About the only thing I wear since retiring is Dickies coveralls. Practically no hassles. However, after 8 - 15 years, the zipper finally gives out and unzips itself as fast as I zip it. Sometimes embarrassing! They become over clothes for painting or some such. What to do in a busy place with the next "wardrobe malfunction?" I just discovered that if you zip up the top zipper (unzipping itself as you go), then unzip that bottom zipper up to it, then zip it back down, IT STAYS ZIPPED! At least for now. Spooky!

Dave, often you can slightly bend a worn zipper guide and it completely fixes the zipper. You can google it for instructions. I have been successful over half the times I have tried. New life for a treasured garment. Give it a shot. - Mark

Aye God, here in Texas that amounts to a cloth sauna. I'd be so hot my hochies would start growing pondweed and you could plant tropical palms in my pits. No big boy pants for me in summer if I ain't riding horses ,just shorts.....Mel

My grandpa wore blue and tan coveralls just like these every day except Sunday for church. Every time I see these I cant help but think of him.
