First produced in the 17th century in England, they were used as a pyjama or a base layer by the wealthiest men. Over the years, the design, shape, and fabric have changed according to the preferences of the people in Europe.
Long John’s
It was only in the 19th century when the comfortable male pants were turned into a base layer with various names – long underwear, napoleon underwear, union suits, long legs.
In the early 1900’s, technology enabled producers to create wool pants for men and boys that did not shrink when washed, as it used to. Moisture-wicking and warmth keeping were partially achieved – features that are still very important.
The most common name that the product receives today is thermal underwear or long johns. For some people, those names refer to both – the shirt and the pants, but for others, it is only the bottoms that matter.
” Twintip is the logical development of the so called Long Johns”
In recent years due to technological development, more and more fabrics with different specifications have been used to produce thermal underwear. It was the influence of female leggings that brought long jonhs to tight-fitted designs. But not anymore.
Twintips are made to provide all male clients with the regular comfort of thermal underwear but add some style to it. The high-quality fabric and innovative sewing pattern make them functional for different occasions. With Twintip pants, you don’t have to hide your thermal underwear. You can wear it comfortably under as a base layer or proudly over as your only layer.
