You would spend way more money than for a set of RedKap coveralls, and you would have to take off all the extra pockets.

Nope. It's a TIE jumpsuit. Thigh, leg, arm pockets would all need to be removed, and suede riding patches and mudflap and thigh bands added.

 

For the price and the amount of work you'd have to do, you would be far better off to get a pair of RedKap or Dickie's coveralls for $20-30 and make the appropriate mods.

With a pair of coveralls, elastic, real suede, and even paying someone to put it together for you, you might still come out ahead. The necessary mods are fairly simple for a coverall conversion:

 

-Remove all pockets.

-Stitch or Velcro closed slash pockets.

-Create "Mandarin collar" neck closure (flip up the collar, and sew on a flap that closes around the front of your neck).

-attach suede "riding" or thigh patches. Patterns can be found in soft armour forum.

-attach suede "mudflap" that nearly covers your keister.

-attach thigh bands (commonly elastic) around the thigh, attaching underneath aforementioned thigh patches.

 

Real suede for Lancer, faux suede acceptable for basic.
