      Mine have also got the short double-knee. I'll check whether it actually covers my knee later. I hadn't noticed anything different with the fit - but then I didn't notice the shorter double knee either lol.

      Battled with my 25 oz, won the war!

        The IH-812 overalls have the shorter knee reinforcement too. It looks a similar length to the pair of new 805s, above.

        I'm at the longer end of the leg spectrum, and the position is fine for me. I'd guess that the 805s would suit. Someone on the stumpier end of would have their knees further up, and so they should be fine.

          So, this is the story.

          When we started making the duck overalls we made the double knees shorter.  When we remade the denim version, we decided to make the double knees shorter on them too.

          Haraki forgot to tell me,  sorry.

                            I quit smoking about 2 months ago, so I'm getting fat again. My size 33s Beatle Busters are getting pretty snug. So I decided to take a crack at these on sale. I've wanted a pair of these for so long now…. I think a size 36 might be kind of baggy, but I'm hoping comfortable, because all my jeans have been killing me recently.

                                Probably a 33 maybe. I'm pretty fond of a cuff.

                                    Thanks Mike. I've taken up vaping. But I am probably going to give that up too. It's more expensive than smoking I think.

                                      Pickles is trying out my new overalls. I can't believe how nice they are. I absolutely love them! The double ply of 21 oz. denim on the front is epic! Thanks a lot stubborn crew!

                                        Here's a picture of the epically heavy denim on the front.

                                        I really appreciate how much time and effort went into making these, how they always stay up, and how comfortable they are.

                                        A big plus for me is how there's not that intersection of seams between the waistband and the back pockets that sometimes digs into my tail bone.

                                        I also really like the feeling of being swaddled in extra heavy denim. I am a happy camper for sure. Thank you.

                                            Is that like the Hitchhiker's Guide or something? I haven't read that book or seen the movie. I think that's what it is.
