tfw you're peeing next to someone in the lineup and they don't know
I've had a recurring problem in my life that I need to address- namely, I loving love onesies for lounging around the house. They're basically incredible especially in the Winter.

The problem is that I've never seen or bought a onesie that is really good quality. I've tried buying the most expensive ones I can find, and they're alright, but I want something that is made to last.

Money is almost literally no object because I use a onesie like, easily 50x a year or more. So if I could get one that actually loving lasted and was supremely comfortable, I could see dropping some money on such a thing.

I guess if nothing else, there could be custom clothes services that could craft such a thing. Maybe? If anyone knows about awesome onesies or a place that would make me one for under $500, speak!

I have only known onesies to be for babies. Are you one of those people who wears diapers and stuff around the house as an adult because of some childhood trauma?

If you really can't understand the merits of what is basically a super warm robe covering your whole body, and you won't wear a certain type of clothing due to the fact that babies also wear them, I don't even know what to say.

That being said I'm very secure in my masculinity, so it doesn't bother me. YMMV.

This is what I want, but the best, plushest, most expensive version of this:

Its negotiable but i do like a butt flap if possible. Nothing like being being warm and comfy while taking a poo poo, but if an overall better onesie didn't have a flap that would be acceptable.

I'd look into ninja suits that skiers/snowboarders wear. No feet though. Merino wool would be my material of choice, but you have to take care of it and line dry etc.

Man whatever floats your boat. But there is probably a reason you are having a hard time finding quality, adult-sized onesies (because their intended use is for infants/toddlers/small children).

I live in a California beach house in one of the most desirable areas in the USA. My kitchen window has a view that would blow your mind and I surf in front of my house on the regular. I go watch the sunset at the beach and drink beers all the time. My life is, statistically speaking, better than 99.9% of the world's population. Onsies are simply objectively great for lounging, so I want a really nice one. I hope that clears things up for you :)

Anyways Amazon is running a deal on what look like glorious robes, so I'm going to grab this for $47:
http://www.amazon.com/Del-Rossa-Cotton-Hooded-Bathrobe/dp/B016NJNDKK/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top?ie=UTF8

Judging from the reviews you can get a size or two up and it's basically a onesie (no butt flap or footies though). This appears like it will have to do! Very timely Amazon. Very timely indeed.

EDIT: Hell yeah Trin.

Unfortunately those don't have footies, and also they're pretty weird even for me, which is saying a lot. I do appreciate the thought though!

There was indeed such a thing as a fashionable siren suit - so called because they allowed the wearer to leap out of bed during a bombing raid in WW2, and head for a shelter in comfort and style. They were especially popular with married women, who wanted to be able to instantly get up, grab their kids, and go (their husbands often being in military service). You could even buy paper patterns to make these suits.

But the very best onesies were made by Jermyn Street tailors, in either maroon or bottle-green velvet, or pinstripe flannel, to the specifications of Winston Churchill himself, who used them as pyjamas, daywear, and a comfy fashion statement against hardboiled Nazi chic:



Unbelievably, I can't find someone online who will supply you with one of these things in the original and best style (a proper collar and waist, two giant patch pockets on the chest, and handwarmer pockets on the hips):

When you are not a baby or a gross weirdo pretending to be a baby to get his rocks off they are not called onsies.

They are called overalls, or boiler suits. You can in fact buy warm ones.

Hope this helps you giant rich californian baby.

Yea this is the issue I had with it.

If the OP had been created differently, say with a picture of a scene from Deadwood, with old-timey pajamas, and called them something more manly, like "old-timey pajamas", maybe included a picture:




Instead the OP calls them a onesie, which is literally the first outfit babies ever wear, and then grow out of by like 1.5 years old.

I think what you're looking for is a gimp suit in a breathable material. I bet you can get some really high quality ones that are definately built to last, and they not only come with footsies but you can get a facesie too!

I was going to post an image of a comfortable gimp suit but this childs one was the second result, an ebay picture where the "listing ended as the item is no longer available". This disturbs me on a few different levels. In any case, it looks warm at least.

The term for this is generally a "Union Suit", and everyone from Carhartt to L.L. Bean to J. Crew make them. They usually don't come with hoods though, because you're supposed to be able to wear it under real, respectable clothing when not lounging around being a giant manchild.

Capitalism requires commerce, and our poor implementation of it has resulted in people being convinced that the route to being happy, and the mark of success, is purchasing things. There are only so many things you actually need at a given time, but you can always buy more toys, so toys are most of what we get sold. There's also a mix of escapism in with that, because we have pretty unhealthy societal expectations for people at the moment and so people end up exhausted and miserable and looking for something that has no chance of adding to their stress.

Also social norms don't work the same any more because you can always find a community that says X is the way to be, and you no longer have to travel thousands of miles to do so, you can just hop on the internet, which means that there's way more chance of different people in similar locations have different things they consider acceptable.

Which ones have you tried? My weekend-onesie is from OnePiece (the Norwegian ones) and sees a lot of use, it has lasted me well over a year so far. The only major problem is some red wine stains that I don't really know how to tackle.

Prices are around 800NOK here, thats roughly 100USD.

OP, I too live an indolent, alcoholic lifestyle in a desireable California location near to the beach.

My advice is two fold
1) Drink wine like a man.
2) Wear plaid flannel pants. This way you can remain comfortable year round and not have to worry about overheating during the summer.
