to wear "Union suit " this is the most comfortable underwear.
Cool!
Thank you. I have a better UNDERstanding.
Wow....never thought of that one before! I'm impressed, Al.
I've read that the reason many old shirts are so long is to prevent chafing when people would wear them without proper underwear.
If I had some I would wear long johns, I like the look of them popping from under the sleeves
They look good popping out under the sleeves.
3:03 that is the greatest laugh to ever exist.
🤠
Dam i would hate to have to get them off fast,when old mother nature calls you real fast🤣
I guess back then you had to be careful eating gas station burritos.
I like under garments new or old. The keep away the jock itch on men & fun to get into on women.
LOL!!!
Thumbs up so don't get your underwear in a bunch. Thanks for sharing my friend. Belle.🔔🔔🔔
Great vid, funny and informative. ✌💖
dam in the 1970's i use to wear NYLON BVD'S i didnt know they still made BVD
It's Fruit of the Loom now.
Dont lie, you all are wearing Depends.
Awesome stuff guys
Thanks, Amber!
I once read of Texas people that debated wearing long underwear.

I wouldn't doubt it.
Neat stuff Mike.
Thanks

That's OK! Glad you are here.
Oh, my goodness hahahaha Love this video, funny, entertaining yet educational...I'll be poking around more lol
Thank you much, June!
union suit ? ive found my next amazon purchase
Interesting that we refer to them as a pair of trousers as a plural but there is only one item.
Pair of trousers....but only one bra.

Thank you. I will go more into the saloons and facial hair in the future. It's in the plan.
@@ArizonaGhostriders Thanks Santee and once again keep up with awesome videos great work
@@joenieto5491 Thanks much!
I have a black union suit, full wool. It costed about 30$. It's very comfy in the winter.
Nice!

I appreciate that!
Excellent! T-Rex looked good in his red underwear. Boxers.
Yeah he did. Boxers, eh?
Arizona Ghostriders boxers are what I wear. Sorry.
Way to go!
underpants? ha ha ha ha.... great vid Cheese! Now that I finally know what Dirty Dan wears, I can check that item off my bucket list !!!! :-)
LOL!!! Yeah...it does paint a picture...right?
Save your money go commando!!! But in the cold months put on your long johns stupid!!!!! LOL
Great Channel. Great videos. Left a like.
I was in a Civil War museum somewhere, can't remember, anyway they had original uniforms as well as mens underwear made out of wool, I can't remember if they said it was US issue or just common for the day. I can't imagine having to put up with wool underwear.
I imagine they were quite used to it.
0:20 I loved when I saw Bret Stiles in Hidalgo
Malcom McDowell is an awesome actor.
Man, these videos always seem to make my day :^)
So glad to hear it.
The things i learn .just like a good pair of underware im giveing you some support lol
LOL!!!
I love my longjohns but only in the winter as The southern humidity is unbearable even in shorts
Yes!
i wanted a union suit when i was a kid…until i learned that they don’t make for quick opening when you really gotta go 😳
didn’t help that i outgrew them so had to pass them on to my sister…she wore them fir the long walks to work in winter- nobody was going to say something about wearing them if they never see them 😳😎
Sure would've felt different in clothing then.
Why was underwear back then so long in comparison to today’s
Extra insulation from the cold. In cold climates people still wear long underwear. I did when I lived in NY. Mine were silk, though. Yeah, baby.
Under pants? We don't need no stinking underpants!!!! I'm just imagining the 7 lanes of skid marks in them. I for each day of the week.
AaarrgghH!!!! HA!
That's where the nickname rough riders came from.
Since 1876 the company not my underwear LOL
I figure there's four types of underwear; Clean, backwards, inside-out and inside out and backwards. That'll get ya 'til Sunday.
Yes!
Where could you get a historically accurate pair of Union suits?
riverjunction.com
Santee- discussing britches..who'd a funked It? 😉
Yeah...well we have no shame here at AZ Ghostriders.
Rita Scott lol that's why I like you guys and gals 😉😎 I truly enjoy the show. I used to live in AZ and recognize things here and there. Thank you guys for making great stuff. Would be awesome to come hang out someday and maybe c ollab w ole Santee and the crew 😊
What she said.
That scene was from tombstone!!!! My favorite scene is when doc says I’m your huckleberry
Good one.
I’m caught in my flap,
I can’t get out,
Cause I gotta pee so bad baby,
The outhouse is far,
I should have gone at the bar,
Now it’s just too late baby,
🤠
Nice vid Santee but what about one of the older brands and one of my favorite today wrangler.
Wranglers goes back to 1946, Not quite the Old West, but a great brand of clothing made for cowboys like you!
PLEASE get an authentic coffee cup!
Thought you would show Penelope Cruz in the union lol
Hehe
Santee you should do a video on the movie accuracy of "cowboys and aliens" 2011.
Sure. Well...the costuming and sets were pretty good...
When you get the dust Nocked off '-. . Hallerback🇺🇸💥 showing support on new 2-year Community God bless hi
Ken
hey santee can you do a video on outerwear of the west like coat and jackets, Thanks
Absolutely!
Were the union suits made of wool?
How common was it for people to go commando in the old west?
Oh...maybe a little. They ain't talkin' though.
Interesting video, I always remembered seeing long johns from old cartoons. I do have a question though, I watched your video on old west tobacco but how would they carry their matches.

