The ATS Green Denim Overall is a historically accurate reproduction of the work overalls worn by members of the Auxiliary Territorial Service during the Second World War. This one-piece “combination” suit was used by women serving in technical, logistical and maintenance roles within the British Army.

While the standard ATS uniform in khaki was worn for administrative or formal duties, this green denim overall was intended for practical fieldwork: vehicle maintenance, workshops, ammunition depots and support units. It represents the women who repaired engines, maintained transport vehicles and kept essential military infrastructure running.

This reproduction is ideal for reenactment, living history events, museum displays and film productions where historical authenticity matters.

Features:

• Hard-wearing green denim fabric

• Full-coveralls design with button closure and functional pockets

• Originally worn by ATS vehicle mechanics and MT drivers

• Historically accurate reproduction of WWII ATS gear

• Perfect for reenactment, living history events, film props, or collectors

Historische Context

The Auxiliary Territorial Service was established in 1938 as the women’s branch of the British Army. During the war, more than 190,000 women served in essential roles including drivers, mechanics, radar operators and clerical staff.

In technical and maintenance units, practical denim overalls were commonly worn. They provided protection against oil, dirt and wear, and were designed for long working hours in workshops and garages. The green workwear style reflects the functional and utilitarian character of wartime Britain.

This type of overall represents the often understated yet vital contribution of women to the Allied war effort.
