I think I'll just have to get a decent overalls and wear it all the time when on the boat..
I just get too dirty doing random things.
Never managed to find a comfortable one so I wonder if there is any particular brand anyone would recommend.
Happy with any colour.
6ft2.576in tall skinny male.
I seem to remember lack of movement around shoulder area making the thing uncomfortable when I tried one years ago.
I usually wreck a pair of trousers within a few days and no they don't wash clean.

Overalls (the working man’s onesie) will probably be a problem due to your height, especially if you have a longer body rather than longer legs and maybe the reason for the restriction at your shoulders.
there are companies which cater for this, a quick google confirmed it

The rafia hat with a boiler suit will make you look like something out of the Beverly Hillbillies.
You'll never get away from banjo music.

Can't recommend one but definitely wouldn't recommend the one Stuart on 'Annie' (the miserable coal man) Has worn every day for the past 10 years come rain, shine or snow.

Jeans off of Ebay (Levis), shirt from charity shop, sweatshirt for me, and an old pair of trainers. Overalls are too hard to put on, a bit 'floppy' when you bend over, and you look like a Womble. That's what I currently do but go through the Levi's very fast.

Rog The raffia hat is being kept aside as it is more or less worn out. I have been planning to repair it by stitching on a face mask but that might look a bit nutty. Also I was being typecast as the bloke with the raffia hat so things had to change.

My lungs do not fit on one x-ray so yes quite a long torso.

Try a Bib & Brace, covers the vital bits that get grubby but leaves the shoulders and arms free. Even with a thick jumper on they are adjustable to fit comfortably.

Ive never gotten to grips with overalls... I have a long body and they always felt like they were cutting my crotch in half cause my shoulders were pulling them up. These days it's just easier to wear shorts (legs wash easily enough) or when it's really cold, I have one pair of old painting Jeans (Jeff banks I think ) and an old Wakefield Wildcats oversized fleece sweatshirt.
