I can't get the link to work, it just takes me to eBay start page.That's because a space was inserted before the actual number, 173903763820.
Try the link when assembled correctly. Proof reading, even forum posts, is not a waste of time.
auction: #173903763820Note that you have to be the 'correct' size, somewhere close to the size of a fit combat person. The details are in the advert. As with typical services sizing, it is in metric, height / chest.
Search eBay for 'army coveralls afv' to find other stockists that might hold different sizes.
Regards.

Cheers fir that as link took me to my order but others to home page didn’t see space but glad you did , yes military overalls goes by you build order slightly bigger than you are to ensure a nice fit giving you option to wear a jumper underneath otherwise they are tight as I like a bit of free space to move in them.

O eve you have the sizing right your sorted.
I unstitch the pencil pocket inside stitches and a phone goes in nicely. Always wear a marker lanyard to remind me to remove before washing. Guess how I found out!

Avoid polycotton if welding as spatter will make holes quite readily.
Dickies redhawk are generous cut, but bobble up a bit.

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 :cheers

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

These had dribbles of paint or small tears just as it was becoming fashionable to pay EXTRA for these "features!"

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...

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

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.
