@TheGhostlyShape
Is your 1978 replica still available or did you scrap the project?

I didn’t scrap it but I had to pause it. With corona, shipping from China is a no go and to have them American made would make the price too unreasonable.

Let me know, Id love to snag a pair once you start up.

Thank you, mod.

Sorry you had to deal with a troll, OP. I’m looking forward to whenever you’re able to get it into production!
(Alternatively, if you’ve managed to get a pattern from it already I would also be interested in buying that as I wouldn’t mind sewing one myself!)

Thank you, hopefully there is no more

My hand sewn, self-altered coveralls. A lot if pin pricks before I finished these… anyone know where to get the buttons (wrist cuffs and front buttons) that match the Sears Tradewears?

Thanks!

[Mmmyers]

Looking good ^^

I swear it’s the same person that has been trolling this forum for about a year now just making new accounts. All of their insults are exactly the same. The first account was “Count_Orlok” now’s he just making more…

Right on.

Almost finished. Just need to split the sleeves, add reinforcement and add snap buttons. Then to weather them.

Well got some pictures in, I compared the Roebuck’s and the newer Sears ones I got plus the old pair.

Here’s the new pair I got which are Sears Work n Leisure. They’re a size 40T and fit me better than my other pair:

Here are the WnL with the Roebuck’s which are the bullet holed ones. The new ones I got were used and seem lighter in color even though they’re navy blue. My Roebuck’s have a dark navy blue color.

And finally here are the Tradewears and WnL. They seem to have the same collar size and like TheGhostlyShape previously stated, the pockets placement in comparison to the waist are slightly different. It seems that the newer pair is the more accurate one.

I’ve seen Sears Tradewear and Work & Leisure coveralls with the jean enclosure collar button and the snap collar button. I’ve also seen both with either the more square(at the bottom) chest pockets like the pair Nick Castle wore in H1 and the more rounded(at the bottom) chest pockets. There were obviously variations of both of these.

The Work & Leisures I’ve seen that have the jean enclosure collar button and the more square(at the bottom) chest pockets appear to be more accurate to the pair that Nick Castle wore in H1 than the Tradewears with the jean enclosure collar button and the more square(at the bottom) chest pockets. The location of the chest pockets are closer to the waist and the jean enclosure button is in a different position on the Tradewears I’ve seen.

I’m starting to believe that the coveralls Nick Castle wore were Work & Leisure. Maybe Dick Warlock was told he needed to get Work & Leisure coveralls or maybe the pair Nick Castle wore in H1 were still around but didn’t fit Dick Warlock so he bought another pair of Work & Leisures which were being made with the snap collar button. This is just a theory since it seems that the H1 coveralls might have been Work & Leisure. If anyone has has other information about why Dick Warlock bought the Work & Leisure coveralls that will help.

I was lucky to find a pair of Sears Work & Leisure coveralls in Navy Blue that have the jean enclosure collar button and the more square bottom chest pockets. They are in mint condition and fit me. I’m 5’10" and these are 40T but they fit just fine. The sleeves come down about 1.5 inches above my knuckles. I don’t mind them being blue. The last time I wore green coveralls everyone kept saying Michael wore blue coveralls. lol

The Tradewears came in Tex green which is the match to the screenused coveralls

I’m referring to the placement of the pockets and the collar button. I don’t believe it’s been confirmed exactly which green the H1 coveralls were. However Tex Green looks like it could be the color.

What colors did the Work & Leisures come in?

What colors did the Work & Leisures come in?

It has been confirmed through the sears catalogue, Work N Leisure only came in Spruce, which is far too green

If you look at the pictures Michael Myers 1978 posted you can see that chest pockets and collar button placement is more accurate on his Work & Leisure coveralls to the pair Nick Castle wore. My Work & Leisure coveralls are also more accurate.

I’ve seen pictures of other Tradewear coveralls and the chest pockets are a bit too low and the collar button is in a slightly different location.

Do you have a link to pictures of the Sears catalog that confirm the colors? Did the Work & Leisure and Tradewears always come in the same colors over all the years?

I understand that the description of Tex Green is a gray green but I don’t believe that Tex Green was ever confirmed by Tommy Lee Wallace or anyone that worked on Halloween. TLW did say they were a grayish green but it could have just been a faded green. I’ve yet to see Tradewears that have the chest pockets and the collar button in the exact same position as the coveralls in H1.

Nick Castle himself stated they were blueish grey which is how Tex Green looks, Work N Leisures didn’t come in Tex, Ghostlyshape has posted it when showing his pair

It’s bizarre how Nick Castle and Tommy Lee Wallace remember the coveralls looking a different color. TLW said they were a very grayed down kind of green. He said they weren’t an olive drab.
