Long John pants are nowadays worn as a cold weather base layer mainly in countries with cold climates. This garment prevents the body from a heat loss and provides comfort throughout the whole wear. However, back in the days, Long John's main function was loungewear and later on, Long Johns became popular as pyjamas. Especially organic toddler long johns served as sleepwear. Gradually people realized the potential of this garment and how to transfer it into the best base layer for men and women for outerwear.
There's a difference between base layer vs. thermal wear that may not be obvious, but when we look at the long underwear materials, it becomes clear. The best and most commonly used material for Organic Long Johns is wool or cotton, but you can also find hemp Long Johns. Natural fibre Long Johns, like 100% wool Long Johns and organic cotton Long Johns are significant for European manufacturers and except their fire retardant qualities, those are the most comfortable materials and provide efficient insulation. Even though originally Long Johns came as one piece set, for more flexibility they've been divided into Long John pants and the top part popularly called Long Sleeve Henley T-shirt.
Long underwear brands are competing today who will be able to live up to the history and eminence of this garment, but in our opinion, there is a brand that stands out above all. Hemen Biarritz tailors underwear that reflects the ethos of time-honoured production methods and vibrant French style.
