I’m curious if anyone knows of someone selling the blue mechanic coveralls with Model T-era logos.
I thought this was discussed recently, but I couldn’t find the previous message thread. I’d love to see if any are available for Christmas.

Re: Mechanic Coveralls
This isn't exactly what you asked, but it's what I finally did after finding nothing ready-made that suited me. The shop coats were a limited product unlikely to be available now. They were Czech military surplus at a bargain price. I downloaded the Ford image from the internet, printed it out in the size I wanted, and had a local embroidery shop make a couple of patches. I don't recall what all this cost, but the price was right for Mister Thrifty.
After following some of the links I wonder which patch is more "authentic". Would an original patch refer to Piquette, or would the Univesal Car image be more like the most-used logo?
If I were shopping for a coat I think I would prefer the one on Amazon, which has buttons. Again, more "authentic".

Re: Mechanic Coveralls
Steve reminded that too, I got one of those military surplus shop coats, fit the bill for an early coat.
Had a small stencil so painted on the Ford Universal logo over each side.
Alternate are patches that can be had from the On Line Shop of MTFCI, just search on the homepage to the shop www.modelt.org

Re: Mechanic Coveralls
Dan and Steve, thank you. That was the post which I missed on the search by using the wrong keywords. I’ve got the right direction now and I appreciate the help.
