Boilersuit

A boilersuit (or boiler suit), also known as coveralls, is a loose fitting garment covering the whole body except for the head, hands and feet.

The term boilersuit is most common in the UK, where the 2023 edition of the Oxford English Dictionary lists the word as having been first used on 31 July 1883 in the Liverpool Mercury newspaper.

The "siren suit" favoured by Winston Churchill (but also worn by many others in the UK when air raids were a threat) during the Second World War was closely similar to a boilersuit.

Pete Townshend of The Who frequently wore a white boiler suit during performances and in publicity photographs from 1969-71.
