|
|
I'm trying to find some vintage style overalls. I'd like some like the ones Historica do ( http://www.historicaracewear.com/vintage-race-overalls/farina-vintage-race-overalls ) but at a more realistic price. Don't want zips. Browny kind of khaki colour (like the warehouse coat Arkwright wore in Open all hours!) Army surplus places used to do them but no more. Any ideas anyone?
Cheers |

Can't help, but you remind me of the requirements for mechanics at the Revival. They all have to wear white, and as far as I can discern many of the "mechanics" have changed occupation and become "painters". Their white overalls are far far cheaper than Goodwood ones! |

White just seems like a silly colour for overalls. Those on ebay Rick are just what I'm after but they are too big for me. The search goes on.

100% cotton? I can't imagine Arkwright shelling out for that... |

Saw a few good 'period' type overalls at Beaulieu at the weekend. All seemed very pricey. I liked an Arkright style jacket overall that had Regent patches on it. _________________ Various Rootes Vehicles. |
