Subject: What is the correct universal worldwide term or word for this style of clothing?
I am 40 and own TWO pairs of overalls.
I bought the latest pair in black last year from a high end shop and wear them all the time, and get compliments always. I loved wearing them in the 90s and I love them now.

Do farmers still exist in this country?
There are still people who view farming as a profitable occupation?

No.
Also OP even if you use the correct term of overalls almost no one in the U.S. has worn these or seen them in person. They’re used as working gear on farms and occasionally in painters studios. So yeah, the normal department store associate will have no idea what you’re asking for and it’s unlikely to find them in a non-farming store anyway.
Uh, no. Not true at all! You are out of touch.
Put your son in that and watch him get beat up. Let it go - no one wears them and I’m not sure where this obsession is coming from.
You’re a bit overwrought. No one is displaying an obsession here.
Doubtful that Tommy Hilfiger is marketing to “no one.” Likely that you are out of touch.

I have always thought it was not cool to wear them past elementary school. Definitely not past junior high.

You really think most Americans wouldn't know overalls? They may not be widely common but you do see them. Workmen. Lots of kids have a pair from when they were younger. Some hipsters wear them as adults. It's a pretty iconic item of clothing.
So what are they called by most non workmen people? Osh Kosh?
Overalls.
Oshkosh is a children’s clothing brand. They make overalls but they’re not synonymous.
Coveralls are what a mechanic would wear over his clothes while he works, sort of like a one piece long sleeve shirt and pants, usually in gray or navy.
A jumper would be an overall style dress, usually above the knee and worn by young girls, not necessarily denim. Could be corduroy.
A jumpsuit is similar to overalls, but calls to mind the orange garb prisoners wear.
I always thought they were called jumpers. They are worn by either boys or girls.
No. A Jumper has open legs like a dress

Well my daughter is 2.
Are you the OP? I can’t believe you’re calling childrens’ stores are NONE of them know what you’re talking about when you say overalls. They are always used for little kids, even if adults wearing them went out of fashion decades ago.

They were very popular in the 90s and have come back

They are a great look if you are a farmer.
