Clothing for work in manure a discerning person turns over (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

dungarees

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'clothing for work' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'manure a discerning person turns over' is the wordplay.
'manure' becomes 'dung' (I've seen this before).
'discerning person' becomes 'seer' (seer is a kind of person. I am not sure about the 'discerning' bit.).
'turns over' says the letters should be written in reverse.
'seer' in reverse letter order is 'rees'.
'dung'+'a'+'rees'='DUNGAREES'

'in' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for dungarees that I've seen before include "Worker's trousers with a bib" , "Work overalls" , "overalls required" , "Overall" , "garment" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
