I’ve been wearing long underwear bottoms and tops. The tops are fine but the bottoms are bothering me.
With the long underwear bottoms I try to wear them high on my waist or what’s left of it. So I have the long underwear real high and my pants down where I like them but it’s driving me nuts.
Should I get some long johns ( one piece ) so the whole waist thing is a mute point.
Would I be more comfortable with longjohns?
I called around and one place has them but they are 25% wool. In my experience they always shrink. Does anyone have a source online for some poly longjohns that don’t cost an arm and a leg?

Long johns? I'm still wearing shorts. I didnt think it was that cold yet.
It's gotten cold here a couple of times this winter. Ft Collins, CO. Today it didn't get above freezing. I'm still trying to get stuff done outside.

Winterlude, it's makin' me lazy,
Come on, sit by the logs in the fire.
The moonlight reflects from the window
Where the snowflakes, they cover the sand.
Come out tonight, ev'rything will be tight,
Winterlude, this dude thinks you're grand.
Thanks! I just ordered a pair. Of all the suits i saw these were the nicest looking. I hope they fit!
Guess you don't have to be in a union to wear that suit<G> Winterlude, Winterlude, my little daisy,

If they dont fit, return em for the right size.
Cabelas is great
up here in the lake effect snow country i do my regular pants then insulated carhart overalls or if it is only mildly cold i have noninsulated overalls then if i need to shed a layer i wont make the ladies blush
I've gone that way with insulated overalls. They were to hot for me. I chose ones that were to heavy. I'm trying it the other way around. Putting layers under my clothes.
I don't go out when it is real cold and I'm not out long so all I need is a little bit extra.
If you don't need much, you might go with pantyhose. Reportedly a number of pro football players wear them under their uniforms in cold games. I remember Broadway Joe Namath getting a lot of press several decades ago when it was discovered he wore pantyhose in winter games...
Make sure you get a pedicure first to prevent runs :)
I make a fashion statement with my warmups with cargo shorts over them.My kids are embarassed to go out in public with me.
But a good pair of fleece warmup pants are as about as comfortable and as warm as it gets with the shorts I can put my tools and phone etc in my pockets and not have my pants coming off.
I have been wanting to market this combo but everybody thinks I'm crazy.
I even bought three pairs of skiller shorts for this winter to be more tool friendly with my combo ;>]

I'm the same way! I have one pair ( so far) of "titanium" convertable (zipp off legs) cargo pants that I wear over my long underwear. The pockets are right where I want them. I figure they are my tool belt when I don't have my tool belt on.
I have to buy another pair. These are looking pretty ratty.
I threw the longjohns to the curb a few years ago for the same reason,
LINED JEANS either from LL-BEAN or DULUTH TRADING. way more comfort ,no problems w/ cold I out last just about everyone on the job.
Try a pair they get me thru New England winters.
NAIL IT !!!
