I went down my nearest army surplus store and found a pair of these boiler suites. They have a zip up patch on the backside so you can sit on the toilet without taking them off. Also found a new black boiler suite that they get issued on the Nuclear submarines which are really heavy weight. Thanks for the tip at £10 a pair

Would one's shreddies also have a special zip? - Because without one you could run into major problems...

I get 'Portwest' from the local farm supply shop at the cattle market in the town near my parents, heavy weight, generous size and last well.

They must be "commando" army surplus!

It made me smile a couple of Billings ago to see a rack of the cheapest suits at Anchor supplies as low as £2!
These had dribbles of paint or small tears just as it was becoming fashionable to pay EXTRA for these "features!"

When I was knocking about in London a lot, (up until a couple of  years ago)  there was a place in Brick Lane market on Sundays that did ex works overalls for £2 - £3 a set, I used to grab a few from them when I was passing.
..I think they were trying to 'posh' up the area tho, so probably a wine bar now..

All in one 'combinations' are still obtainable.  The sort you used to see cowboys wearing in the old Western films.  Just make sure you are sitting down if you look up the price of them...

Brick Lane market, well worth going to. Over 30 years ago for me.

Last time i looked there was nothing left of the Brick Lane market you'd remember ( most of the good junk was actually, mainly,  in Cheshire St that crossed BL) ..there was none of the old stalls and fly pitchers etc and all the wrecked old building frontages had been re furbed , no doubt for sale to wealthy computerised youngsters with beards and the like...

I  usually buy a few pairs at the land rover 4x4 spares day. I went to Malvern on Sunday but none to be had.
I just bought 6 used pairs off ebay for £30. What will they be like i wonder.

A few. Years ago at the local agricultural show they had a dealer selling many used x factory overalls from various companies. Some really nice Land Rover ones In green with chest logo! Regret not getting them.

Another vote for Dickies

I have a set of their insulated overalls and they are roasting in the winter. Bit thicker and bulkier than normal coveralls but they certainly keep you warm inside.
