[Shop-talk] Question about shop pants?

[Bob Spidell]

I'm on my fourth or fifth pair (set?) of Dickies all-cotton coveralls; 
lots of pockets--a couple with zippers--hammer loop, sleeve and leg 
snaps.  A little warm in the summer, but durable as all heck and 
breathable (I might try the short-sleeved version someday).
