Long Johns

[Admiral of the Humber]

Dear Forumeers

It is a tad chilly in Hull tonight and I am just about to go out to watch a Rugby League match.

I have lots of layers on including my long johns.

I know it is rather an intimate question but how many of you gents, or ladies, are also the proud wearers of sensible underwear?

Regards
Rob aka currently starting to sweat a bit of the Humber

Count me in AOTH.

I wear them for golf and watching footie. Also wore them when I went skiing.
Mine are Helly Hansen with the proper Y front.

Dear RB,

I am amazed...but pleased...to have got a reply!

Regards
Rob

I always buy the mens thermal long sleeve tee shirts in winter and I buy mens socks from M & S.... they are both better quality than the ladies. When I was at work the chaps used to wear ladies tights under their trousers on night shift aswell as long johns.....

There is a time to be sexy and a time to be warm....

AOTH ... be as intimate as you like

The first time we did a Xmas Market cruise I bought some thermals and boy am I glad I did not my usual "attire" I don't do sensible but they were wonderful and I was as "snug as a bug"

Not long johns, but when it's really cold, as it wasa couple of weeks ago, I do wear a pretty thermal vest.

100% silk long johns and long sleeved vest available online from Lands End.**

Essential first layer when required to watch a winter match then appear elegant *cough* at any post-match bash

** ETA mens and womens styles/sizes are available

I used to wear a combi set when sea fishing from the shore and when out by the rigs in the north sea
I admit to being a tad surprised that a tough northern type such as yourself would wear such frippery

I had you down for wearing your wifes tights

Oh yes - a must for winter time golf, and maybe even for long winter walks. There's no point in being uncomfortable.

We invested in a variety of thermal underpinnings for our Christmas cruise on Oceana and we were toasty warm!

I have two pairs of long-johns for wearing at the footie. A thinner pair for normal winter conditions, and a thicker pair for really cold days. Only problem is when one needs to go to the loo....multiple underlayers and a cold day doesn't make the process very easy!

Regarding socks....my record is 2 standard pairs plus some thicker hiking socks...I bought boots one size too big to accommodate extra socks too...not forgetting the fleecy innersoles!

On top I have been known to wear a thermal vest, a long-sleeved tee-shirt, a roll-neck jumper, my footie shirt and a thick thermal coat. I may look somewhat like the Michelin Man....but at least I'm warm!

....I would suggest you also tried wearing a hat!

When I used to do a lot of sea fishing by boat, especially overnight, or night fishing on the pier.

Although I had an Arctic weather fishing suit , I still use to wear long johns and even tights, underneath to keep the cold at bay.

I have a set of M/S thermal underwear, including long johns in the drawer, I cannot remember the last time I wore them.

[Silver_Shiney]

I had a couple of pairs issued for when I was on guard duty during the winter - came in very handy after retirement when riding a motorbike to work in the cold! Don't bother now - ankle socks and a pair of trousers is all I need in the recent arctic conditions...

Perhaps.....but not a cold pansy.

[Capt Black]

Proud to admit that I wear long johns whilst motor-biking in the winter. Military arctic socks, and a silk balaklava also contribute to me staying warm whilst out there on the road.

[Quizzical Bob]

I wore mine today to watch the mighty Saints steamroller Man City. I never felt cold once.

[cornmillgirl]

Well I have no long johns but its a consideration because the property we are house sitting is like a meat locker, so thermal tops and new
fluffy slippers have been purchased, as well as an electric blanket.

When its cold layers are a damn good idea.

[Admiral of the Humber]

I have spent the afternoon at the Grimsby Ice Rink. I was very glad of my long johns.
