BROTHERHOOD OF BIB

[ZackB]

@Go-For-Chill awesome man, looks like you nailed the fit. Where was the concert?

[Go For Chill]

@ZackB Thanks! It was in Fort Worth, TX. Dickies Arena.

[ZackB]

@Go-For-Chill that’s dope man, I need to make it to a wu-tang concert one day. Looks like it was a great time

[dubj7]

Oh man - I wanna join! How does this work? Patch is sick.

[chrisjohnnick]

@dubj7 is that a Vanderbilt hat? You in Nashville, too? Bibs are looking good. My unofficial summer uniform here in nash are bibs and a tank top.

[dubj7]

@chrisjohnnick Yessir! My wife won't let them be a uniform for me, but it will be yard work (going to be painful with humidity at times), and farm trips...

Team Bib, is this a catch or release back to the good IH folks? I need some advice. I took a gamble with a 30, hoping for a slightly more fitted look. I don't intend on layering underneath. Due to my long torso, I have maxed out the straps. 5'10" and 165 lbs. Can I pull off or send back. Thoughts?

[SourPower]

@derek111 I think mobility is key with bibs, they are a workwear piece and you should definitely be able to comfortably touch your toes. If they feel too tight, I think you should size up. The straps seem short. I am a tag 38 in 90% of IH pants and went with a tag 38 in the 805 and they fit perfectly.

[ZackB]

@derek111 damn man, I’d send them back. I’m 5’10 and a half and have way more room than that on the straps. I must just have a shorter torso than you.

[derek111]

@ZackB @SourPower agreed gentlemen. Even maxed out, I feel like I could use more in the straps. I glad am I tried them out though, too bad they aren't for me. Appreciate the feedback!

[labrat]

Size up or two…

[SKT]

@Alex i remember some talk a while back about making some changes to the strap length or design…is that still a possibility in the future?

[tody]

@SKT There was, after I posted pictures of my disaster with the brown duck 806. Got a black 806 subsequently, the straps were much longer.
I am not sure if and how the strap length is specified for production. Let's make a separate thread where everyone can post his model, tag size and strap length. I can start that later today.

@derek111

Out of interest what inside leg do you wear? I'm bib curious and also have a long torso.

[flannel slut]

@tody dude. Full transparency, I had a good gut laugh at your expense off those camel toe duck bib picks. It was also total confirmation without having met you, that you are a fun hang being able to laugh at yourself like that and share w the rest of us. Cheers.

I don’t think that needs it’s own thread. Since this is a general bib thread cant it just go here?

Unnecessary or overly specific threads when a related thread already exists are a pet peeve.

I don’t need to see a whole thread about how the 33 you bought on Grailed fits in the shoulders.

Not you personally @tody but you catch my drift.

[derek111]

@NickD in general I like a 33 hem with a double cuff, I will measure what that equates to later today. But for example, these are my 1955's hemmed to 33" with a Japanese cuff. They are sitting above my hips where they should. It shows how my proportions are a bit wonky.

[Matt]

I think sizing up in those bobs would work out well for you.

[tody]

@Matt no pics, just collecting measurements. can be deleted later…

[tody]

@flannel-slut there was only one place on the internet to share them….
