Still the buckles are messed up by AI.

Oh that’s pretty good. What ai are you using?

I only wear overalls that have a slightly baggy fit. Since the overalls are baggy, I am able to pull them up with the side buttons still buttoned. Also, I never have to undo the side buttons when I take my overalls off. The straps are the only thing keeping the overalls from falling off of my body.

This is how I put on my overalls everyday: With both of the straps unfastened and the bib hanging down, I pull the overalls up to waist level. I lift up the bib and hold it against my chest, using my right hand. With my left hand, I reach back and grab the left strap, then hook it to the bib. With my right hand, I reach back and grab the right strap and hook it to the bib.

This is exactly how I put on my overalls as well. It looks like you are wearing your overalls pulled up pretty high which looks very good. If you want, could you make a picture of your overalls in full view so we can see how the crotch area of your Dickies overalls look like?

For the last post. Those look amazing. I only wear overalls and have those same ones. Dickies are amazing overalls

Have you ever tried putting on your overalls in the opposite way?

With both of the straps unfastened and the bib hanging down, pull your overalls up to waist level. Lift up the bib and hold it against your chest, using your left hand. With your right hand, reach back and grab the right strap, then hook it to the bib. With your left hand, reach back and grab the left strap and hook it to the bib.

Like this.

I lay my overalls flat on my bed, with the front side facing up.

I step into the legs, one at a time, and pull the overalls up to my waist.

I button all of the side buttons on both sides and zip up the fly.

I tuck in my t-shirt, and smooth out any wrinkles.

I pull the bib up over my chest and hold onto it with one hand.

I pull each strap, one at a time, over my shoulders.

I place the buckle over the button on the top of the bib.

I pull up on the buckle to fasten it to the bib.

Thank you. I appreciate the info on that. The design of your overalls and the bib itself... look a lot similar to "traditional" overalls. I only prefer to wear overalls that have a simple bib which covers almost all of my chest area. They also must have a large bib pocket.

I recently found a brand new pair of Uskees Christopher overalls on ebay and bought them. I still need to adjust my straps to get the perfect fit. The denim is pretty lightweight, yet confortable.

Those are some pretty awesome looking overalls! Once you get the straps adjusted, I'm sure they will fit wonderfully. I would tighten up the shoulder straps and get them to be as short as possible.

Could not agree more. Straps should be short as possible for the best fit. I only wear overalls and that is the best fit for me. I even wear dickies as well.

Dickies overalls are available in other colors, besides the most popular Stonewashed Indigo Blue (SNB) and Indigo Blue (NB). The "DB100" style comes in "Brown Duck", "
Black" and "Timber Brown". I've been considering ordering a black or brown duck pair to add to my collection.

I have been considering as well and will eventually get other dickies styles. I only wear overalls and always keep stocked. Dickies are amazing overalls and always enjoy wearing

Back then in 2003 Czech Republic very few guys wore overalls. I was 6 years old at the time, and I still remember my first feelings of wearing overalls. One day my mom took me to a newly opened secondhand store to get new pants. I saw her take the overalls out of the pile and tell me to go try them on in the stall. I was excited about them. After putting them on I had to show my mom, and I came out and a friend from preschool saw me, he came with his mom too. I saw my friend looking at me and smiling. At that moment I felt embarrassed. My mom said I was going to grow into them, perfect for the beginning of school, and said I should leave the overalls already on. At that moment I felt happy but also embarrassed. When I got to kindergarten a few of my classmates started calling me a baby and making fun of me. But I didn't want to stop wearing them because of that. After a few weeks of proudly wearing the overalls, the taunting stopped a little. Then the bullying continued in 1st grade. But I liked them enough to wear them until 5th grade.

I would love to discuss your life with overalls. I wished I had overalls when I was a kid so you were lucky!

All of your stories are inspirational! I started wearing them at 21, sadly. Had the Lee mega bib that Niall Horan wore and ever since, I kept buying new ones. Got two pairs of Carhartt WIP and one pair of vintage Dickies and I love them! :D It was scary wearing them in public, but whenever I see another guy wear them in my hometown, I get excited and want to wear them again. I even got complimented over the years, so it's worth the risk for the joy! We can all normalise them so more guys will wear them.

