Coveralls are loose-fitting body suits designed to protect underneath pieces of clothing. A coverall covers the whole body, except for the head, feet, and hands. This one piece of protective clothing is typical among individuals who work in dangerous or dirty environments. They include firefighters, engineers, medical professionals, and factory workers, to mention a few (skip straight to the coverall size charts).

Coveralls are often made of waterproof heavy cotton fabrics to prevent the absorption of liquids. It is worth noting that coveralls are different from overalls. Coveralls are a single light material covering, while overalls are made of two pieces: the leggings and the bib.

When choosing appropriate coveralls for your job description and considering the stocked colors, price, ideal distributor, and the variety of fabric types available, you should also prioritize the coverall size.

How to Choose the Right Coverall Size

Choosing perfectly fitting coveralls is often daunting because different brands have distinct sizing. So how do you ensure you pick the right size for overalls? The following are factors to consider to zone in on correct overall dimensions.

1. Inseam size

Before you begin your hunt for ideal coveralls to keep your body from contact with harmful or dirty elements, you should determine your inseam measurements. Inseam refers to the distance between the ankle and the uppermost part of your thighs.

To determine your inseam size, use a tape measure to gauge the measurements from the top of the shoes you intend to wear to the base of the crotch seam. The number of inches is your appropriate size.

Alternatively, get a properly fitting pair of pants and measure the crotch seam to the bottom of the pants to determine the right coverall size to order from your closest distributor.

2. Chest size

To measure your chest, place a measuring tape on the fullest part of your bust or chest. Next, place it around your shoulder blades and under your arm. The number of inches is your bust size.

However, it is worth noting that if your natural waistline or the larger part of your stomach is bigger than the chest or bust size, you should consider the waist size when ordering an appropriate body protection garment.

3. Neck size

The last thing you want when buying coveralls is to shop for products that choke you or prevent the free movement of your neck. Stand on your side to know your neck size, then hold the measuring tape around your neck. Your neck size is the number of inches shown.

4. Waist size

Be sure to stand straight and place the tape measure around your natural waistline or where you usually wear your pants: the area just above the hip bone. Do not hold the measuring tape too loosely or snugly around the waist to get the correct measurements. Your waist size is the number of centimeters or inches shown.

Consider the bust measurements when buying coveralls if your bust has a larger size than the actual waist size.

5. Sleeve length

Your sleeve length is one of the most significant aspects to consider before purchasing coveralls. If you pick a coverall whose sleeves are too long, the hands will be fully or partially covered, compromising the overall appearance of your garment.

On the other hand, too short sleeves make it challenging to move hands freely, resulting in loss of most of your upper body motion.

To establish the correct sleeve length, straighten your arm to measure your sleeves’ complete length. Next, bend your arm at 90 degrees at the elbow, place your hand on your hips, and measure across the elbow to the shoulders. Remember also to measure the wrist bone and jolt down the measurements.

6. Body height

Whether you are going for a formal or casual look, choosing clothes tailored to your leg length and the body height is critical to appearing stylish, and this is no different when it comes to buying coveralls. You should select a coverall that complements your body height!

To establish your body height, measure from your collarbone to the heels.

Other factors to consider when buying coveralls include:

The material
Your occupation
Your style
