How did the laundry system work with the coal board? How many pairs of overalls did a miner have and how often was they washed?

Three sets: one on, one spare and one in the wash. All kept in a net bag and handed in once a week or as often as needed. Jacket, trousers and shirt, or overalls and jacket. Also, vest and pants. Allowance to have underclothes taken home for washing, if one was particular. Clothes were not non-flammable unless your job needed it (like welders) and then the pocket had a special colour to indicate this.

Most fitters also had them and they stank when you sweated in them underground.
