I’ve been wearing the EG jumpsuit that someone linked to on Y!JP for the last month or so quite frequently. @dieworkwear is right: after a while it becomes no longer self-conscious to wear a jumpsuit in public.

Any cool jumpsuits that are for sale and I can actually browse online?

What I actually look like if I wear a jumpsuit:


But this has not stopped me from wanting to get a jumpsuit.

Can't believe I never saw this thread. This was definitely my fantasy around age 10 - I liked to imagine myself working along side Charlie's Angels - I always saw myself wearing one of these slim fit jumpsuits. I pictured it with short sleeves, in a safari tan linen (or double knit poly more likely).

A local vintage dealer just posted this one in his insta stories.

Saw this and thought of you. A linen one might be really nice

Not sure if anyone's already posted, nor if this fits the vibe of the thread

@troika love! the doggies, so sweet! I have not seen those photos. I posted a pic of Churchill with the chalkstrip suit and lizard loafers earlier on. those pix are totally on point for thread vibe.

i know jumpsuits are kinda dumb, but right now they just feel kinda right.

Anyway, I briefly tried this last winter but couldn't find the right body/leg length combination.

I think the only tolerable option is something similar to that Harnden model aka old workwear 1:1 copy : cotton twill, buttons front, wide legs.

A cheap and readily available milsurp option that fits those criteria is the old US army type 1 coveralls in od green sateen cotton from up until the 1970s or so (I think), there's a later version that's still 100% cotton but with velcro closure jumpsuit, wear, which sucks.
You may need to size up.

Hey I'm hoping everyone here can help me out with something. This year my oldest has suddenly decided that he wants to dress as Fett for Halloween! I have the armor with the vest attached, jetpack, belts, and other accessories from my older costume that I've not actually finished... Which leads to my question, where would you all suggest I go to locate at least the jumpsuit? He's not looking at trooping (at least not yet) but wants to at least have the jumpsuit heading in the right direction and at least get some gloves that are close. Time is of course an issue since we're just shy of a week away from the day.
