@Oaktavia what size did you take in them? I’ve been trying to convince the girl to snag me some. My carhartts are destroyed
-
geez I am eyeing these so hard. Difficult purchase to justify right before it starts to hit 90-100 degrees.
How hot do these things get in the summer? I'll take it no shirt style if I have to, I don't give a dang. -
Ha no dangs given, I like your style dude.
Heat tolerance with heavyweight denim depends on the individual. Some folks here on the forum are fine with wearing 21, 23 or 25oz in the humid heat, while others do not. It depends on your own body and how it tolerates heat.
I tend to wear my 21oz 555s in the summer with little complaints, but would not want to wear anything heavier.
With these bibs, obviously there is more fabric to take into account. I'm going to try it out on the hot days with Birkenstocks and a cutoff tee underneath with a hat to see how I fare this summer.
Also take into consideration what you plan to do while wearing them, especially outdoors. If you're casually walking to a brewery or a corner store, you'll likely be fine. But any type of manual labor likely will be sweaty as hell.

I don't mind them in hot weather because of the looser fit.

I'm super hot-natured so I'm curious how these will be in the summer — usually I don't wear a lot of heavyweight stuff in the TX heat, 21oz being no exception. Like Oak said though, really depends on the person.
They've been absolutely awesome in the nice spring weather though, and I'm sure fall/winter will be perfect as well.

Schweddy Bibs

21oz isn't too warm and bibs seem super airy. I would expect them to be pretty good for warm weather.
Of course you could always hem the legs into bib shorts
Someone do it, I dare you…. The Iron Heart Jumper...
-
Much like you with this @popvulture. In true heat, I can more readily do heavy jeans than the bibs. The added denim on my chest offsets the looser fit since I run super hot. Somehow I can usually get away with the 21oz (nearly) year round, but, then again, I'm in California heat
-
@mclaincausey maybe once my bibs hit their twilight years, and I'm far too old to care whether the bibs jumper is or isn't more ridiculous than 21oz double knee bibs in general

Thank you all for your advices, my thighs are not very big so i guess i could fit every sizes starting with the smallest size 30, that's why i am trying to figure out which size is the good for me focusing on the waist rather than the thighs ^^ I will give it a try with the size 32 and just return it for a 34 if it's too small, will order it end of the month, fingers crossed for a nice fit and a proud newcomer in the Brotherhood ^^
It finally took me one more month to decide to go for a 32 or a 34, then 34 was sold out… and finally one was back in stock lately, so i've just ordered it now, if it's too big i can return it for one of their 9+ size 32 in stock
Can't wait to receive it now !!! -
Last time i have worn a bib or something with suspenders was like 28-29 years ago
