History
Beginner
The precise start of imposing overall is unclear, but they are mentioned in the literature in early 1776 as a protective workwear commonly worn by slaves.
The first evidence of mass-produced overalls is made by Levi Strauss and Jacob Davis in the 1890s. The first "Jeans" they found were actually overalls ("waist overalls" or "high waist overalls"), which consisted of suspenders attached to denim pants with buttons. No top with bib. From the beginning, denim overalls are a popular worker's outfit because of its durability. In fact, Levi, Strauss & amp; Slogan Co in the 1880s the 1890s was "Never Rip, Never Tear."
In 1911, Harry David Lee made his first bib overalls, made of pants with pockets stitched into a shirt with a bib and with a strap over his shoulder. This turned into Lee Union-All in 1913. The Union-All consists of dungarees sewn into work shirts. There were loads of handcuffed pockets, arms and legs, and wide collars. It is very popular with workers, and is also worn by women and children.
In 1927, Lee developed "hookless fastening" and created Union-All and "buttonless" overalls. The zipper replaces the button. Immediately after that, the Suspender button is traded in for the belt loop to attach the strap over the shoulder.
World War I
The American Army in World War I wore Union-Alls Lee starting in 1917. They were elected by the government for being durable. The military also supplies mechanical units and supplies with Union-Alls.
The Great Depression
In the 1930s, the poorest segment of the American population wore overalls: farmers, miners, loggers, and railroad workers. They are most commonly worn by men and boys in the Southern United States and Midwestern United States. They can be seen in many photos of Walker Evans.
Overall bib (in various colors and textiles) has become a popular outfit among American youth, from the 1960s onwards.
World War II
During World War II, women assumed male factory work since men went to war. Their loose clothing is considered dangerous under factory conditions, which leads women to adopt men's work clothes. This is controversial, as many men are still uncomfortable with the idea of ​​women wearing pants, and especially with them wearing overalls in public, outside the factory. A commonly known picture featuring overalls (more specifically, Union-Alls) belongs to Rosie the Riveter, from a 1943 poster used to improve workers' morale.
Feminist Movement
In a time when women wearing trousers were largely seen as unacceptable, overalls were widely accepted as clothing for small children in the 1890s. They are readymade and can be purchased with mail-order catalog. Overall used for play by boys and girls, made of denim or other durable cloth. Like overalls for adults, they are used as a protective coating against the nicer clothes underneath. They also allow for greater mobility. However, the overalls were not widely used by adult women until the late 1960s.
Overall is often used in, and seen as a symbol, a feminist protest of the 1970s. They are meant to be anti-female-mode, because the overalls do not fit like many other women's clothing. Overall allows women to move freely, and they do not have to wear a bra underneath. They refer to the overalls worn by women workers during World War I and World War II. Because overalls are considered men's clothing for most of their existence, women adopt them to describe the message that they have the same authority for men.
21st century
In the 21st century, overalls have evolved into high fashion garments. Designers like Stella McCartney display them in ready-to-wear collections for women and children. Overall Stella McCartney children sold for $ 138. Nordstrom sells overalls for $ 1,080.
