pantalón (de trabajo) con peto


Explanation:
Hola Kalea,

En mi país, México, les llamamos pantalón con tirantes y peto, o pantalón de trabajo con peto, y ¿qué es el peto? Ah! buena pregunta, el peto es la parte superior de tela del pantalón en donde hay un bolsillo ancho que te sirve para poner toda clase de cositas que estés usando en lo que trabajas, como clavos, brocha y puede que hasta una coca-cola con su debido emparedado de jamón con queso y chiles jalapeños...
Uff! qué hambre!

Buena suerte y saludos del Oso :^)

Ve al link para ver uno de estos pantalones, Okey Dokey?

mono / pantalon con peto


Explanation:
I think some of us are talking at cross purposes. UK&Ireland English speakers say overalls to refer to a one-piece work suit, which in Spanish would be mono, at least in Spain.

When US English speakers say overalls, they refer to what we call dungarees (jeans with a bib). This would be pantalon con peto.

Not sure what the former ruling class of Egypt have to do with it though.
