Is that because you hate America?
Seriously, though, I’ve been in Nordstrom and seen the table in the men’s department covered in Lacoste polo shirts that cost around a hundred bucks, versus the ones I was wearing from Lands End for a third or a quarter of that. I was tempted to find a salesperson to ask them to explain the price difference. (And that hundred-dollar polo shirt has the stupid alligator embroidered on the left breast. Virtually all of my clothes are free of such nonsense.)
Leave these people alone. Don’t they have enough to deal with already?
“They’re all going to laugh at you!”
I lit a pair of $800 Ferragamo loafers on fire once. Just to watch them burn.
I’m not allowed back into that store anymore.
The thing about the onesie is …
If you found out that you didn’t like it (ie, that it didn’t look particularly good on you) – a nearly inconceivable hypothetical – you could make a killing on it in the secondary onesie (a/k/a “twosie”) market.

I just don’t see how you could lose.
Now, those around you, OTOH …
These do go for above retail because they are are fairly limited. This batch sold out in about a week.
At Nordstrom - no. Nordstrom sales is trained in answering those kinds of questions and will explain what you’re getting for your money (and show that part of what you’re getting is excellent customer service, which is one of the reasons I shop at Nordstrom. They treat customers well; I think that’s worth paying for)
At other stores, YMMV.
Anyway, back to the OP - for women, things like that are comfortable, but inconvenient. In order to pull down the bottoms, you have to figure out what to do with the tops and there are no great solutions. It might be easier for men.
I know why the Burberry tie costs what it costs. I just need them to get me my shoe size from the back and refund my returns when I change my mind.
I had no idea Dr. Rusty Venture was a poster here!
The only adult onesies I was forced to wear the Mormon magic underwear. The traditional type was one piece, with flaps so you didn’t have to take it all off for going to the bathroom.
They didn’t have any buttons, so they had massive neck holes. You would step into them then bring them up over your shoulders.
Fortunately, they introduced two-piece underwear and I never looked back. I would never consider a onesie ever for the rest of my life.
Ok, since you guys have brought this up, I have to ask - are you not supposed to wear underwear under these things? Because I can’t see how a flap helps if you’re wearing skivvies too…
They look like the kind of old-fashioned bathing suits men used to wear prior to WWI. I can’t see anyone wearing one of these and expect to be taken seriously.
The Mormon underwear is underwear and you wear that as a replacement for anything else. Answering the question, I realized that I had no idea what women would do during their periods if they preferred pads, so googling shows that they can wear underwear under them. Now the garments are two-piece so it’s not as bad as when they were one-piece but I still imagine how inconvenient that would be. Good god, that must have involved a lot of undressing just to use the bathroom.
As a note, make sure the butt flaps really are pulled all they way open when doing a No. 2.
If you lift your arms up over your head, you’ll give yourself a wedgie.
As usual, Rule 34.
Winston Churchill saved Great Britain while wearing a onesie, by God!
As to the issue of how one defecates while wearing a boiler suit: navy vets recall hie the ship’s snipes would simply shove their skivvy undershorts down and flop the top portion over their knees while sitting on the commode.
Camouflage one-piece battle dress had been tested by the Marines in WWII, but rejected because the navy procedure described above is not as easy when shitting into a cat-hole in the field, and the Marines stayed in their two-piece herringbone twill. As it worked out, the prevalence of dysentery made the issue moot: the grunts went without underwear, and many cut slits in the bottom of their trousers for ease of access.
Further into the unsolicited topic how how soldiers shit, Zouaves wore practical sirwal trousers that were essentially two fabric cones with leg openings at the tips, their bases overlapping at the waist. They could be drawn apart like curtains when relieving oneself. Their originators the Arabs squat even if its only to pee (an omission Sir Richard Burton made while infiltrating Mecca that almost cost him his life) but French and American Zouaves would dribble onto themselves if peeing while upright.
I grew up just a tad bit earlier when pantsuits and bodysuits were a big deal for women. Total PITA. They even put snaps in the crotch of the bodysuit so we could poop if necessary. But then we had to find the ends of the snaps to put them back together while inside a tiny toilet stall at the disco. Crazy.
It reminds me of the gym suits that were worn by girls in the 60’s and 70’s. They were navy blue with either elastic legs of short legs (if you were lucky).
Then the gym clothes moved to white tshirt and normal shorts.
I received the medium I ordered. I’ll post some pictures when I try it on, but I expect the large will be a better fit.
