BROTHERHOOD OF BIB
-
Dear god
Just how I feel about it, too
Sounds good, @Giles. I've wanted the 814 for a while so I'll be getting those first and then looking to see which overalls I need next lol.
-
@endo ugly duckling? more like rise of the Phoenix!!!! Those 806 are a fantastic choice & you look great in them
-
@Giles is the Wabash sizing the same as the denim bibs?

looks like you've been bitten by the bib bug! which is way better than a bed bug

For all intents and purposes, yes….....Likely to be minor variations, but they'll be minor....
-
As someone bitten by the bib bug, I'm a bit unclear about the sizing of these. If I have a 34 in the XHS (the waist in that being 34.7) would I presumably get a 34 in these? Thanks, everyone looking killer in these
-
I'd say 36.
-
36? That would be a 41 waist in these, are.they intended to fit that relaxed? I understand the sizing doesn't take into account the thickness of the fabric, so the 39 waist of the 34 on paper already seems pretty large.
-
I think @LewisStonehouse was in the exact same boat as you. I suggested a 36 and they worked out. Looser and comfy is the point of these, not form fitting. I suggested he bend and the waist and attempt to touch his toes, if he had to exhale to do this or must groan when he stands up out of a chair a 36 would be better. If you're one of those muscly athletic types probably and 34 would be better.
-
Ha, by no means a muscly athletic type, but for sure on the shorter side. 5'6" if it matters
-
I don't know how much the bib rise or straps vary from size to size. I would send the Stubborn Crew an email or use the live chat and get them to see. I still think bigger is better for these and I wish the bib was longer on these. I wish they had a size 40.
-
@Joberwocky I'm a 34 in the 634 and 888 cuts and wear a 36 in the bib. It's a very relaxed fit in the bib. That being said, I could probably get away with the 34 if I wanted the bib more fitted, but I much prefer the relaxed fit in this.
-
@LewisStonehouse @Filthy @sabergirl I appreciate all the input, now I've just gotta commit! It was just my birthday on the 3rd, who's to say I shouldn't belatedly treat myself ?? I expect I'd get no judgement here

@Joberwocky It really depends how roomy you want them. Like you, I'm a 34 (real 34.7) in my 634s. Here, I also took a 34 (real 39.5), which for me fits perfect. It is definitely roomy, not tight at all.
-
@Joberwocky – I wear an XL in work shirts from IH (looser) or a L (tighter) but prefer XL. I wear a tagged 34" in the 634S and a tagged 33" in the 634-XHS. I chose to order the 805 in a 34" and this is how it fits on me:
I am a true 34" with midrise (634/other IH bottoms) and can (and do) wear a 33" at my true waist with higher rise pants/chinos from other brands (Dickies for example).
Edit: I am also 6'6" and 190/195lbs and have a 35" inseam.

@Filthy @Brock @RoxRocks86 @endo @henry_david you guys wear your overalls so well and in each with your individual swagger. I don't know if I could pull the overall look off myself and was wondering if any of you guys had the same thoughts and feelings before committing to purchasing a pair and how you feel now you taken the jump?
