Have no doubt: if you're thinking of taking advantage of the change of season to update your men's underwear, you should include more than one example of
Abanderado Long Johns , also known as
vintage long johns , in your wardrobe. This garment has very unique qualities that will keep you warm on the coldest days of the year. Long Johns are back as a renewed classic, with a style that adapts to the modern man and whose construction guarantees maximum comfort.
The origin of old-fashioned long johns: Long Johns
It seems like all the arguments have conspired to vindicate the return of Long Johns. From a
sustainability perspective, since they're a
warm men's underwear piece,
ideal for turning down the heat a few degrees when you're at home . Also, because they align perfectly with the retro or vintage trend in menswear. And finally, because they're a commitment to comfort.
But what exactly are long johns? Well, they're the
most authentic form of long underpants , the kind that cover from the waist to the ankles. A type of men's underwear that began to be used in the 17th century, initially as a set of two garments, one for the top and one for the bottom, to keep warm against the cold.
In the 18th century, the concept of old-fashioned long johns took a turn that brought them closer to our current understanding of their usefulness. On the one hand, they began to be used for sleeping, becoming the
precursor to our pajamas . On the other,
boxer John Sullivan popularized their use as athletic underwear. In fact, it's quite likely that the term "Long Johns" is a tribute to this unique athlete who only fought in long johns.
This utility of long johns as
sportswear or as men's underwear to keep you warm at home or when out and about is what has survived to this day. And it's what we at
Abanderado have worked on to create an
innovative take on traditional Long Johns , carefully crafting every detail of style and functionality.
Types of Long Johns you can use
It's clear that long johns are
initially designed for men who are sensitive to the cold and who engage in outdoor activities. However, it would be a mistake to forgo all the benefits they offer just because you're not particularly sensitive to low temperatures. A modern Long John made of lightweight fabric
adapts to your body and highlights your silhouette , so you feel attractive when you're at home. Or it can become a second skin, elastic and secure, ideal for sports.
With these premises in mind, at
Abanderado we have designed three models of long underwear that respond to the different needs you may have.
Winter Cotton Long John
A model by
Abanderado that faithfully reflects what long underwear is, designed
for cold winter days , because it gives you that extra warmth you need to feel comfortable. Made with 100% cotton and with a plush interior that is truly pleasant to the touch, the
Abanderado Winter Cotton Long John is a wardrobe essential for a man who is sensitive to the cold and determined to combat that feeling. It molds perfectly to your body, so
you can wear it under any type of pants without it being noticeable , and you won't feel uncomfortable no matter how active you are in your day-to-day life. Choose this type of underwear if you want to leave the house with the peace of mind that you won't suffer the rigors of winter.
Long John with winter fiber
This type of underwear is perfect for men who, in addition to
seeking warmth and comfort, value maximum softness in their long johns . They're made with a blend of polyester and cotton, a combination that optimizes the fabric's elasticity and, therefore, its adaptability to your body. Therefore, you'll find it very practical to have a
winter cotton Long John from Abanderado to enjoy
relaxing days at home . It's also very appropriate to wear when you go to the office or when you're getting ready to go out for some leisure time.
Termaltech Thermal Long John
Scientific advances and technological contributions have led to the creation of a generation of
smart fabrics that have revolutionized the world of men's underwear . A good example of this innovation is the
Abanderado Termaltech thermal long john , a long underwear model ideal for combating extreme cold. The main quality of this technical fiber is its ability to generate and retain heat.
However,
it's a thin, highly elastic garment , so you can stay warm without limiting your mobility. The combination of flexibility and warmth makes this underwear ideal for men who work outdoors in extremely cold areas. And don't forget to wear Abanderado thermal Long Johns under your activewear when cycling, motorcycling, or practicing any sport in adverse weather conditions or very low temperatures.

very versatile piece of underwear . You can wear them for relaxing at home, for exercising, or under your favorite pants. It's no wonder
they've become a coveted item for all types of men this season .
