I had been looking for a one-piece mechanic suit for a little while, and decided on this Dickie's long sleeve one. To me, I work on my car year-round, and need a mechanic suit to protect my clothes from being ruined. I used it this past week to fix my transmission, and I was able to slide on the ground to where I needed to go easily. Here are the pro's and cons: Pros: Quality - the quality is excellent. I assumed it would be at least good enough, given that it's a Dickie's coverall. Their products are durable and high quality The Color - I thought the color was different, and I absolutely love it. I wasn't a huge fan of the dark blues or grays I saw with other coverall options (I even saw a coverall that was bright orange--tbh, it looked like a prison jumpsuit). When I saw the green, I loved it. It's a nice dark green that stands out enough for the type of suit it is. In the middle of the project, I had to make a quick trip to the hardware store to grab a couple odds and ends, and I got compliments on the color from several people. Durable - this is slightly along side of the quality, but felt that it needed it's own category. The material is excellent, and no grease or fluid from the vehicle was able to get through the coveralls. Thus far, I've used it 4 times working on my transmission/exhaust, and it's held up excellent Price - The price seemed pretty on-par with other coverall options available on Amazon. No, I didn't look elsewhere, and I'm sure there is a great website that offers all kinds of coveralls. For my application, I just needed one, as this isn't my daily attire. For what you pay for, you get a quality coverall that will last. Prime Wardrobe - Since I didn't know what size I would need, I ordered this using Prime Wardrobe. I had never used Prime Wardrobe before (tbh, I don't know how many times I will need to, as I don't purchase clothes all too often, especially online), but this helped a lot. Both the sizes I selected got here the same day, and I was able to try them on immediately, and return them easily. If you are on the fence of what size you'll need, and you have Prime, utilize this option. It saved a lot of aggravation for the try-on process, definitely. Cons: Sizing - the sizing, naturally, is made for men. I'm a woman and it was difficult to find a size that fit "just right". Given the fact that I have a woman's hips, I had to get a mens XL to accommodate that. Everywhere else is baggy. I could always take it to a tailor to have the entire rest of the suit taken in, but you want the suit a little baggy anyway. If there's a female looking for one of these suits (as I'm sure there will be), look for your hip size in the men's chart, and order that size. It seems to be true to fit/the sizing chart. I hope that in the future (if they don't already), Dickie's will start offering coveralls for women (they don't need to be hot pink or anything like that, just make them in our sizes to allow for our curves). This was the biggest upset for these coveralls. Also, Amazon, you need to get on the bandwagon here. I looked up "women's coveralls" and nothing came up. Trades are picking up with not just men, but women too. Since more women are entering into trades, it would be a good idea to have options for them for coveralls. ...For men, they will probably fit fine, as long as you select your correct size.
