索引指南

This style of underwear became known as athletic union suits because they were a combination of an athlete's shorts and vest. American manufacturer B.V.D. introduced the sleeveless style of suit in 1914 made of woven rather than knitted fabrics. They became popular in Europe and the United Kingdom by the 1920s.
