HALLOWEEN (1978) COVERALLS MATCH

The navy pair… :open_mouth: :myers:

Aren’t the navy pair just the same roebucks that are still available from time to time ?

I luckily have a pair of Roebucks, I’ll just see if I can dig them out of the closet by tomorrow and try to post comparisons.

Don’t Roebucks normally have a snap collar? His pair looks like it has a button

Yea mine has the jean style closure, I’ll get clearer pics when I get the chance. I’ll also see how they compre pattern wise.

Ahh my apologies, second pair seems to be work n leisure’s and not Roebuck’s. Definitely a great find with that button!

Edit: I think part of what sets the tradewears apart are the placement of features. Pockets closer to waistline, etc.

Hmm haven’t really looked at those details that closely.

Just an observation from the photo is all. Great score!

I know what you meant, forgive me if I came off rude. But considering I’ve owned my green pair for a couple of months it’s never really occurred to me to look at them close enough to make observations like that.

Not rude at all buddy :smiley: I’m sure having them side by side you’d be able to spot much more anyways. Looking forward to the pics!

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 would have to agree, the pocket and collar is much more accurate. Just a shame the colour is not.

Yea, the only drawback. Still hoping to find one a more correct color.

how do I get a hold of these, I’ve been looking everywhere online and I can’t find a pair anywhere

They are next to impossible to find. According to all the scouring I’ve done in the Internet, besides the hero pair, mine and his are the only 2 that have sold online. I have had patterns and tech packs processed and I’ll be making exact replicas by July :slight_smile:

Do you have a rough price estimate you’ll sell them for?

Should be around $60-$80 if all goes well!

Oh man, I’m on for that, though I’d need to get a 36R or 38R, I hate being short

how about size 46R?



They’ll range from 34-54 by 2’s (chest size) and come in S (short), R (regular), and T (tall). Of course a sizing chart is being made as well!
