I liked my one piece coveralls, however they made me invisible in retail environments.

^This. It's all about your appearance. I've gone on parts runs and errand running in the middle of jobs so I'm in grubby work clothes and I'm The Invisible Man- cashiers and whatnot either pretend I don't exist or wish I didn't. Go into the same places later all cleaned up and they're as nice as can be.
