I’d like to hear what everyone is wearing these days. I know Big Macs are the way to go in regards to H1. But they’re as hard to find as Bigfoot is. So what is everyone’s alternative to H1. Reed, Red Kap, Walls, TCI, Dickies, Carhartt, Liberty, Schmidt? It’s enough to drive me crazy.
I wear navy blue Redkaps.

I wear charcoal grey Red Kaps.
Always on the lookout for Big Macs but, as you say, not easy to find, especially in the perfect size.
Red Kaps are a very capable alternative in my IMO.
I need to go up a size for my H1 Big Macs, but that’s what I wear. For H2 spruce green sears, H4,5 I have denim fisher stripe Big Macs, for H6 I have the grey walls, for H2O it’s my charcoal redcaps, then lastly my navy blue dickies for H8. Those are the accurate coveralls for each film as well.
I wear Roebucks, Reeds and I own several pairs of Red Kaps. But when I do suit up (H1 style) I seem to prefer charcoal Red Kaps. I actually don’t care for the chest pocket flap and the elastic band around the waist, so for H1 Red Kaps are perfect for me! And thank goodness I don’t feel the need to be searching around for a pair of Big Mac coveralls. I feel for you guys. It was just out of sheer luck I found my Roebucks on eBay and also the fact that they fit me perfectly.
Oddly enough, I seem to aim for more accuracy in regards to details and fit when it comes to H2 as H1 is my favourite film and look of the two.
What do you wear yourself?
Red Kaps for me, I own Spruce green for H1/2 and charcoal, and I have navy blue for My Bloody Valentine costume.
I’ve got some green Reeds that looked pretty good for H1 but I turned them into some H2s. Also have some green Walls that are decent looking but have a seam up the back. My Big Macs are still the best though. It wasn’t that hard to get them either, I just searched on ebay every day for like a week or so, a few times a day till some popped up in an auction. I ended up winning them for around $70, so they didn’t break the bank either. You just gotta be persistent
I would love to own a pair of Big Macs, but I don’t believe they were ever made in my size (52-54 Tall)… Currently, I wear Charcoal Grey Red Kaps, and Spruce Green Reeds. …ANDY
Spruce green Red Kaps for me. Though, I’d like to weather up a pair of charcoal ones for H1.
Was lucky enough to land a pair of charcoal/blue Big Macs which I think are perfect for H1. Before them I was using some doctored cheapies
Thanks for chiming in guys. It’s interesting to hear these things. As many of you are I too am currently wearing spruce green Red Kaps. But I’m getting tired of the way they look. I spritzed them with fake blood when I first bought them about 6 years ago.
I feel the nead now to be as screen accurate as I can with my coveralls. I’d like to get into something that has the front flap breast pocket as the coveralls did in H1. After quite a bit of research, so far I can’t find anything closer to resembling the actual coveralls in the film then Reeds. I’ll keep checking ebay for a while to see if by chance someday I can get lucky. But I’m not going to hold my breath.
First 2 pics charcoal/blue big macs vs cheapies doctored (last pic) but they do ok as an H2 for the moment.
I have basically 3 different versions of the RZ myers, well mostly just the 3 masks. The remake, the dream sequence, and the hobo look. I use one pair of coveralls for all 3 of my looks, the X02 Carhartt. He wore them in the remake, so to carry it on into the H2 look, I use the same coveralls for all 3 looks, so it keeps the continuity, he gets more ragged but the same coveralls.
Has you see here in the pics
