I usually use the bib pocket to store my sketching stuff, though if I wanted to bring my sketchbook then I’d have to use a bag. For small items though it eliminates the need of a bag and I regularly use it when on bike rides.

I’m comfortable wearing my overalls around the neighborhood and on bike rides but still warming up to school.

How did you explain to your parents about getting overalls for the first time? I want to but I don’t know if my parents will understand lol

I live with family and one day i said I wanted to go back to wearing overalls. My family took a look at a photo of what i wanted and initially said no but with persistence they eventually said that will look good on you go ahead and give a try. They were rvca’s and they were great. Eventually i lost weight and they became too big. That said i began stocking up as I knew i only wanted to wear overalls and nothing else. Family was good with it and I bought a bunch of em which include,levis, carharrt wip and peviani and overalls is the only thing i wear. All you have to do is tell em you want em with persistence like i did and now thats all i wear

Hope that helps. Your family should understand so you can be in overalls.

I begged for a pair when i was 13, but mom thought i would be too bashful to wear them. Around 14, my grandma unexpectedly gave my 2 pairs that fit real well. I was bashful to wear them at first as it was summer. But the more i wore them, the more i liked them. Once i was brave enough i wore them to a friends house, then it was a lot easier to wear bib in public.

Declan McKenna must be a bibboy himself. I wonder how many pairs of overalls he owns? I've seen pictures of him in Dickies, Key and Carhartt overalls.

Great job. Once you get used to overalls the easier it is to wear out. It took me about a year to adjust to that and after wearing to my friends house i made the switch to overalls only. It’s perfect now and very easy

I am super curios about that, too

Thank you for the compliment. They are very close to yours and will be perfect for sure. It may be one version earlier but the fit should be close to the same and look the same. It was hard finding 36x30 but finally got it. The bernies look amazing and i think will be perfect for you.

Looking for photos when they come and when mine come in I’ll post as well.

I’ll make sure to post the images once they arrive, I went on a bike ride today and took some pictures of me wearing overalls. I mostly wore a sweater over them but I did ride around some people without it, it’s more so people from school seeing me I’m worried about.
About the chatting apps though, where can I find you since I think we can talk about overalls as well as other topics.

Without the sweater around my waist.

Overalls look amazing. I can be found on apps such as instagram, skype, snapchat and even phone texting. Let me know what works and we’ll connect. I look forward to a full chat with you. Once i know app you want to use I’ll provide username.

Instagram is perfect, so you can give me the account for that. If you want though I’ll give you my account.

Use owenswilliam30

If you cannot find let me know and well go through yours

I’ve found you and can see you do like overalls. I’ll most likely talk later though and in places I do have time but thanks.

Could someone delete post>>6441. Thanks as no password to delete

I think your look in >>6393 looks the best and is perfectly adjusted. The bib is nice and high on the chest and the strap adjusters sit on top of your shoudlers. The overalls look too loose when the strap adjuster is all the way forward near the end of the strap. That is my opinion. Hope this helps...

That is what i was thinking and made adjustments to all my overalls except osh kosh to reflect your comment. Osh kosh has to be loose to fit the best.

Those look amazing. The back looks almost like Carhartt wip. From all the pics you have posted you look great in overalls. Do you wear everyday like me or just sometimes?

Those overalls must be vintage... they look nice! Lee manufactured overalls in the late 1990s. A guy and several girls who went to my school wore them quite frequently.

I remember lee overalls. They had a nice big front pocket that held lots of stuff. And they fit as comfortable as OshKosh, and were available in teen sizes

Well said. Couldn’t agree more although ill take it a step further and say overalls 24/7 once i get a separate pair for sleeping. I should be wearing overalls and nothing else.

That's good to know. So, if you are looking for a good pair of overalls, you should look for a pair where the size of the bib and the crotch are almost the same. I've been looking to buy some fashion overalls. However, the product pictures on the store sites look different than standard overalls do. The crotch sections on them look short and the bib sizes seem to be quite small. If I were to pull the overalls as high as I wanted them, they would probably give me an uncomfortable wedgie feeling.

Could not agree more. I always buy a mixture of both and have many brands. I wear overalls in all situations and plan to make it overalls only. Then means ii will wear to bed and each day and only change from one overalls to the next.

You are absolutely right. The length of the crotch must be at least the same as the length of the bib. Actually the crotch should be much longer than the bib. If the length of the crotch is shorter than the bib (as is the case with most fashionable overalls), the overalls won't be comfortable to wear.

