100% Cotton Drill Multi Pocket White Boiler Suit Coverall, Decorators Protective Overall Dungarees for Painting & Decorating, Work Jobs, Heavy Duty Fabric - 50"

Spring is in the air and the windows, doors and walls look shabby and dusty. I resolve to tidy up and refresh the paintwork. However I am endlessly interrupted, people call, dogs need walking, children collecting... So I must do what I can when I can, rather than keep a special set of clothes for painting. I can wear my everyday stuff, safely under wraps beneath these generously cut, thickly woven white cotton painters overalls.They say they are pre shrunk, so will happily go through the required wash, hand or machine, spin or wring, at 40 degrees. However mine did come out a bit smaller after such a wash so be sure to order in a generous size for you. Mine at 38" are still fine for size, I am size 12, they could be folded up if too long in leg or arm. The legs are quite baggy. You can put your hands straight through to your own clothes for pocket access. They have their own deep side pockets, top pocket, back pocket and leg pocket for a ruler, say. Buttons and button holes are well inserted down the front, A proper collar stands tidily up, and at the back there is a ruched elastic waistband to adjust to your size. The overalls are well made, neatly sewn, they do appear to be top quality.No problems when you bend over, no unexpected exposure; it feels nice to be all of a piece, together as it were. Looking the part is halfway to doing a good job,I always wonder at celebrities on these makeover programmes as they set off to paint a room in their normal clothes, Lawrence Llewellyn Bowen's long cuffs especially!

Following advice from previous buyers I ordered 2 sizes bigger than my chest measurement. After washing, the overalls are a good fit across the shoulders, but the legs are far too long (I am 5'9" tall). The sewing of the buttons and buttonholes is a bit slapdash but generally a good product for the price. I like the several pockets.

Product good quality. Took advice and purchased a size larger as suggested by other reviewers as being cotton they shrink on initial washing.My only issue was that of delivery which was four weeks and outside the quoted delivery dates. Based on many years of buying through Amazon I feel that time period was excessive.Hence three stars for the product but none for delivery.

This is a very good quality overall. 100% cotton with buttons and plenty of pockets. But the sizing is completely wrong. 48" is just right for a 40" chest man with a 36" waist. It will shrink for the first few washes so don't sew the hems of the trousers if they need shortening until after a few washes.

As described, fits well and is of a decent material that the paint does not absorb through. 10 out of 10 cannot fault them. These were for a professional painter and decorator
