Plain-English summary

The coveralls were sold in various colors and designs, including prints and stripes, at J. Crew stores in New York and California, online at jcrew.com, and in the J. Crew catalog from October 2013 to March 2014 for about $30. A care label sewn into the inside left seam of the garment reads either "HO'13" or "SP'14" and lists specific PO and style numbers.
