Get a pair of these, they are great. I wore them today, very warm, no need for a heater.

The only problem is that whenever I buy overalls I end up looking like the kid at the end of the film big, with an extra foot of material in the arms and legs and a crotch half way to my knees. Wished they'd do a shortar8ed version.

We were on about them last week, I was up the store for 8 not to be dissapointed and got me some in blue! Then spent the day cleaning the garage in a t shirt and the overalls despite the -8c outside and snow everywhere, they are v good!

I've told 4 others too who have all gone and bought them but the general concensus is they are a bit nice to wear in the garage! lol

How big are you?

I'm 5'7" 44" chest and the mediums are great. I did get large but they were mahoosive. The medium says 38-40 on it but it's way bigger

I got XL, but I am 6'2" and 14.5 stone, fits a treat, even with jeans and a fleece on underneath.

got a medium today after seeing Steves. Perfect fit.
Getting another tomorrow.

Should we all wear them at the next show at Stoneleigh ?
All turn out in them in the evening !!

Yeah all we need now is the shop to open selling LCB sew on patches!

I'm 5 5 so maybe I'll try the mediums as well then.

I'm 5'8" ish, so you should be ok, you won't need bigger.

When I'm working in the garage, I wear a thermal vest, a long - sleeved thermal skiing base layer, then 2 thermal fleeces (complete with angrygrinder burn marks ), then a thermal zippy - wooly - bear jacket, all covered by an overall. Not forgetting the mountain - biking padded but fingerless gloves (PINK) with various different gloves over the top depending on what I'm working on - and the ubiquitous thermal wooly hat - essential!


And that's in summer!!!
