I have an old pair from the 70’s hanging in the garage! Medium size…not sure I could squeeze in them now…! Sure wore them a lot back in the day in the jet engine shop and later in my garage. Sure saved a lot of utility uniforms from stains! Never thought much about the gas flap, but it makes sense!!! Thanks WGG for the review! I always heard there were mechanics so pilots could have hero’s! God bless the mechanics who always fixed things and made them run!!!

We used those exact same coveralls in the engineering spaces on my destroyers when I was in the US Navy on the gunline during Vietnam. 130-135 degrees in the spaces, those things would be soaked in sweat. We would roll them down to our waists and tie them off with the sleeves, roll them back up during battle stations. Bad thing about them, and I'm sure the Army guys would agree, is taking a sitting head (latrine) call.

@@WebGearReview You are welcome. We used those until the mid 1970's when the Navy started "experimenting" with uniforms. Coveralls went to lighter weights and changed color from green to black, to red, to blue. Finally went to blue with more pockets and belt loops in the early 1980's. Changed the fabric to lightweight flame retardant, too. We still rolled them down, and still had the "sitting head" problem. Same blue coveralls are still in use today, BTW.
