Up and until I discovered the good folks of Truro, Nova Scotia, Canada wearing their long-sleeved, ankle length Combinations to work, play and all over town, I had believed that the State of Colorado had the most Union Suit wearing citizenry per capita in North America. After all, the Centennial State has any number of outdoor activities including skiing, snowboarding, ice skating, camping, hiking, biking, fishing, and hunting whereby union suits are commonly worn. Over the past couple of years, I have documented the long-handled underwear of Colorado wearers by posting numerous photos and stories. For instance, take the Manitou Springs fire department who win coffin races in their long red underwear:

And how about Mike of Lakewood who lost a wager and was required to go hiking in his union suit: 


There's the Crimsom Clad Leaping Lord of Nederland in his unmentionables:

And the bank robber whose pants were shot off at Buckskin Joe's near the Royal Gorge / Canon City. He was driven out of town in his long red underwear:


Karen of Leadville reported that her dad, husband and oldest son all wear union suits most of the year in their mountain town. And you remember the gold miners of Central City. They paraded around main street and ran bed races in their red long johns:










So it sure appears that Colorado and every other state, province, and community take a back (drop) seat to the inhabitants of Truro, Nova Scotia! What do you think Union Suit Fans?
