FFS

£10.00 or more plus £6 P&P for tatty overalls. OK they're Citroen. But... c'mon

Or is it just me?

Am I missing something?

The sellers name 'Ropeyshoes' says it all really ( maybe he's got some of those for sale too?). If those oil stains are from original 80s/early 90s oil though..

I just sewed a Citroen patch onto my overalls that I bought in the fleamarket. They now sport Subaru,Rover, Mercedes patches advertising myself as an all marque bodger ( never had a spanner on a Subaru or a Rover though)

There was that TV program that sold some old rope on ebay just to prove a point but those overalls are really gross!

Anyone who buys that really does need their bumps read!

I bought a pair of overalls just like those about 18 months ago. They were clearly not new but were as clean as new, and aside from the slight wear marks, could have been mistaken for new.

For £12.

Did you sell them on and these are the same ones a few hands down the line then?

Welding topless FTW!
Nice even tan in minutes.
Who needs overalss anyway.
Thats what company sponsered workwear is for, it's certainly no good for wearing to work..
