IH-805 - 21oz Indigo Selvedge Denim Double Knee Overalls
-
Last time i have worn a bib or something with suspenders was like 28-29 years ago
-
Couldn't be happier with my new IH gear, my struggle and fear about taking the last size 34 or the 32 is now finished and the 34 was definitly the right choice, it's sooooo comfortable omagad !!! It will be my go to for every days off
Shipping on point as usual, received the parcel in France the day after i ordered it, thanks everybody for sizing helps, waist measurements is really not the thing to focus on to get the right size with this bib, i use my straps at the very lower parts and it's just perfect for my preferences, i am a 6'1 = 1m87 and i don't know how the very tall guys from this topic like henry_david can wear it without having the crotch stuck to the roof or being a balls hugger ahah ^^

Great fit @Raisinoux !
Welcome, to the Brotherhood Seconded…although whenever I hear that welcome phrase it always makes me think of Fallout 4
which is not a bad thing. -
Patiently waiting for the next Fallout…
-
Man, sweet fallout reference, I keep having more and more in common with this forum
-
Thank you guys for your welcoming words

Is the front of these kind of low? It seems like it should sit a little higher near the chest. I admittedly have no experience with overalls and am basing this off my perception and Uncle Jesse from Dukes of Hazzard.
I think it's supposed to be worn higher in the chest but i prefer to have the line of the waist a bit low, i usually buy high rise jeans and wear them lower and looser, sometimes i even go +1 in waist to be sure i will have this loose fit with a high relaxed rise, i could wear that bib a bit higher (5-6 cm max) but because i am tall the crotch seams will quickly hit my butt and it's uncomfortable ^^

Hands-in-Bib easily one of the finer things in life…
-
was her objection esthetic or financial @Matt ?
and thanks a lot the rest of ya. I'm actually looking at these things and thinking"yeah, that's built like a tank and they look good, in fact they may be the best looking bib… and, you know. ::) -
@Matt my wife has the same objection, but the more photos I see of them, the more I want them.
@Joberwocky very nicely put!
-
Oh, my wife doesn't particularly care for them at all…I think that's just part of it haha
-
@steelworker both but the aesthetic objection is primary. There’s always a financial objection.
Thanks can always try some on at the party and when everyone is like “Yeah those look awesome!” she could soften a little.

My wife has bought in to the idea of bibs when pitched with the context of twinning it up with my daughter whenever we inevitably get her some.
I’m still on the fence. Definitely the most conflicted I’ve been about an IH item.
-
I think if I were still in Baltimore I’d be more conflicted. I had a deeply rooted sense of identity there and walking around town in overalls would have made me a bit too self conscious. Out here I’m creating my own identity so I feel like I can do whatever I want.
As long as it’s ok with my wife.
