union suits

One-piece long johns

A union suit is a one-piece undergarment covering the torso and legs, typically with a buttoned front and a rear flap for using the toilet.

Popular in the late 19th and early 20th centuries as long underwear, they're now mostly worn for warmth in cold climates or as nostalgic costume: He posed for photos in a red union suit.
