Jumpsuit
Jumpsuit , also called a jumper suit or jumper suit , originally referred to the one-piece uniform or operational clothing of the paratroopers as well as the overall of civilian parachute athletes . As can be seen in the photo, there are often handles on the arms and legs as panels for formation jumping in order to be able to hold and hold the other jumper for figures. A modification of the civilian jumper suit is the wingsuit or wing suit with sewn-in flight skins for overcoming short distances in gliding flight.
The forerunner in Germany was the paratrooper blouse of the Luftwaffe of the Wehrmacht up to 1945, which was also referred to as the "bone sack", or the so-called Sidcot suit of the Australian aviation pioneer Sidney Cotton from 1917.
One-piece garments for certain occupational groups and sports are related to the classic jumper suits. This includes, for example, flight suits for crew members (rarely passengers) of certain aircraft as well as for space travelers , pressure suits for pilots of high-flying fighter jets , space suits , and overalls for racing drivers , skiers , mechanics , convicts or even small children .

For men, the jumpsuit, for a long time mostly only known as functional overall or work clothing. One exception was Elvis Presley , who went down in history in the 1970s as an "entertainer in a jumpsuit" due to his unusual appearance during his stage shows.
For men, women and children in the 2000s, the onesie became a popular version of the jumpsuit as leisurewear, in which the focus is more on comfortable clothing, often also on a particularly colorful, unusual outfit.
