Wearpack: Local or International Term?
In Indonesia, protective work clothing that covers the body from the neck to the ankles is commonly called a wearpack . However, this term is rarely used abroad. Let's examine the differences in terms and context.
1. The Origin of the Word "Wearpack"
The term wearpack comes from a combination of the words "wear" (to wear) and "pack" (package/protective clothing). This term is popular in Indonesia as a term for full-body work uniforms.
2. Terms Abroad
In many English-speaking countries, similar garments are better known as:
-
Coverall – The most common term in the United States and Canada.
-
Overall / Boiler Suit – Popular term in Europe and UK.
- Jumpsuit – More often worn for fashion or flight, but the shape is similar.
So, if you are talking to international clients or factories, use the word coverall so they immediately understand.
3. Differences in Context
-
Wearpack Indonesia: Used by industrial workers such as oil and gas, mining, factories, and workshops.
-
