A Brief History Of The Red Union Suit The dingy, seldom-washed, drop seat Union Suit you see worn by cowboys , farmers and gold prospectors
in "B" westerns was one of the first products of the Industrial Revolution.
When spinning machines and cotton gins began to produce cotton cloth in quantity, underwear became one of the first mass-produced garments in history. Created in Utica, New York, United States, it originated as women's wear during the ninteenth century United States clothing reform
efforts, as an alternative to constricting garments, and soon gained popularity among men as well. Never before had ordinary people been able to buy well-made underwear. The breezy, two-piece homemade woolen drawers of the time, entirely unsuited to the strenuous outdoor life of the 1800's, were quickly replaced by the popular mass-produced "Union" suit--which joined together in a "Union" the two pieces of men's traditional underwear to create a durable one-piece undergarment. Even though they were popularized during the American Civil War, they were not called "Union Suits" because they were popular with the Union Army.
Montgomery Wards' 1895 catalog listed the price of a "Union Suit" as 10 cents, available in "natural wool color, gray, and the very popular red." Union suits were available in ankle or knee length, and buttoned down the front with the standard "drop seat" also known as the "access hatch", "firemen's flap" and other names, allowing the wearer to eliminate bodily waste without removing the garment. It was not uncommon until the mid-1900's for rural men to wear the same "Union Suit" continuously all week, or even all Winter. Normally no other type of underwear was worn with it. One of the major events of the Spring was the time when the "Union Suits" were removed, washed, and put away for the Summer.
