When it comes to farm work, having the right protective clothing can make all the difference between a comfortable day and constant frustration. The Five Rock Short Sleeve Poplin Coverall has become a customer favorite at QC Supply, and for good reason. Let's explore why this affordable, hardworking piece of gear deserves a spot in your daily rotation.
Finding Your Perfect Fit
One of the most common questions we hear is: "What size should I order?" Here's the simple answer: choose the size that matches what you normally wear in everyday clothing. These coveralls are designed with a regular fit that allows room to wear them over your regular work clothes without feeling restrictive.
The Five Rock coverall features an expandable waistband and strategically placed gussets in the crotch and armpits, giving you freedom of movement whether you're climbing, bending, or reaching overhead. If you prefer a roomier fit through the waist, chest, and shoulders, consider trying the Five Rock Relaxed Fit version instead.
Available in sizes from Small through 2XLarge (with tall options for most sizes), there's a fit for just about everyone. The regular inseam measures 30 inches, while tall sizes offer a 31.5-inch inseam.

Built for Biosecurity and Easy Cleaning
In today's farming environment, biosecurity is essential. The Five Rock Poplin Coverall excels in this area thanks to its durable 35% cotton/65% polyester blend fabric. This preshrunk material can withstand repeated high-temperature washing and drying without losing its shape or integrity.
The heavy-duty brass two-way zipper won't corrode or fail, even after countless trips through your farm's washing protocols. Double-stitched seams add to the longevity, ensuring these coveralls hold up wash after wash. When you're dealing with potential disease vectors or simply want to keep farm dirt separate from your personal clothing, these coveralls provide a reliable barrier that's easy to sanitize.
The One-Set-Per-Day Strategy
Here's a pro tip from experienced farmers: invest in at least five sets of coveralls—one for each workday. This rotation strategy offers several advantages:
Protection and cleanliness: A fresh, clean coverall each day minimizes cross-contamination risks and maintains optimal biosecurity standards on your operation.
Extended lifespan: Rotating through multiple sets reduces wear on each individual coverall, meaning your investment lasts longer overall.
Always ready: You'll never face that morning scramble when yesterday's coveralls didn't quite dry overnight or when unexpected visitors require you to look presentable.
Professional appearance: Starting each day in clean workwear simply feels better and presents a more professional image to visitors, inspectors, or customers.
Why Coveralls Beat Regular Work Clothes
If you're still on the fence about wearing coveralls, consider these benefits:
- Complete protection: Unlike separate shirts and pants, coveralls provide continuous coverage from shoulders to ankles, keeping your regular clothes clean and reducing exposure to dirt, dust, chemicals, and other farm hazards.
- Time savings: Slip into one garment and you're ready to work. No matching shirts to pants or worrying about your shirt riding up when you bend over.
- Versatility: The six pockets (two chest, two swing pockets, and two hip pockets) give you plenty of room for tools, phones, notebooks, or whatever small items you need within reach throughout the day.
- Cost-effectiveness: When your coveralls take the beating instead of your regular clothing, you'll replace your personal wardrobe less often.
- Temperature regulation: The lightweight 5.5-ounce fabric and short sleeves make these coveralls comfortable even in warm weather, while still providing essential protection.
The Bottom Line

Whether you're feeding livestock, cleaning barns, performing maintenance, or handling dozens of other daily tasks, these coveralls keep you protected and comfortable.
