As I had mentioned earlier, I made my own as I have some sewing sewing skills.
It's in a hooded coat style, rather than an overall (a compromise for movement, flexibility, comfort, etc).
Q-store had a bunch of old uniforms in an unusable condition (faded, battered fabric and holes, etc.), perfect as base material for making such a suit.
Grabbed one many sizes too big to accommodate me and my kit.
Cut and tear up other old uniforms into strips and also some scrim.
Sew all that together, adding a hood, some vents and expandable pleats.
Treat the suit roughly by beating, dragging, soaking and rolling in mud, then let dry.
And never ever wash.
Hence, it still smells nice from all that dirt and wood impregnated into the fabric.
But keep it well away from fire.
Yowie suits, if you're going to make one, it's only worth the effort if you go all the way with it because it requires a bit of work to make it even look half decent.
And I'm still not satisfied with it, but I can't be bothered fixing it because I don't see the need in using it again (unless I'm totally no longer busy with other projects on backlog).
