in thinking 35 is too young for this?

[scaryjane]

So DH went shopping for 'thermal underwear' yesterday. Fair enough thinks I, it's bloomin' cold.

However, instead of coming home looking like this he has bought a 3 pack of <a class="break-all" href="http://www.google.co.uk/imgres?imgurl=britwear.co.uk/new/images/products/MT118_Mens%2520Thermal%2520Underwear%2520Sleeveless%2520Vest.jpg&imgrefurl=britwear.co.uk/new/live/products/2_Thermal%2520Underwear/2_Thermal%2520Underwear.php5%3Fsubcat%3D5&usg=__MNBHFZ5Q4Ad3m2k0wnh21EsQVpQ=&h=338&w=300&sz=11&hl=en&start=26&zoom=1&tbnid=wWawUEpIyVnzJM:&tbnh=138&tbnw=119&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dthermal%2Bunderwear%26um%3D1%26hl%3Den%26cr%3DcountryUK%257CcountryGB%26client%3Dsafari%26rls%3Den%26biw%3D1436%26bih%3D780%26tbs%3Disch:1,ctr:countryUK%257CcountryGB0%2C628&um=1&itbs=1&iact=hc&vpx=456&vpy=239&dur=2713&hovh=238&hovw=211&tx=116&ty=134&ei=j2HyTMvBIced4Qaj-JnIAQ&oei=imHyTJeOEMG1hAex7ICqCg&esq=2&page=2&ndsp=36&ved=1t:429,r:11,s:26&biw=1436&bih=780" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">these

AIBU: surely these 'old man' vests?? It's not thermals I object to, just being married to Albert Steptoe.

So we will abide by MN jury decision - should he put them away for 25 years, or should I accept I am married to an old man?

you have long johns in the picture on the link - they look good - no?

I do - oops
try this

YANBU - tell him he's not getting his leg over until he gets some modern thermals and ditches the granpa underwear!

Hahahaha My DH wears long johns, he feels the cold poor lamb and works outside. Longjohns are an improvement on my tights...you haven't seen anything til you've seen a guy in boxers and tights!

There's nothing wrong with coloured longjohns - white ones (on men) are just 'orrible.

I actually wouldn't mind long johns - or even tights - worn by young and old alike to serve a purpose, but these. . .? One step away from here?

YABVU. WHo can see them!? let the poor fucker be warm

They just don't seem as warm as the T shirt types either. If you are going to wear thermals, get full benefit, no?

My dh has just kitted himself out in them too. Its a trial getting them off to wash He loves them. I think I will take up knitting and join him in geriatric bliss.

Compromise - he should wear them as normal when going out, but needs to remove them well before any potential bedroom action.

perfumedlife pmsl @ take up knitting and join him in geriatric bliss

cocopops but I can see them through his shirt

My DH has worn vests like these since I met him when we were teenagers! I ribbed him then and now, but the truth is, he's never cold. He's canadian and they are infinitely more practical about cold weather clothing. You can't see them under clothes and they are now like his signature clothing to me! Embrace the vest!

You are absolutely being unreasonable! My Dh has always worn a vest, totally normal where he's from. It is so frickin cold let the poor man wrap up in peace and don't be makin him all self conscious (says she wearing 4 layers of clothing proudly )

My DH is Aussie and is a wimp a bit delicate about the cold weather. He wears all kinds of thermals and I think he looks sexy in them! He DOES have a v good body....so if your husband has a good bod too then he should look good in anything!

Well personally, I wouldn't kick this guy out of bed. Mmm, vesty goodness

but where do you draw the line? here?

My DH calls those "wifebeaters"...

Well, no wonder he needs thermals if his shirts are thin enough to see vests through! I don't know, you could get him some new shirts for Christmas... or better, some thermal tops with sleeves. Warmer, and look better!

Don't understand the problem. It's cold. Layer up. Or should we all just burn more fossil fuel in the interest of maintaining aesthetic standards?

haha - thermal 'porn' underwear
ok I'll stop googling thermal underwear images now

Oh good lord. I may never have sex again after seeing that scaryjane

No, WDIKA certainly not , it's what he chooses to layer up with that's the problem!

oh brilliant, dh just needs a tash and he's there

Pity me - my husband is growing a tash for Movember AND wears a vest, even when it is not cold, because, apparently, his other clothes itch him. sobs

Uniqlo are good for thermals. Definitely not old mannish
