longjohn

Thermal leg covering

Longjohns are thermal underwear—full-length undergarments covering the legs and often the torso, worn for warmth in cold weather.

The singular longjohn typically refers to just the pants portion.

A longjohn is also an oblong doughnut, usually filled with cream and topped with chocolate or maple frosting.
