I don't know how it is elsewhere, but at home the trend in the workplace is toward nylon type overalls. I guess they last longer. I for one do prefer the older style cotton type.
Having set both types of overalls on fire, I am aware of the difference. Others may not know.
I wear cotton overalls when working on my hobbies.
I think Chris's post is timely. It can do no harm.
