From LoveToKnow Lingerie
Fruit of the Loom long underwear is a perfect way to keep your body warm when it's cold outside.
About Fruit of the Loom
The Fruit of the Loom company has been making undergarments since the late 1800's and continues to be one of the most well known brand names in history. Fruit of the Loom operated successfully until 1999 when, due to, among other things, poor financial decisions made by former CEO, William F. Farrely, the company filed for bankruptcy.
Everyone thought the venerable name brand in undergarments was done for good, but Warren Buffet didn't think so. Buffet's company Berkshire Hathaway purchased the virtually insolvent company, keeping one of the most widely recognized brand names around the globe, in business.
Though Fruit of the Loom remains one of the biggest sellers of men's underwear in the world, it also sells other products, including:
- Women's under garments – This includes underwear, t-shirts and tank tops.
- Children's underwear – The very popular "Underoos" are made by Fruit of the Loom.
- Sleepwear – For men, women and children.
- Long underwear – Fruit of the Loom manufactures and sells long underwear for men, women and children.
About Long Underwear
Like most all brands of long underwear, Fruit of the Loom's are sold in the typical waffle design. The tiny pockets in the waffle design keep your body warm by trapping body heat and holding it against your skin. The waffle weave design works so well for long underwear that it hasn't really changed that much in hundreds of years. Long underwear is also often referred to thermal underwear due to its heat retaining qualities.
Though you can still find the original union suit design, most modern long underwear is sold in separate tops and bottoms.
