Description
A genuine pair of mechanic's overalls from the Netherlands. Their army issue protective garments are plain and simple, a "just get the job done" kind of approach.
Our latest batch are in nice condition but some appear to be missing the odd button (either from the epaulettes or main opening).
The design may not be too flashy, but the construction is durable. A cotton/polyester twill makes up the fabric component of these overalls which should survive most of the handyman missions you throw at it. The overalls feature a buttoned front with an elasticated back to minimise excess fabric. For pockets, you're provided with a deep slash pocket on each leg and an access pocket behind that for reaching items underneath the overalls. These will suit the garage tinkerer, auto mechanic and various other tradesmen.
Features:
- Genuine Dutch Army surplus
- Heavy duty cotton/polyester construction
- Button-up front
- Elasticated back
- Deep slash pockets
- Access pockets
Sizing: To find your size, measure the circumference of your chest, just under the armpits. The length of these overalls are not defined and may vary.

- OAOlivia A.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars9 months agoExactly what I wanted!
A lot of other reviews were annoyed about sizing. I emailed the company before ordering with my measurements and they confirmed the size they thought would suit me. I am a woman so the arm and leg lengths are a bit long but I will hem those, the rest of it is so perfect, not too tight, comfy when I sit down. JUST EMAIL THEM TO ASK YOUR SIZE! I got a reply within an hour of asking and they were so lovely and offered a return and swap if it was wrong. I ordered and it arrived in two days. Highly recommend! Shout out to Ryan for his helpful email support :)
Army & Outdoors - USA9 months agoHi Olivia,
Thanks for the fantastic feedback and for sharing your experience with our sizing support! We're really pleased to hear that reaching out beforehand worked so well for you and that Ryan was able to help get you sorted with the perfect fit. It's great to know the overalls are comfortable and just what you were looking for, even if the arm and leg lengths need a little adjustment, that's exactly the kind of feedback that helps other customers too. Also great to hear our shipping was so quick for you. Really appreciate you taking the time to share this detailed review.

Sizing is well off.
Don’t bother wasting your money on these Dutch Overalls, until Army & Outdoors sorts the sizing guide out properly.
Bought a 100cm & I am 5’10, weighing 69kg. - This kit looks like it could easily fit a 6-7foot person weighing up to 150kg.
HUGE!
No point warning people about the sizing guide if it’s not close to correct!
Army & Outdoors - USA11 months agoThanks for your feedback, and we're really sorry to hear the overalls were too large. As these are surplus items, the sizing can sometimes vary slightly, particularly in length. We understand how frustrating that can be and appreciate you pointing it out. We'll continue to review our sizing guides to make them as accurate as possible. If you haven’t already, feel free to reach out to our team and we’ll do our best to help sort it out. Thanks.
- NHNicholas H.Verified BuyerRated 4 out of 5 stars1 year agoGot one of these in the wrong size
Be careful to get the right size because it looks real goofy otherwise.

I'm also not entirely too sure why there's backlash about the sizing. Of course they run long, they're designed for the Dutch and designed fit broad range of bodies since they're military gear.
If you're wanting something that'll look sharp off the rack , they might not be for you, but if you can afford alterations (Which are relatively cheap these days) I'd say give 'em a shot
Measure for your chest, and take 'em in to a tailor. I'm around 173cm tall, 116cm chest, around 87kg (A little padding, but relatively slim) and it fits great. The shoulder seam sits about a cm past where a tailored fit would be on me but I mean they're overalls after all.
They do absolutely run long, no question about it but it's not a surprise (See: Holland). For me I'd estimate needing maybe 8.5cm taken off the sleeves for a suit jacket style sleeve length, and maybe 16cm taken off for hemming on the legs for a half/full break. I can't really guess the amount of fabric I'd need tailored for the bagginess of the arms, legs and body until I've had the limbs done, but I wouldn't imagine there'd be too much to alter
As for my experience, they've been very comfortable, and surprisingly warm with just a shirt, undies and some long johns. I wasn't big on the olive drab at first, but it's grown on me and the German blue cotton overalls aren't available in my size at the moment. This'll make for a good substitute for now and once I get some blue ones these will be my comfy house overalls. I would chuck…
