    Where have all the overalls gone?

    Overalls, Coveralls, Boilersuit, whatever you call them. With this cold snap I was looking for mine but they are nearly US.
    Went to town yesterday and with limited time tried to find some.
    No luck. The usual mens stores etc had none.
    I have bought some from Rivers but they had none.
    I was sent to a Work wear store. They only had them in yuk bright fluro colours that I wouldnt be seen dead in.
    I wouldnt get near the horses and would put the cows off milking in those.
    Missed a King G set on ebay ( the only one)
    There are some in the UK that look more of a fashion statement than workwear. Besides they are poly cotton and the last poly cotton I bought are full of holes where they caught fire from sparks from the angle grinder.
    The best ones I have are pure cotton ex army from a disposal store.
    But they are camo and I dont like to be seen wearing them because people think non service camo wearers are *******.

    So where can I get 100 per cent cotton farmer type coveralls?

    overalls are nowhere near as popular now

    try here
    LOD Promotions - Workwear, Safetywear, Promotional Products, Uniforms, Australia

    and here

    Hard Yakka

    i could never wear them as they always seemed way to long for my width.

    You could try a workshop supply cleaners, a place that supplies and cleans factory workwear gear. If they couldn't find you what you wanted, they could put you onto someone who could, or maybe even give you a second hand pair.

    There a lot of wild life photographers that use them because are cheaper than the camo gear that are selling in photography shops, Oh!, and I guess that they are not all pajeros
