Hey, man! Sometimes I do mild gardening in mine...

[ZackB]

@Go-For-Chill that’s the plan

Ok. In the club. Can't wait to take these to the farm.

Sizing advice, please…
My waist is a true 33”. The thigh on my jeans is a preferred 12.5”
I feel like a tag 32 in these would be what I need (sold out) for a clean looking fit. Any ideas from the collective hive on which tag would work for me?

[pechelman]

What width shirt opening do you normally buy @Mizmazzle ? I've found that considering the waist on bibs more as a shirt opening to be the ticket for me. This may not work for everyone though with different body shapes. Given we're not too dissimilar though, my guess is that you're probably best fit in a 32. If it helps, I can fit into 32s but they fit a bit more like pants and just start to take some tension in the waistband. This is to say they were just barely too small so I ended up in 34s.

[Mizmazzle]

@pechelman ok. Interesting. I’ll go check that. Whatever a size large tends to be in shirts is where I’ll be with shirt openings. Not a measurement I generally pay much attention to.

Edit: just measured a UHF work shirt opening at 21.25” This shirt fits about on average how I like my shorts to feel in that waist area, I suppose.

[pechelman]

Hmm. That's about the same as me on the shirt width but you're definitely more slim. Also I know you took a size up in that one lefty drop we both got our jackets but you layer it more. Im less sure now about the 32s but still think that's the right one given you normally take a size down in pants.

[Mizmazzle]

@pechelman yeah. That’s my gut too. I guess I wonder just how “relaxed” sizing up to a 34 would be. Def don’t want a baggy look. I could handle comfy relaxed. But super baggy wouldn’t be to my liking.

[pechelman]

All depends on how you want to wear them @Mizmazzle . I generally wear mine in the fall and winter over a hoodie so I like the extra room in 34s. As sabergirl and Mike had said a bunch here, you definitely don't want these tight or snug fitting anywhere. The extra weight from the double fronts and big cuffs keep them from looking overly baggie even though that's how they fit. Hit me up if you want me to take any detailed measurements on my pair vs whatever. I'm usually a size 34 in 666 and 634.
