  Duofold Men's Authentic 2-Layer Originals Midweight Union Suit By: Duofold Average Rating: 5.0 Total Reviews: 4 More Information The comfiest.  On: 2008-01-14I bought this for my boyfriend for Christmas. Its so comfy cozy; he loves it! Very soft and warm. It shrinks a little the first time you put it in the dryer, so alot for that when choosing a size. The Real Deal On: 2007-10-18Current 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 dont take `em off till the end of March until were 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 theres 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 Duofolds Salvadoran employees make a beautiful garment with high quality buttons and strong, straight seams. Be advised these run large. Im 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. Just Right Long Johns  On: 2007-04-02These duofolds are just right for working in South Dakota winters (we have a distinct cool season). Ive owned several pair over the years and have tried some other kinds, but for comfort and durability, these are the best. I just wish they stocked the gray color; Ive got plenty of red ones. These are far better than the fancy ones I bought from Cabelas at nearly twice the price. Warm and cozy! On: 2007-02-18I bought this for my husband who works outside in freezing weather. He loves it! Says it is the warmest and most comfortable unionsuit he has ever had! Ive washed it a few times and it washes beautifully. I do not put it in the dryer though so I dont know what the strinkage would be. I highly recommend this item. Warm and cozy!
