Penhale Overalls

I love these dungarees-the colour and fabric are wonderful and really well made.

A Finisterre size 8 generally fits me well. However I find this 8 more fitted than I had expected so am going to reorder in a size 10 which will give me more room for different layers underneath particularly going into autumn and winter.

Really comfortable and a good fit.

Lovely soft linen, improves with wear. Initially took me a bit of adjusting to find the right strap length to get in and out and fit nicely but have found a happy size and don’t have to adjust now. I really appreciate the roomy pockets. Practical for chasing a baby around in, laid back, casual styling. Big thumbs up.

So comfortable and I’ve received many compliments. Tricky metal clasps but once in place, they don't move.

Ordered these but actually sent them back because they weren’t quite what I was looking for.

They’re lovely dungarees though, I’d say they’re true to Finisterre’s usual sizing. They have a nice relaxed but not overly-baggy appearance.

In the end I decided that I need a more heavy-weight fabric, and realised that as much as I want it to be, linen is not the fabric for me!

The only negative point I could make about these dungarees would be the lack of the classic dungaree trap clasp/clip thing. Because of this, if you have the straps done fairly tight (if you want the bib to sit a bit higher for example) then they can be a bit of a wriggle to get on and off.

Would definitely recommend if you’re looking for a breathable linen dungaree.
