IH-819-BLK - 12oz Wabash Double Knee Overalls - Black
-
I go 34 or 35 in IH jeans and I got my 21oz double knees in a 34 because I wanted it to fit not SUPER relaxed (they're overalls, they'll never be skinny jeans) but a lot of people do size up for the comfy factor. Though everybody is different, I don't think I'd sie down since they do come over your waist you don't want to be uncomfortable if you bend over. I liked the fit enough I ordered a pair of the indigo Wabash in 34 which I'm looking forward to showing up. Don't let the measurements throw you too much for a loop, the 34 is listed as like a 39.
Longer story short, I'd say same size as normal waist (or I guess a 30 if 29 would be ideal) is gonna be a relaxed but not overly generous fit. I had to reconcile with the notion that an overall isn't a "trim" garment haha.
I would check out the brotherhood of bib thread in general chat if you want some solid convincing to just go for it -
Thnx @Joberwocky for the education. Now can I wait for a 30 in the black wabash for her or will the 21oz selvedge overalls allure be too much during the wait. doesn't help that I'm trying to live thru her too. SMH

I have become a staunch advocate that everyone is a bib guy, just gotta cross that line and never look back
I haven't been able to convince my wife bibs are cool yet, but I think I'm slowly making headway -

She gives me a hard time but she's a good sport. I've told her before "if I'm confident looking silly, it really shouldn't bother you". I told her they're like my sweatpants and that solved it. Hope you get her a slick pair, the black Wabash looks great

My girlfriend just saw the old photo of Lindsey, and asked, "Are they for me?" :o

Those pics are great

These were an instacop for me…I've wanted a pair of these since the mid teens...I am so stoked.

Yeah, I’ve been rocking the 21oz double knees & bibs and I weirdly love them. I get tons of compliments, and I think I’ve just accepted that overalls are kinda my current thing [emoji16]

McClain! Good to see you too, man! I’m still rocking like 90% IH, just been hard to be on the forum much with a hectic job and 5 kids under 8
Your fit the other day with the throwback herringbone flannel was so good it inspired me to bust mine out the next day under my camo courdura jacket and double indigo ducks. -
Oh lord I got one 2 year old and I can’t even imagine
Godspeed! -

[mention]joesaintjohn [/mention] 5 kids under 8? Amazing! Don’t know how you do it. I have 1 kid that’s 14 months and I feel like I’m barely making through the day sometimes.
