What are Coveralls?
Coverall is a general term for a shirt jacket-type work jacket. They are also known as engineer jackets, choir jackets, and railroad jackets. Such coveralls were born in 1923. It is said that “Carhartt,” known as the father of overalls and flannel shirts, created these jackets for miners and railroad workers. Therefore, many of the materials used are durable, such as denim and duck fabrics, and the appeal is that they have a rough texture and are clad in a rugged atmosphere. Because they are moderately thick and windproof, they are also highly popular as light outerwear.
Incidentally, the term “coverall” is basically used only in Japan to refer to work-style shirt jackets. In English-speaking countries, the term “coveralls” means “boiler suits,” so be careful when shopping overseas or on overseas e-commerce sites. The term “coverall” is also derived from the term “coverall,” which is used to refer to a tie-type garment for babies.
There are actually two types of coveralls! Which do you choose, the “American type” with its full masculinity or the “Euro type” with its softness?
The coverall was born in the U.S. in 1923 by Mr. Carhartt, but as it spread to France, the U.K., and other European countries, it evolved in its own way in the Euro zone. For example, the sharp collar was changed to a rounded shape, and the four pockets were changed to three. The buttons and fabrics used are also different, so each piece has its own unique atmosphere. Therefore, choose the model that best suits your taste, such as the American type for full masculinity, or the Euro type for both ruggedness and softness. Vintage Euro-type coveralls are very popular in the vintage clothing market, so if you find a model you like, it is recommended to buy it immediately.
