Everyday wear.

"...has never been a common item of everyday wear." Whomever wrote that apparently is too young to remember the 1970's http://web.archive.org/web/20101007115153/http://www.foxnews.com/slideshow/entertainment/2010/06/10/vintage-ads-thinking (slide 17) Such suits were very popular, with all sorts of styling additions including faux and real belts. The common feature was a double ended zipper. Bizzybody (talk) 07:21, 17 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed merge

There is a suggestion to merge jumpsuit and onesie. I see no reason to do this. Not even the person making the suggestion has made any comment as to why. While the items have the overall design in common, they are different in the details and they are used in quite different circumstances. Both articles were more elaborated before and interesting facts have been erased. Many section should be restored.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.218.251.74 (talk) 08:39, 9 November 2018 (UTC)

Closing, given the lack of any support. Klbrain (talk) 16:25, 3 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Tone

The "benefits" portion is written like copy for a jumpsuit magazine. I'm not well-versed in fashion wikipedia, but surely something more objective and less "you feel childlike happiness and freedom in a jumpsuit" is preferable? 208.83.199.98 (talk) 17:24, 6 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I propose just nuking that bit. It'd probably need writing from scratch to bring it into tone with the rest of the article. 147.147.87.29 (talk) 01:25, 31 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Alright, cleared out that bit myself. The history section looks like it was edited by the same person with a similar tone, but I'm a bit more leery about touching that bit since I'm not that familiar with article formatting. 31.111.20.131 (talk) 01:09, 16 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Covers arms?

The first section says that a jumpsuit has sleeves but does not cover the hands. The second section says that a jumpsuit covers the arms. The first photo shows a garment that arguably has little sleeves but leaves the arms mostly uncovered. The garment in the last photo only covers about 1/3 of the arms. A google image search for "jumpsuit" shows many, perhaps mostly, garments with no fabric on the arms whatsoever. After reading this article, I am quite confused about what is and is not a jumpsuit!
