Reading a detective story set in Bergen Norway
A trio of thieves rob a jewelry store and are described as wearing “shell suits” like that is something odd or out of place…
Is a shell suit a set of coveralls, one piece jumpsuit with zipper?
Or what we call a track suit…matching nylon zip jacket and long pull on trousers?
Or something else?

Shell suits, that's a blast from the past, they are a kind of tracksuit (usually) brightly coloured, Liverpudlians (Scousers) were famous for them!
