I am after a washed-out vintage fade with these...getting there. I tried starching these in June but absolutely hated the feeling on my legs. Washed it out the following day. I have no idea how Mike was able to stand it.

You doing anything special in the washing of these @Oaktavia to get that look or just washing like normal? I'm going after the same thing on a wabby shirt.

[Oaktavia]

@pechelman same as my denim: soak first, inside out, washing machine (side loader), no spin, drip dry. I bought these from Clint and they had minimal fading about a year and a half ago. Washed half a dozen times. Wabash takes well to wearing and washing, wearing and washing.

Right on @Oaktavia

Any thoughts on these in cold weather? Perhaps even throwing on over a thermal layer?

Question on sizing for these overalls. Do I size similar to my IH jean size? Also, I would be using them on the farm and need to be able to squat easily, at least eventually if the fabric streches. So should I size up? I wear a 33 in IH jeans for reference.

@Elephantricity as we do not do a tag 33 in these, a tag 34 is going to tick all those boxes for you for sure.

@Tobi bibs and birks. Can't get more laid back than that.

[Tobi]

@Oaktavia don't know how some people can live without birks. They go a bit crazy though.. lately with their international success and an endless stream of fashion items....

[Oaktavia]

@Tobi I have definitely been seeing people wearing them more on my TV screen these days.

@Tobi that's a sweet combo dude! Looking super comfy and fly as hell!

Got a sizing question: does the 36 with a 41" waist sound right if I'm happy with 39-41" in regular jeans? I'm wearing 666XHS in 40 right now and have a little room to spare.

@Aerodyne my 2 cents and experience with the 805 Bib and the advice I got was to also look at other measurements like the thigh, maybe even inseam and knee... since the waist is very loose on the bib.

I sized mine to be loose but kinda snug, I could go up one and have a very loose fit. Got a 32 in the 805 and am a 32/33 in XHS. But then again, never look at tag sizes

[Aerodyne]

@Larkens Heard that! It feels crazy ordering a 36, but the measurements don't lie.
