- Time of past OR future Camino
- First one in 2005 from Moissac, France.
French are odd, salopette is the general word they use for coveralls, a boiler suit, but the proper French for them is 'bleu de travail' 'work overalls'... but those ones are dungarees in that link - a boiler suit, or c/overalls - covers the whole body but they don't have a specific word for dungarees for some reason.
Cambridge dictionary in real English
Boiler Suit & Overalls - "a piece of clothing that covers both the upper and lower parts of the body and is worn especially over other clothes to protect them"
U.S. - coveralls
Dungarees - "a pair of trousers with an extra piece of cloth that covers the chest and is held in place by a strap over each shoulder"
U.S. - overalls
U.S. old-fashioned - trousers made of denim (= strong, blue cotton cloth)
