The Dickies short sleeve coveralls are great for working around the house.  I use them for gardening and other home projects.  The short sleeve version is lightweight and good for hot climates like Texas where the long-sleeve version might be too hot.  I bought a regular extra-large that fits great (I am 5'8" and weigh 160 pounds; 37" waist, 42" chest).  I had the legs shortened to fit.
