IH-805 - 21oz Indigo Selvedge Denim Double Knee Overalls

I have a flat “rear end” with a bit of a belly and not very tall and traditionally have issues keeeping jeans up (even wearing a belt). Think an inverted triangle narrowing downwards as far as body shape.

I would love a pair of overalls that are not double knee, as the only way I can usually wear denim is with suspenders so this might be a great way to get my IH fix. Browsing this forum wondering if there are people that wear these casually with shirts on top (thus hiding the belts) regularly. Am on the fence whether the double knee would work as a “regular wear” pair of trousers…

@redknight I have tried the shirt over the overalls and it’s tricky. You need to oversize the shirt for it to look right especially if wearing it buttoned up. It does look pretty good if wearing the shirt unbuttoned as an over shirt/jacket/shacket.

I have also found wearing oversized hoodies works pretty good as well.

The main issue is that it does look slightly bulky wearing tops like this. The best way for me is the unbuttoned over shirt look.

@goosehd thanks, that’s a great insight! Indeed I am concerned whether it will all “fit” underneath a regular sized IH shirt.. I don’t tend to wear my shirts unbuttoned

I do wear oversized hoodies and wide cut shirts but my dream would be a lighter denim (single, not double) overall!

I’ll sleep on it and browse a bit more, but I might be tempted on these for light work duty in and around the house and maybe casual wear with a shirt on top.
