Jehudah Design Posted June 10, 2008 Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 Good evening. I have a question for you all. In my website, I have put up a page about my Stormtrooper costume, and have various pages in it named whatever costume elements are in there, such as "The helmet", "The armor", and so on. I have a page currently set up as "Jumpsuit", but I'm not really sure if jumpsuit is the correct name for the black tight thing worn by troopers. I've seen so far - "Jumpsuit" "Undersuit" "Bodyglove" "Underarmor" "Underoos?" "Bodysuit" "Dance Leotard" "Unitard" "TK Skivvies" So which one is it? Undersuit is sort of my new favorite now and sounds the most right in my opinion. I'm not really sure what a jumpsuit is either so... Thanks.

rogue4ngel Posted June 10, 2008 Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 Under Armor (sport suits0 and Body Glove (Dive Skins) are just different brands of suits. I liked Under Armor before I knew it was an actual brand.. since that is what it is... a suit worn under your armor . I never liked jumpsuit or undersuit. Sounds like something you'd wear for ballet. Or underoos. lol. Anyone remember those? Anyway.. just my .02 worth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
journeymanprotector Posted June 10, 2008 Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 I call it a 'bodysuit' Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smitty Posted June 10, 2008 Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 I call it all "underarmor" it works better in this hobby than in the sports industry with that name. but some may call it a dance leotard...or better yet, a unitard. TK Skivvies is kinda cute. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jehudah Design Posted June 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 Hehe, even more options, and yeah I thought afterwards that Under Armor was a brand. I'll add these all to the list then. Bodysuit sounds like it fits pretty well too in my opinion. The other funny ones were just added to have them all there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murray1134[501st] Posted June 10, 2008 Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 I think Under Armor works pretty good. Maybe Undersuit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK8114[TK] Posted June 10, 2008 Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 under armor not to be confused with Under Armour of course (although they make good under armor) Confused yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jehudah Design Posted June 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 Hehe, yeah, pretty much Perhaps there should be a vote? It would be nice to have an "official" name for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jehudah Design Posted June 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2008 I sort of like Bodysuit now. Is Bodysuit at least better than Jumpsuit? To me Jumpsuit sounds like something that is made out of synthetic material and is very baggy, like an X-wing fighters suit, and Bodysuit sounds more like the explanation of what it is - When worn, it really does look like a body afterall since it's skin tight. Should I change my website page to "Bodysuit" then? Thanks. Dark Side Sith Lord. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daetrin[Admin] Posted June 18, 2008 Report Share Posted June 18, 2008 If you want to be generic I'd use "body suit". That said, it seems UnderArmor is fast becoming the Kleenix (or Xerox) of body suits, e.g. used to describe any kind of suit worn under armor, regardless of make.

Ketariniii Posted June 18, 2008 Report Share Posted June 18, 2008 I cant help but call it under armor, got one for my class 3 vest, and one for my Tk ^.^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jehudah Design Posted June 19, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2008 In my opinion, I think Under Armor sounds like an armor that you wear under something else, rather than something you wear under the armor, and you all know the black tights don't work that good as armor, but I don't know. I guess I'll go with "Bodysuit" for my website then. Thanks for all yer help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gypsyboy Posted June 21, 2008 Report Share Posted June 21, 2008 I think "undersuit" is probably the most descriptive and most widely used term for what it is. An undersuit is literally a soft, close-fitting, full-body garment intended to be worn under some type of "functional" attire - such as for diving, or what an astronaut would wear underneath the "space suit". I dont' want to make this sound pedantic, but - "Jumpsuit" = typically loose-fitting, and worn as the external garment. "Undersuit" = typically worn under other functional garments. "Bodyglove" = typically associated with dancewear and such. "Underarmor" = a trade name. "Underoos?" = a trade name. And also typically refers to underwear. "Bodysuit" = typically worn as the only, or external garment. "Dance Leotard" = self-explanitory LOL "Unitard" = typically associated with dance/aerobics/etc. "TK Skivvies" = just plain silly.

Jehudah Design Posted July 1, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2008 Hmm, undersuit, perhaps perhaps. I guess you have a point, but I don't know if it will sound "cool" in my website "The Assembly Of The Undersuit" Perhaps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jehudah Design Posted July 2, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2008 Hmm, perhaps we should just ask Mr. Lucas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
