Overview From the versatility of 90s fashion to the practicality of work attire, overalls and coveralls have found their place in our wardrobes. Whether you want to make a fashion statement or need a durable garment for hard work, Garment Printing offers custom designs for these iconic pieces.
Overalls Overalls (bib-and-brace overalls) are a one-piece garment composed of trousers, a bib, and shoulder harnesses extending over the shoulders. They are typically made of a lighter, more breathable material and are designed to be worn over regular apparel. Overall encompass the wearer’s legs and most of their torso, excluding the shoulders covered by the straps. Trousers are intended to be worn over other garments, typically a pair of workear trousers and a t-shirt at minimum.
Overall and Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) In PPE, overalls protect against hazards at work, especially in industries like construction, painting, and manufacturing. Made from materials resistant to cuts, chemicals, heat, and cold, they offer a shield for the body against workplace accidents. Coveralls As implied by their name, coveralls literally “cover all” of the body except for the head, hands, and feet. Coveralls, unlike overall, wrap around and cover the shoulders of the wearer, forming a one-piece jumpsuit designed to be worn over regular apparel.
Coveralls vs. Bibs Coveralls and bibs are similar in purpose but differ in design. Coveralls are a one-piece garment covering the entire body, while bibs, akin to overalls without the integrated top, only extend from the waist down and are held up by suspenders.
Conclusion In conclusion, overalls and coveralls are practical and fashionable, with each garment having unique characteristics and uses. Whether you choose between them for work or fashion, the decision should ultimately depend on your needs and personal style. Both garments have a place in professional and casual wardrobes. Overalls and coveralls protect work environments, particularly where manual labour is involved.
