BROTHERHOOD OF BIB

[Oaktavia]

Checking into the Brotherhood. What Bibs you?

Indigo Wabash 815 coming along, makes me happy to see these fades.

With the scarcity of 805’s I’ve been pondering the wabash bibs as a first entry point into the bib game. @Oaktavia your pair might just be pushing me over the edge.

[Oaktavia]

@Inorganic I highly recommend the Wabash bibs, they fade so nicely. They get super soft too.

[Oaktavia]

So soft like pajamas these are.

Love those indigo wabash bibs! I have the black wabash ones, and generally prefer those ones over the 805’s these days. They’re lighter weight and super soft.

[Oaktavia]

@chrisjohnnick I love 'em too! More into 805s when it's cold out. Plus I get cold in the 815 when the temps drop.

@Oaktavia hopefully this is a reference that lands (and is taken as a compliment) but the vibe I get from these is "stoney steinbeck"

[Oaktavia]

@GraemeE over my head...enlighten me

@denim-dawg great shot

@SKT Thanks - it’s my wife shooting. Good to see a bib-brother working the coals Have a good one!

Oh wise ones how do you size your bibs? My best fitting jeans are ~18 -18.5”. Did you try to match your best fitting jean size to your bib size or slightly larger for a more relaxed fit? Thank you for sharing your collective wisdom

[Oaktavia]

@Inorganic I wear the same size in my bibs as my jeans but YMMV.

[Inorganic]

@Oaktavia thanks!!! By size I think you mean waist dimension vs tag size, right? Based on tag size it seems these run a big - I usually get 34 but the 32’s are showing that 18” sweet spot.

[pechelman]

I'm usually a tag 34 in jeans and also took a 34 in 805s. Think of the waist measurement on bibs to be a bit more like a shirt hem opening.
