“Would you be willing to reveal a bit of your ‘thing’ for coveralls…? Origin, specifics – any of that would do…” asks gryphons_hole
I’ve worn overalls extensively at various points in my life. During college in the late seventies, I had a collection of dyed cotton ones from the New York store Reminiscence which I wore to death. Then I moved out to the west coast and the overall thing cooled off. In the early 90′s I began to get intereseted in wearing work clothes, especially used gear, so I began buying overalls again.
I think the appeal is two-fold: To me overalls are southern, utilitarian, anti-style. Of course this this the classic thing of bourgeois gay guys fetishizing working class codes. There part of my constellation of work, mud, w/s, dirty, raunchy fethishes. They’re also a clothing I associate with the early part of the 20th century, another period where I think the clothing is hot in general (lately I’ve been really looking at guys in sock garters.)
The second thing is the feeling of wearing them: they’re easy to get into and out of. They have convenient gaps at the side that allow for groping, either by myself or others. They show off my belly well. And when broken in they are soft and absorbent; so comomfortable.
