Wikipedia
Jumpsuit is a piece of clothing, originally referred to the functional one-piece garments used by parachuters/skydivers. More recently, it has come to be used as a common term for any one-piece garment with sleeves and legs.
The original skydivers' jumpsuits were simple garments designed to insulate the body from the cold of high altitudes and minimize risk of covering important handles and grips. Today, however, the garment has found other uses.
Jumpsuits are generally regarded as a garment of convenience, as they are simpler to launder, put on and remove than an ensemble outfit. Unless the jumpsuit has a drop seat, however, it is necessary to remove it entirely for bathroom use.
Jumpsuit may refer to:
- Jumpsuit, a form-fitting garment which covers the whole body.
- A 1941 World War II U.S. Army two piece parachutist uniform designed by William P. Yarborough that was modified as the M-1942 jumpsuit. It made a reappearance in 1963 as the Army tropical combat uniform, and later became the pattern of the US military Battle Dress Uniform.
- A term for any suit used at parachuting.
- Jumpsuit (band), an American rock band.
Jumpsuit is the name of an American rock and roll band from Chicago, Illinois. Together since the late 1970s when they were little more than casio and tambourine street performers, Jumpsuit has gone on to release several 7-inch singles throughout the 90s and 2000s, as well as a full-length compact disc in 2005. Jumpsuit also stars in a television cartoon series that relates their trials and tribulations that come as a result of discovering a time machine. In the series, the members of Jumpsuit attempt to use their time machine to right past wrongs and regrets in their lives; however they are usually foiled by mechanical doppelgängers that follow them through the fourth dimension. Jumpsuit's live rock shows are often presented as live-action recreations of events from the cartoon. Their most recent TV appearance on Chic-A-Go-Go brought out a new generation of fans, many still in diapers.
