isitafox Posted April 26, 2014 Report Share Posted April 26, 2014 Need to sort a new pair of overals out but I want something comfy. At the moment I have a pair of Dickies which are absolutely huge on me (had to get a massive size as I have a long upper body) and a pair of John Deere Dickies which are tiny. Basically gonna get covered in cow shit so need to be zip up and preferably have velcro or elasticated cuffs, anyone use some super sexy ones? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trialsalot Posted April 27, 2014 Report Share Posted April 27, 2014 Not got your orange ones from DB? Super uncomfy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross McArthur Posted April 29, 2014 Report Share Posted April 29, 2014 Might be able to sort you out with a few pairs if you want them? We had to chuck all of ours in the bin at the end of the contract because none of the clothing bin charity shops would take them. Should have a few large sets still kicking about. Decent condition too. Let me know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobinJI Posted April 29, 2014 Report Share Posted April 29, 2014 We use these for servicing when rallying. waterproof, well made and very hard wearing. The only downside's that they're bloody warm, which is great in the winter but hopeless in the summer. (unless all you're doing's rushing around under a car for a few minutes every hour or 2.) I'd have generally said you probably want something designed/sold for farming, it tends to be better value and often harder wearing than stuff for mechanics or racing.

Skoze Posted April 29, 2014 Report Share Posted April 29, 2014 (edited) I bought some from army surplus a few years a go, been great - even stopped an angle grinder when I dropped it on my arm. Good for just covering yourself up, if you want something like Robin posted thought they're about as far removed as you can get...

isitafox Posted April 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2014 I'd look at farming stuff but it's either the dickies I have or tractor branded stuff (£50-60 a pair!). Might have to stick with another pair of dickies! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N.Wood Posted April 29, 2014 Report Share Posted April 29, 2014 I use a Dickies redhawk and a Dickies branded version of what Robin posted. In only wear them occasionally when we are doing open hole rotary drilling but both seem to work pretty well. I guess getting the right size is key though, I did wear a Redhawk that was too small for a while and i had a wedgie all day long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
