BROTHERHOOD OF BIB

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"

@GraemeE over my head...enlighten me

@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.

This is the same for me @Inorganic

[Inorganic]

@pechelman & @Oaktavia very helpful. Thanks gents

[Inorganic]

Well that escalated quickly…..is there some sort of rose ceremony that happens now? The fit is spot on (these are the 34’s)
