I like claas boiler suits ,bit long in the leg but I am a a bit of a monster but perfect otherwise. Got a black JD , manitou and kuhn but only wear class. The new thing is the bib and brace for the cool dudes .

Rubbish zips.

Pockets too shallow.

Is there anywhere that will put your company name on overalls?

Id suggest the dark brown ones they hide the dirt best
Before finding the diuble skin ones i had sime single skin light brown one's and after a year they faded to a magnolia colour and showed every grease stain looked like id had a dodgy accident

I have a mate that works on the oil rigs And he happens to be the same size as me, the boiler suits he gives me are far superior to any of the claas, jd or kv ones I've worn in the past. Seem to last forever. Also fireproof so handle a few sparks from the grinder etc.

Can't stand overalls - hate them
Winter time it's Wrangler jeans
Summer time it Canterbury "rugger" shorts
Shirt is always long sleeved heavy cotton drill "half button front", with a blue Bonds singlet underneath - summer & winter

Sock savers

VERY common actually, stop grass seeds & stuff sticking to your socks, stops any sh!t going down into your boots

Couldn't imagine working in shorts without them

The problem I always seem to have is the legs work their way up and over my wellies without me noticing and get covered in muck.

My 'Sunday best' are a Kverneland pair. I expect they would be quite expensive (given them for testing some plough metal for them years ago.

Kverneland boilersuits are the boilersuit of choice round these parts, nearly everybody wears one, to the extent that I was once told in Stirling mart that it's the "tuxedo "for my locality - it's how you recognise someone comes from my area.
Since I am ridiculously vain, it is important that one's boilersuit does make one look like a pie gobbling, cake munching fat barsteward, and Kv and Claas score well on this criteria

They're also pretty hardwearing too.

I've some New Holland overalls, they fit quite well, elasticated waist is quite good.

But they damn things seem to snag on everything, both back pockets are ripped and one of the front pocket openings got torn the other day.

Much, much worse if you've eaten something dodgy and they are tight across the shoulders. That can induce something near a catastrophic panic

"Freebie" Lely ones aren't bad but the zips are poor
