Why did Hollywood choose the denim dungarees as the unofficial uniform of every mentally disabled outdoor worker?

Dark Night of the Scarecrow. Lawnmower Man. Simple Jack.

You just see that outfit and you know there’s an exaggerated stutter on the way.

dungarees?

You mean overalls? Overalls are perfect for outdoor labor because you won’t get straw or bugs or pig shit sneaking down your pants or up your back,. No belt means less chance to get caught on machinery or something to pull your life out.
