REME 245 Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 It would probably help if you stated what period but if war-time for that size you will need to get them made up or get a tailor to convert something civilian still in production.

STUNTMAN Posted March 10, 2019 Author Share Posted March 10, 2019 I'm wanting them to be wartime but I've seen plenty of "classic" style ones with same button fastening & waist tie that are mechanics overalls but are white,which isn't an issue as I can get them dyed blue or altered,I had some blue YTS ones in the 80s which thinking back would have done the job now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MatchFuzee Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 On 3/8/2019 at 10:01 PM, STUNTMAN said: no probs if different colour as can change Modern cotton overalls are extremely likely to have polyester thread stitching, which means when you use a dye for cotton the stitches remain their original colour.