Did folks "go commando" in the old west?
Certainly.
cool beans
love it
Thank you.
Arizona Ghostriders your so welcome.
Arizona Ghostriders can you guys do something on record players please
If you were wearing BVDs from the 1870's that would be the all time best buy for your money. I guess they really do have a lifetime guarantee. :-)
Yes!
May I ask would the common Westerner really wear a full body union suit, Canvas pants, Stove pipe boots, suspenders and vest with a over shirt in the summer. I'm not calling it crazy but from my understanding they did? Am I correct.
Yes. The undergarments would soak up the sweat.
Anyone else ever notice that the end card song sounds similar to an old west version of F is for friends who do stuff together?
Ha! I'm a BVD kinda guy myself. Didn't know they dated that far back
Right?
Hey Santee i didn't quite catch what type of underwear you are wearing. Happy Sunday!
BVD, Martina. Bradley, Voorhees & Day (thus "B.V.D.") from 1876.
Arizona Ghostriders oh super!👍👍👍😊😊
For under shirts i would wear a 3 button down t-shirt made by Carhartt
Interesting facts
What kinda materials were usual for union suit construction, i would think cotton, but as a thermal you'd think wool was better but maybe too scratchy unless similar to modern merinos
Originally flannel wool, then later cotton
Women’s fashion back then was so complex that underwear wasn’t even simple
Santee, Im in folk style rock band. Love the old western scene! BUT we need a name.. Any suggestions on good terms to throw around that fit that Psychedelic WestVictorian setting?
Wouldn’t a flannel body suit under your clothes get hot in the desert in the summer time
Yes. But it would also absorb any sweat so you can re-wear your clothes over again without cleaning.
Think there were some guy-cards in jeopardy after this one.
Did people actually use the top of the union suite as a shirt with trousers like gus at the start of lonsome dove
That would have been very lewd. In polite company especially.
Arizona Ghostriders Too much information and I ain't telling, like #96.
Do you have any videos about popular western old time sayings?
I do! ruclips.net/video/2mHQ3eHg-dY/видео.html
Thanks for watching.
I'm a BVD Dude myself.LOL
🤠
Who are these guys? I love the wild west and would love a job where you are basically a living museum at work. If anybody has any info, that would be awesome. I would love to dress up and reenact the old west.
We don't do it for a day job, sadly. Maybe one day we could. We do shows, living history and movies here in AZ.
@@ArizonaGhostriders Cool. Are there any towns in AZ were a lot of workers dress up like its the old west?
@@larryblack5963 The theme parks mainly. Also Pioneer Living History Village.
