        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.  ::)

        Those are my principles, and if you don't like them…
        Well, I have others.

          @Matt my wife has the same objection, but the more photos I see of them, the more I want them.

          @Joberwocky very nicely put!

              @steelworker both but the aesthetic objection is primary.  There’s always a financial objection.

                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.

                Think it, be it.

                  While we're on the topic my (almost! Friday the 13th…10 days!!!) wife has been sort of twinning with me by wearing an old pair of my Key overalls around the house while I wear my 805s.  It's fun to pal around with ours  😃

                    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.

                                Today's sale might tempt me to take the plunge on these and join the Brotherhood. (That, and impending fatherhood means that the wife is pretty much locked in and I can do what I want in terms of style.  ;D) I think I'd be looking at the tag 34 or the tag 36.

                                I take a 34 in 888S-21, and a 35 in 888Ducks. The thigh measurement is my main concern (too many years of heavy squats). My 888S-21s have stretched out to a comfy 14 inches at the thigh measurement, and the Ducks started there. So in these, it looks like tag 34 would be a good fit at 13.9inches, and tag 36 will be comfy at 14.5.

                                What's the pinch point when wearing these? Is it that squatting or bending down to pick something up causes the crotch to shoot up into your boys due to the straps going over your shoulders not allowing the top-block to move down with your legs? And if so, I assume the roomier the top-block you can tolerate the better?

                                It seems like the consensus is to go for comfort on these and size up, but just double checking what people think in my case. Tag 34 is currently out of stock anyway.

                                Edit:
                                My vitals:
                                178cm tall
                                91 kg heavy
                                Actual waist measurement at navel - 37 inches
                                Athletic build, big ass and thighs, broad back and chest (44 inch chest at nipple).

                                Probably carrying a little too-much weight around my middle -  looking to loose around 5-10kgs which from experience will bring waist at navel down to 34-35 inches, without too much of an effect on the thighs or ass.

                                Take the dive...

                                  I’m telling you right now, you don’t want tight duck. Even at 13.9, if your ideal thigh is 14.

                                  I say go baggy! They’re overalls for goodness sake

                                    😃 Thanks! The 888 Ducks are very comfortable in the tag 35.

                                    That's one vote for a baggy 36… I'll probably give them a go to take advantage of the sale and cross my fingers...

                                      I'm 188cm, 85 kg and a 34 fits me perfectly.

                                      Sounds like Sabergirl might've thought you were buying duck overalls, in which case I would agree that they're much less forgiving, but the 21oz bibs are pretty damn comfy. I'd say it's a tough call picking between 34 and 36 — the smaller size will definitely be tighter on you, but since you're a little shorter than I am, you'll have more room to adjust the straps and get the crotch feeling right. I know that if I wore a 36, I'd be absolutely swimming in them. When I squat, I feel a little tightness in the crotch, but nothing uncomfortable.

                                      I'll let some other people chime in — I can't offer a definitive suggestion, but I will say that probably either will work, and it'll come down to the vibe you want.

                                      EDIT: just noticed the comment about 34 being out of stock, so there ya go. I'd say just try the 36 and you can return them if they don't work (but double check that returns are still allowed in the sale! I think they are, but I know that some companies will do returns for credit only during sales, etc).

                                        That wouldn't bother me if it happened - I'd treat it as banked against the inevitable purchases which will take place at the party in September!

                                        Thanks for the other comments. I'm leaning towards a fitted look through the body, but it sounds like I've got more junk in the trunk going on than you. (188cm & 85kg sounds quite slim to me!)

                                          You bet! Re: height and weight, I'm horrible at guessing sizes for anyone other than myself, but based on what you've said, 36 might end up being just right. And if they're a little big, it's like Sabergirl said — they're overalls, definitely supposed to be nice n comfy. And it's not like they're gonna fall off! 😉

                                            IH-777S-142 size 31 or 32
