Union suit

Depending on the size, some union suits can have a dozen buttons on the front to be fastened through buttonholes from the neck down to the groin area.

Union suits are referred to several times in Laura Ingalls Wilder's Little House on the Prairie books (1932-1971) about her family's pioneer life during the late 19th century in the United States.

The union suit is mentioned in Harper Lee's 1960 novel, To Kill A Mockingbird, which is set in the rural American South in the years 1933–35.

Dave Lister, a character from the British sci-fi sitcom Red Dwarf, which aired on BBC Two between 1988 and 1999, can be seen wearing a union suit at various points throughout the series.

In the opening to the second season of the Apple TV+ series Severance in 2025, the character of Mark Scout wears a red union suit.
