Do they make some without the poxy buttons on cuffs?

Like my New Holland ones, extra length in the leg compared to Dickies but those buttons don't lost long when spending a winter taking net wrap off bales.

i've had a pair of valtra ones for about 5 years now, getting to the point where i've set them on fire too many times and need some new ones, but no rips, comfy, warm. theres a rubbishy velcro breast pocket for a phone which has fallen apart, but other than that all the pockets are fine.
Will probably tear a leg off when i go to put them on now...
 
You cannot beat these they are brilliant, much better than Dickies.

I haven't had the standard Portwest ones, but did have a couple of the deluxe ones. The poppers were crap, some of them fell out as they hadn't been "riveted" properly. One pair was marked the same size as the other but was definitely a full size larger. They were made of heavier fabric than Dickies but I wouldn't say they were "brilliant".

Bought a couple of pairs and they are a little on the large size(ordered xl) may have to give a pair my bro.(n)
And a pair of 'reduced to clear' small mens overalls pour moi:) Sadly they still don't repel cow sh*t, however, I like the little flaps over the top pockets to stop the sh*t dropping on your phone, and the zips on the 'pop hole for when you want to re adjust yourself' side pockets are good. Legs are about 3 inches too long but that's my fault for being a short arse(n)

anybody had any experience with lely overalls? lots of my friends have them but only for light use so they cant really rate them!

had mine about a year now the red and black ones and still going well the zip did break on them last week but still the popers light weight anouth to wear in the summer but not to thin that there no use in winter

Best I've used are Rolls Royce, a mate did a stint there but never wore his issued overalls. The make is Djupvik, but I can't find a UK importer.
You can get these in Aberdeen. A fairly standard boiler suit in the offshore industry. If you can't find them as may be a large order type deal thing, they are either Danish or Norwegian. Both efficient countries, just order them on line

I've got a pair made by Rawlinson, whoever they are, velcro seals on wrists and ankles and all pockets, plus velcro down the front, they were made to MOD spec. apparently to stop any tools falling out of the pockets when the wearer is upside down. Might come in handy one day..

Don't like Velcro, I get wool and hay and general animal hair stuck in it . Then it's useless.
