The Tailors Wore Union Suits Too

Yentl wears a union suit under his,
 'er her, clothes

After I posted "More Movie Trivia" regarding the film, Yentl, this past October 16th, I received an email from Samuel of Boston, Mass:  

Chris: In your last photo (in Movie Trivia) of the tailor and his boy in the Yentl movie, both are shown with their sleeves rolled up and they too have on white union suits under their clothes....Samuel, hailing from Boston where I wear white union suits myself a good part of the year.

Rhode Island Randall agreed, his comment: 

Yes when the picture is enlarged, you can definitely see the Tailor and his son with their white union suits showing with their shirt sleeves rolled up…… Rhode Island Randall 

Well, let's take a look at these enlarged photos from the film, Yentl. Here's the scene the guys spoke of: 

Sure enough, when the photo of the tailors who are measuring Yentl for wedding clothes is enlarged, you can clearly see (particularly the tailor's son ) that their sleeves are rolled up and that the underwear both are wearing are white union suits. 

Good catch, fellas!  I didn't notice those tailors wearing union 

suits under their suits until you pointed it out: 

And from more scenes: 

Union suits of all three can be seen...

Artie up in Maine, a devoted Union Suit Fan, also commented he's a white union suit wearer, 

and sent me a photo to prove it!

"I’m definitely a 

white union suit guy 👍"

Artie: I wear white 
union suits too!
Keep 'em buttoned!

Thee Long Johns in the Limelight !! 

Rock bands performing while wearing only their union suit underwear have entrigued me for years, particularly after I found a large number of them on the internet after starting my Union Suit Fans in the Limelight blog. A surprising number of them were with their guitars and drums, standing in front of microphones in just their long, one-piece underwear,

Here is a re-post of "Thee Long Johns" which I featured herein on July 3, 2018. 

I don't know if they are still rockin' or not. And, if they are, I wonder if they still wear their union suits on stage. If you have run across them lately, let me know.

Here they are for you in case you're a newcomer to my blogs or if you happened to miss this posting from over seven years ago:

Thee Long Johns is a Norwegian band that performs in their Union Suits. This band was first introduced to me by Union Suit Fan, Bay Area Bill. They are the self-proclaimed, "Inbred Outlaw Rock and Roll Band."

Prior to his endorsement and forwarding me pictures of them on stage in their one-piece, buttoned-front, rear escape hatch, long underwear, I had not heard of them. I understood Bill to call them Three Long Johns. After viewing their photos, I emailed Bill, “I count five band members, Bill. Why are they called 'Three Long Johns?'” Probably thinking to himself "you dim-wit," Bill replied, “It's not 'three', it's 'Thee' Long Johns.” 

Ohhh!  

At any rate, Bill and I are happy to present to you “Three Long Johns!” Dang it! I mean "Thee Long Johns!"

Adored by their Audiences, these Bad Boy Scandinavians are Scandalous in their Union Suits! But do they ever have fun, who wouldn't ?!

One band member, the drummer often times wears a red Union Suit. The rest of the guys prefer white:

Checkout their song: "Longjohnsong" and other selections.

Thee Long Johns Just love Hangin' Out 
with each other in their underwear!

And, Speaking of Yentl and Union Suits:

Another scene from the 1983 film wherein Yentl Mendel, while posing as a boy to be accepted into university, visits a tailor shop to be fitted for a new suit, a wedding suit! She has found herself betrothed. Having dressed as a boy, she undresses to her union suit for a fitting by the owner and his son....
