Funny you should say that. The amount of trousers and shirts i've ruined probably cost as much as the parts I fitted. I find overalls too hot and restrictive movement as well. So oldest pair of jeans to hand and denim shirt. OK so i'm a cowboy and it shows in my work as well
I do have a supply of disposable coveralls they use on the oil rigs. Very light, but when you walk outside if it's windy, they inflate, and you look like the Mitchelin man

I have a seperate section of clothes 'for garage use only'. These days this makes up more than half my clothing
Needless to say I sometimes get carried away doing a 'quick / clean' job in my clean clothes... which normally ends up in them getting filthy.
As for overalls - (Except in mid winter) I tend to avoid extra layers as I'm already well insulated.

I have a specific set of old clothes I use for dirty jobs. Usually jeans, a cotton T shirt, Doc Marten steel toe cap boots, and if it's cold either a wooly jumper or a fleece coat.
I avoid anything nylon or polyester as it tends to burn too easily when hit with sparks.

If it doesn't work, you're not hitting it with a big enough hammer.

Not being a concours entrant I tend not to bother doing jobs unless they are really dirty

I have some baggy jogging bottom type shorts - useful in Summer, and in Winter they can be used over jeans for a bit more warmth. Not the most flattering attire but coupled with the 2 jumpers, big woolly socks and the woolly hat it's a co-ordinated look

Don't know if this is too provocative... I just wear a pair of shorts, and no shirt! I find it's a lot easier to clean one pair of shorts and take a few baths than accumulate many "work" clothes as I used to...
Is rust infectious? My hands are turning red...

Roger - I was just thinking exactly the same thing, you beat me to it.

Just the thing for the 60th anniversary! I'd buy it (as long as there wasn't a beard on every page ).
