A minor point, but the Universal web site shows their white cotton coveralls as having the herringbone pattern that I think many of the old time coveralls had,

but in fact the coveralls are just a plain white weave without the herringbone pattern which I've seen on some original 1930s coveralls, don't know about the WW2 ones. Do the Red Kap ones have the herringbone pattern?
We got the Universal ones from All Seasons Uniforms for the autogiro crew (I think they were out of the Red Kap ones) and had a local place in Dayton embroider the logo on.
