Thermal overall denim
"Super warm. Super nice to wear"
To pee or not to pee. It’s no longer a question. Just stop, drop, and go in these ingenious drop seat overalls. Winter bathroom breaks just got faster, easier, and a whole lot warmer because there’s no need to take off the whole shebang to do your thing. And yep, these are still our famous Freshley women’s overalls, just warmer and with a hidden back zip drop seat. They’re made of high-tech, all-in-one thermal stretch denim that’s tough on the outside, cozy on the inside. Thermoregulating recycled insulation keeps you toasty but never roasty, and does a solid for the planet. And no, you won’t look like a puffer fish. They’re warm, not bulky. So you can easily bend, flex, stretch, and yes, even go.

"Super warm. Super nice to wear"
"Im unsure whether it fits large or just unlike Dovetail pants in same size. Ordered a 22, which should be too big for me, in other brands im an 18. I only ordered 22 because when i was in Marks and tried on a Mavis pant in an 18, I couldn’t even get them up. They had no more sizzes and i have put on weight. I used to be a 16 in Dovetail but life changes. So i ordered a 22……. omg way to big so it was either this or the Mavis pants fit tiny. Who knows. I LOVE DOVETAIL overalls so its just the size. I cannot wait to find the right fit"
"These overalls are super comfy and warm. Wearing them outside in -15 weather to do chores is easy, and I don't need an extra thermal layer underneath. They are great to wear all day long. I find the drop seat harder to use than I was expecting. It's not smooth, I end up having to unbutton more than I think I should, and there's still very little room to stick out of the overalls and do my business! It honestly seems easier to take the suspenders down, as long as I'm not wearing a jacket over top."
"I wanted to try these, but wasn't sure if they'd be too hot or too stiff for the west coast winter. So I didn't buy them till they went on sale. I'm very happy with them. They're cozy and comfy outdoors, and they don't get too hot even when I'm sitting in the toasty indoors. So if you're wondering it they'll be comfortable even if the weather doesn't regular dip below 0 C, I'd say yes, unless you run hot. A few other details. The drop seat is a nice feature, but as one reviewer noted, it works better with more buttons undone (at least for me). The buttons still seem a bit stiff so a bit stubborn for undoing - but it's early days. It's not enough for me to knock off a star."
"Super comfy, not quite as warm as I was expecting."
"Ok, so I love these. I bought them before they'd had any reviews and I was a bit uncertain about the dropseat feature, but everything else is great. I've been wearing them daily for three weeks, working at heights outside in the early Montreal winter. SIZING - I got these in a size 20 (they were out of a size 18), along with a regular Freshley in a size 18, which I'm glad I did because sizing up will be essential if you need to layer (especially if you're wearing heated gear, because that'll need to be under the overalls if you want the heat close to you). DROPSEAT FEATURE - I would size way up if you're looking to use the dropseat feature as a main way to use the bathroom, because it lets you drop them, but not really spread your legs while seated - maybe it's just a fat thing, but I'd advise testing peeing with your legs together before purchasing (for me it's messy). It works in an emergency, but it's not the most sanitary option imo if you'll be wearing them all week without washing them daily. That said, if you're unclipping the whole shebang to go to the bathroom, the front pocket that folds over and snaps is a good feature, and I just hook the suspenders to the buttons on the sides so they don't hang on the floor. BUILD AND DESIGN - Build is nice. I do wish there were a way to tighten around the waist as they stretch out along the week, because by Thursday they're a bit loose and I find myself carrying more weight in the shoulders through the suspenders rather than holding up at the waist, as they tend to slide down with my toolbelt. Speaking of toolbelt - the pocket layout is great. I sometimes even just transfer tools from my toolbelt to my pockets if working in a tight area, and haven't really been missing space for anything- except maybe a speed square, because the side pockets aren't cargo size. The reinforced pocket corners on either side are great to hook my tape measure or drill and driver. THERMAL DENIM - Very soft. I did prefer to layer at least some biker shorts or leggings in colder days so far (-15°C), and I'll likely need a thermal baselayer in colder months. However, the fabic is really nice, can't feel the wind for a second. These is no lining for the dropseat zipper, which was a worry when trying them on, but turns out with all the layers I'm wearing underneath, I never really feel it, so it's not a bother at all for me. The durability seems good. I do have a small tear already, but I work with sheet metal, so that's not due to fabric quality at all. The flexibility is good. I do have to pull them up a little sometimes to take a bigger leap, but the stretch is never lacking. No issue wearing a safety harness over them, either. TL;DR Pros : - Design is smart and well thought-out - Pockets ++++ - Comfortable and stretchy - Soft and warm Cons : - Dropseat feature is meh - Loosens a bit over the week with wear and no way to adjust waist size to compensate Tips : - Size up for layers"
