BROTHERHOOD OF BIB
-
Looking forward to joining the brotherhood soon. Last summer I got really into overalls and coveralls, ready to commit to a legit pair. I still have several pairs of 80's-early 90's US Army coveralls in green that I don't see myself ever not wearing.
In all my other IH jeans, I's either a 33 or 34. (33 in 666S and 666SII, 34 in 666XHS and 634S) Should I do a 34 in these?
-
@chrisjohnnick definitely a 34.
-
@chrisjohnnick what he said ^^^
-
I second @Filthy and affirm @LewisStonehouse & @endo's seconding of @Filthy
I'm a tagged 34 in the 634S and tagged 33 in the 634-XHS. A 34 in the 805 is perfect for me.
-
Thanks all. That takes a lot of the guess work out on my end, and all I have to do is hit buy when it's available.
-
-
I go 34 in the XHSib and got these in 34. Good luck with the hunt, hope to see some fit pics soon
-
With each and every wear I am slowly finding how awesome these bibs really are. Wake up late? Just jump right into the bibs pjs and all and viola ready to roll out the door fully dressed. Want to hit up some spots after work without being all dusty and raggedy? Just slip em right off!
-
HELL YES @RoxRocks86
I will say that anytime I need to do more than walk about or lounge these are INTENSE and far too hot. How've they been for you working in them so far?
Edit: That Good Art gear looks rad af.

BROTHERHOODmake that SISTERHOOD of the bib. Holy smokes @RoxRocks86. and Luke is right that Good art EDC is stunning. -
@henry_david haha yeah i can only wear these comfortably to work if the location is breezy and not super humid. It’s 82F, 54% humidity with 14mph wind right now so it’s survivable
But using these for work have been great. Love how useful the pockets are when I just need to carry around a few hand tools/fasteners and best part is not feeling weighed down from the hips like on normal denim when hanging tools off a belt or pocket.

My hickory bib lending itself to a footpeg swap on my DR650 SE today,
along with IHSN 01 sneakers and an IH thermal which felt good between my back and the chilly floor.
-
Casual, chic, and cool af. Good work, @motojobobo

Great way to put them to work!I agree the Hickory Bibs are looking great @motojobobo, are they the 17 oz version or the 12oz 807?
@RoxRocks86 thanks for the offer but plenty of ladders at work
I just meant I gotta get some more in the wild fit pics up (lounging lap dogs only count for half). -
Thank you all for the nice comments on my first bib pic!
@Joberwocky they are the 12 oz 807. Are these the lightestweight bibs by IH?
I got these on sale and that helped tip me over. I used to wear work overalls in my first job after college in the oil business, so I had some nice memories and decided to try these out. The downside is I didn’t have the benefit of learning from this brotherhood on how they are meant to fit. I’m wearing the straps as long as they go. These are much closer fitting on me than advised here… maybe I’ll lose some kilos to help the fit
The multitude of pockets are a godsend when you still guess around for wrench sizes and the more tools on you, the less frequently I have to get off the floor and back to the tool chest!
