What is the Purpose of Work Overalls?

Workers choose to wear overalls for certain tasks or within particular industries because they offer full-body protection. They help shield the body, and your clothing underneath, from dirt, debris, chemicals, and other hazards commonly encountered in industrial, construction, agricultural, or mechanical settings. They can also offer protection against minor scrapes, burns, or spills.

They are designed for ease of movement, allowing you flexibility and freedom to perform physically demanding tasks. Some versions offer breathability or insulation for use in various climates, so these are great for if you work outdoors all year round.

Types of Work Overalls

The terms bib and brace overalls, boilersuits, overalls, and coveralls are often used interchangeably but they actually refer to different styles of protective workwear. Overalls itself is a broad term that can refer to bib and brace overalls or full-body workwear.

Bib & brace are traditional overalls with a "bib" that covers the chest and adjustable shoulder straps or braces, leaving the arms and shoulders uncovered. They often have multiple pockets on the front and sides. You'll often see them worn for farming, gardening, and other labour-intensive jobs; paired with other protective waterproofs.

Coveralls are full-body overalls that cover the entire torso, legs, and arms. They usually have zip or press stud fastenings, and can come with padded insulation for outdoor work in the winter. Boilersuits are a similar design, usually consisting of a one-piece suit that covers the entire body, including long sleeves and full legs, to protect against dirt, grease, and hazards. The name comes from its use in boiler rooms and for maintenance work.

Which style is best depends on your job requirements, so check out the features for each garment. For example, if you work in muddy conditions like on a farm, you will probably want something waterproof that gives you enough freedom of movement for physical work - a bib and brace would be perfect here.

Key Features of Work Overalls

Regardless of which exact type you go for, you can usually expect to find a few design features for this kind of workwear. 

Hard-wearing materials like polyester blends tend to be used for resistance to tearing or abrasion, as well as being easy to wash and keep clean. Look for extra reinforcement in high-stress areas too, particularly around the knees, pockets, and seams, for added durability.

A variety of pocket options, including chest, tool, and side pockets, often with zippers or snaps, to store tools and essentials makes life easier on the go, and breathable fabrics allow moisture to escape, keeping you cool and comfortable when the day heats up. For bib and brace overalls, adjustable straps or waistbands are ideal for a customisable fit, allowing ease of movement.

Insulated overalls are available in our wide range for working in cold environments, with added thermal linings to keep you warm. Some of our overalls also have water-resistant or waterproof membranes to protect you against rain and mud.

How to Get the Right Size for Overalls

Each brand or manufacturer may have different sizing standards for their overalls, so we recommend referring to the sizing charts on each product page and matching your measurements to their recommendations. Our customer reviews can also be a helpful guide. Check for reviews regarding fit, especially if they mention whether the overalls run large, small, or true to size.

Before you shop, it's worth getting some up-to-date measurements for your chest and waist. To get your chest size, wrap a measuring tape around the widest part of your chest, typically under the arms. For your waist, measure around your natural waistline where your trousers normally sit. Keep the tape snug but not tight. 

Since overalls are often worn over clothing, consider sizing up slightly if you plan to wear heavy workwear or layers underneath, such as hoodies, thermals, or thick fleece lined work shirts.
