boilersuits

One-piece work garments

A boilersuit is a loose-fitting one-piece garment covering the torso and legs, worn over regular clothes to protect them during dirty work.

The name comes from workers who maintained coal-fired boilers.

Americans more often say coveralls or overalls.

The mechanic wiped his hands on his boilersuit.
