I was thinking from a practical standpoint they make sense in a lot of ways.
Belt and boab pulling pants down is no longer an issue
Get the bib embroidered on a couple pairs and wear any shirt you like underneath, thus simplifying the purchase and laundering of uniforms
Probably very durable and long-lasting, if purchased from a company like carhartt.
Can insert knee pads; handy when cleaning low windows and sills.
Extra pockets for tools, TDS readers, pens, etc.
Unique look that prospects and customers will definitely remember
Cons:
Could be hot in the summer
Might make you look like a hillbilly to some customers
I personally wouldn’t want to wear them. Think of how heavy they’d be hanging on your shoulders. Slinging a squeegee all day, you want to limit weight on your shoulders and arms.
I believe @Dangerous wears them. He knows how to make them look good, like a true son of ettore, while stacking those sectional ladders. Me? I know I’d look like a complete dork.
I’ve worn overalls for different types of work (construction and farm work). This is going to sound weird (like really weird), but they always rub my nipples raw.
Anytime I carried a lot of tools with overalls on for a long time, I’d get a pretty gnarly rash on the area where the overalls continually rubbed back and forth. That said, they are super useful because of all the pockets, hammer loop, etc.
I thought about doing this, name yourself Overall window cleaning etc. depending on the jean material overalls are sometimes cooler than a tucked in shirt. Not to mention you don’t have to worry about shirts coming untucked and plumber’s crack showing!
Farmer’s wear them all the time down here in Tn and they don’t seem to care
Snickers workwear overalls may be a better choice as they are made from the same material as there trousers.Probably would nt melt as much in them compared to regular denim ones.
Go for it, at the very least they make excellent lawn mowing/yard work clothes that you don’t have to constantly pull up your pants when you’ve been sweating all day
