When I started out as a Heavy Equipment Mechanic many moons ago, We wore "Coveralls" You put them on over your clothes and took them off at the end of your shift. They were not insulated at all. They were a blue color sort of the same color as an older Enco lathe. I hated wearing them. But they did keep your street clothes clean. After I left that job, The other places I worked issued uniforms, Much better in my book, Put them on when you get to work and take them off before you leave.

The coveralls I hate are the Nomex coverall, cold in the winter and like wearing a rubber suit in the summer.
