Welcome to Canadian Eng Patches!

In many Canadian, Finnish and Swedish universities with engineering programs, coveralls are a central part of engineering student culture. These go by many names, such as redsuits, flightsuits, or simply abbreviated to 'covvies', and are full-body suits typically adorned by patches or practical additions such as pockets.

This wiki serves as a way to document the history behind these as found in Canada, specifically focusing on the aforementioned patches but also touching on the surrounding culture.
