more BVD's

[sagehen]

BVD also produced a lightweight cotton (or linen) union suit  cut in the
fashion of a toddler's sunsuit: collarless, sleeveless,
button-down-the-front & with loose, short pants. No dropseat, but a
vertical, buttonless fly in back as well as front. The material  was a
thin, fine sort of dimity with a  grid of heavier warp & weft threads.  My
father wore this style of underwear year 'round. He died nearly sixty years
ago; I've no idea whether these are still being made.
