      Thanks @Pipeboss713
      Consensus was to size up, but I'm a fairly small guy so I was concerned with these being too big.  Buying my actual IH pant size was a good move for me.  Roomy but not over large

          Congrats @hajduk !  I own the 21oz and the Wabby overalls, can't wait to see some pics of your herringbone ones!  If you end up hating them, I know another bib wearer who takes a 34  😉

          It's me, I'm talking about me haha

              Nice pickup! I saw those and really wished they were a 36 or 38. Glad they’re going to get some proper love.

                Help / Advice requested; Hi BIB brothers & sisters, I am wanting to tap into the collective wisdom of you all by asking a question on sizing. I have decided that now is the time for me to commit to purchasing a pair of black wabash overalls but the question is what waist size. With a tape measure against my skin my waist has an actual size of 34 inches. After reading this thread I have to admit I am still confused on sizing so what is your suggestion, advice?

                So to recap I am a true 34 inch waist so what size (in black wabash) should I purchase in an pair of Iron Heart overalls. Feedback encouraged. Thanks in advance

                  I wear a 34 in most IH jeans and got a 34 in both my 21oz and my indigo Wabash.  The overall fit of the Wabash ones is a little more trim (nothing major) presumably because the base fabric isn't as heavy.  This worked for me because I'm a smaller, thinner guy and I was concerned I'd be swimming in them.  Both pairs, when all buttoned and done up, fit fairly close in the abdomen, but not so much so that I don't have room to layer a sweatshirt underneath them.
                  GENERAL advice has been to go up one size from your normal pant size, since in fairness the bibs are intended more as a relaxed fit and not really intended to fit like my 34 777xhs.  If I weren't already somewhat in between a 33 and 34 I probably would have sized up too.  The thing to remember is the waist on the bibs will sit differently than a regular pair of jeans, and also won't give when you bend over the same.  You don't want to try and fit them so close that you'll be getting a little punch in the gut when you lean over.
                  I'm sure others can give some advice, but it's more a matter of how you want them to fit, and they're generally a little more versatile and comfortable sized up.

                    @Joberwocky thanks so much for your experience and feedback which is appreciated greatly. Hoping a few other will contribute so I can see how alternate viewpoints sit against your knowledge and experience. Sizing up one size may be difficult as I'm a 34 and there's a 34 and 36 available in Japan but not a 35. Hmmmm….

                        When people say size one up in bibs, they mean one tag size (2 inches).  They are only made in even tags

                          I don't think the bibs come in odd sizes, so sizing up for both of us from 34 would be the 36

                          What @Giles said, because I chose to respond to you before seeing if anyone else had chimed in  😃

                            After what @Joberwocky and @LewisStonehouse have said I reckon the ideal tag size for me would be a 34" waist. Thanks fellas for your insight and experience.

                                        Thanks Alex 🙂 it's neat because it lets you see what's through the viewfinder on your phone. But the sun was too bright to see what's on the screen. I was experimenting with some longer exposure times. But I haven't had a photography class in like 25 years so I forget just about everything.