The Osh Kosh overalls on the picture are a great example of overalls with a long crotch. When the crotch is nice long you can pull the overalls up very high to the point that the bib touches your throat. This is the best and most comfortable way to wear overalls because you feel your entire body being covered by the overalls.

Some of the overalls made by Osh Kosh, Dickies, Levis, etc have a long crotch. Another options is to buy overalls with a long inseam. Longer inseam means longer crotch (usually).

I have attached a picture of me in my Dickies Indigo Rigid W40 x 36" overalls.They are my favorite overalls and I enjoy wearing them every day. The crotch is super long and the bib touches very lightly my throat. Thus, come on guys and pull those overalls up high.

I also love to wear overalls and I wear them almost every day. I'm not quite to the point where I feel comfortable wearing them openly in public. I wear overalls in public, but I put a hoodie or pull-over over the bibs so that no one can tell that I am wearing overalls. I have an obsession for the feeling of being enclosed in denim.

You’ll get there soon . At first i was the same way. I only wore on weekends with them mostly covered up. When I began working from home i said no more and began wearing openly everyday. If its cold outside i tuck the pullover inside the overalls so the bib shows at all times and avoid jackets whenever possible. I love to wear overalls and have begun to dislike jeans and will eventually get rid of em. Overalls are the best way to go and should be worn openly. Just go for it and you’ll be fine and you’ll probably get compliments along the way like i did.

Wlo75 has given good advice how to start wearing overalls in public. I would add my recommendations which I gained from wearing my overalls in public. The first and most important step is to wear overalls every single day all the time. This is crucial because it will get you used to the feeling of wearing overalls. This way you become addicted to the feeling of the overalls and will start to love your overalls more and more. Eventually the love for overalls will overrule the fear of wearing overalls in public. Cover your overalls with a zip-hoodie. Make sure that people can see just a few centimeters of the top of the bib by lowering the zipper of the hoodie. Lower the zipper even more and more such that more of the beautiful front of the overalls get visible. The next step is to fully open up hoodie such that the overalls are completely visible. Everyone can now clearly see that you are not Joe Average wearing normal boring average pants. No, you are a overalls wearer who loves his overalls. If people can see the entire front part of the bibs, why not put off that hoodie so the entire bibs are visible. If people see the front of the bibs, they already know you are hiding overalls. There is no point in hiding it with a hoodie. You can just as well take off the hoodie en show your overalls proudly to everyone in public.

Wearing overalls in public is very intense but very enjoyable. If you reach the point where you wear overalls in public, you will want to do it again.

He is right on that. If you add what he mentioned to what I mentioned you will be golden and wear overalls everyday openly. Be proud to wear overalls and you will probably get compliments as well. For me i take it a step further and sleep in Them as well as my goal is overalls only and only change from one overalls to the next pair. I

I appreciate DutchBibBoy's advice for becoming more comfortable about wearing overalls in public. I love wearing my Dickies and I wouldn't want everybody to think that I am trying to hide them. However, when it comes to wearing overalls, my preferences are slightly different. I prefer wearing the shortest available inseam, which is "30". I have my straps adjusted so that the bottom of the bib and top of the crotch line up with my navel. When I sit down the top of the bib almost reaches my throat, but doesn't touch it. I like the cool jingle/jangle sound the buckles make when I move my shoulders. I always have the bib high on my chest. I wouldn't have it any other way.

Dutchbibboy is right and well done on your end. I do the same by wearing the same way. I also wear a different pair everyday like he does as well and proudly show and say i wear overalls and proud of it. I get many compliments and folks stop and ask me where to buy as they need to wear. i am fully overalls only and tend to sleep in them as well so that i sleep and wear the next day changing into another overalls the next night. I do not wear jeans anymore and my philosophy is unless absolutely necessary if its not overalls i do not touch or wear. Also thank you to dutchbibboy for his advice as he has helped me as well.

Looks amazing. Can you tell me the exact model?`
and where to get it

thanks

It is very fun to wear overalls indeed i went through same process by starting with levis brand. I got many compliments and became very confident. Next work sent us to work from and started stocking up by replacing all worn out jeans to overalls. I keep one jeans for when absolutely necessary but wear a different brand of overalls each day. I look better in overalls and its more comfortable. My collection does include a blue dickies as well. Great story and well done.