I would love to discuss more on Discord. shreddedwheat_ :)

I was teenager, in the late 1990's, when the popularity of overalls "peaked". Several other students in my classes at school would occasionally wear overalls. These classmates were mainly girls, but also included a few guys. I liked the way they looked on other people. I had never owned or worn overalls before and wanted to buy myself a pair. I found a pair of overalls while browsing around at a local thrift store. They still had the tags on them, which probably meant that someone must have bought them elsewhere, changed their mind and donated them to the thrift store.

I tried them on in a changing room and they fit perfectly. I purchased the overalls and left. I mainly wore them in the evening and on the weekends. I was nervous about wearing them to school, because none of my friends had seen me in overalls before. I was worried that other students might think that I looked weird and awkward wearing overalls.

One afternoon, I invited a friend over to hang out. We were playing video games in my bedroom. My friend saw my overalls hanging up in my closet.

He told me that he never knew that I wore overalls and that they looked nice and comfortable. He asked me where I got them. My friend asked me if he could try them on. He was curious about how it felt to wear overalls. I told him that was okay with me. He went to the bathroom, took off his jeans and came back into my room with the overalls on. He was wearing the overalls with both straps unfastened and the bib hanging down. He said that they looked cool and casual.

This person looks great in overalls, but seems to be wearing his Dickies bibs a little too low. They would fit better if he were to shorten the straps and make the bib higher on his chest.

A friend of mine often wears Dickies overalls and I thought they looked awesome on him. So I bought myself a pair. This is my first time wearing overalls. I tried them on yesterday and I look like a penguin, waddling around with a drop crotch and parachute legs. I’d say I have an average build, I’m 5’11 & 200lbs. I’m trying to imagine who possibly has the body proportions that would make this garment a “perfect fit”??

I literally have to cinch the straps as tight & far back as they’ll go. And then I’m walking around with the hardware glinting behind my shoulder blades. Even then, the hem needs to be rolled 3 inches or more if I’m wearing sneakers.

Am I overreacting or all these overalls really that good.

I also bought my first Dickies overall this week and the legs are ridiculously wide to the point of comedy. I ordered 2" less than my usual inseam since Dickies also run tall so they fit in that regard at least, but the legs just feel completely silly, I don't know how they can be enjoyed like this.

Dickies overalls are truly amazing and beautiful. However that depends on the type of overalls you like. The classic Dickies overalls fit loose around the body. If you prefer more tight fitting overalls then i would suggest to try out more modern overalls instead of the classic overalls like Dickies, Carhartt, Key, Roundhouse, etc. Also be aware that you choose the right length for the overalls. This is the second number e.g. an overalls with size w40 x 38 has a waist size w40 and the legs are 38 inches long. In your case I recommend 32 or 30 as the length of the legs.

Buying the perfect overalls online is difficult because there are more variables at play in comparison with buying normal pants. Besides all the factor that you need to consider with buying normal pants (like the width of the legs and the waist) with overalls there are even more things you need to consider for example the length of the crotch, the size of the bib, the back of the overalls, etc. Therefor I highly recommend trying overalls before buying them if possible.

I tried adjusting my overalls so that they sit higher up on my chest, by shortening the straps. My overalls feel so much better now. I love the feeling of the bib "hugging" my chest as I walk and when I lean forward while I'm sitting down.

The overalls fit you very good.
The higher the overalls are pulled up, the more enjoyable the overalls feel. The whole point of overalls is that you wear 'pants' which can be pulled up higher than usual. The comfortable, secure and enclosed feeling of the bibs can only be achieved when they are pulled up as high as possible. You are wearing your overalls nice high. However I see that the upper part of the bib is slightly curved. Maybe you could pull them up even higher. Try adjusting your straps even shorter such that the upper part of your bib reaches the collar or your t-shirt or even better when you feel a sweet and soft touch of the upper bib on your throat.

Thanks for the advice. I was wondering how I could get the bib on my overalls to sit flat on my stomach -- without having that gap in the top of bib. I will give that a try and see how it goes.

Dickies are great overalls to wear and glad to have as i only wear overalls. That said my dickies have been switched to for sleeping in as i sleep better when in em. The other brands are for the day

i feel you only need higher if youll be wearing them on their own i.e without a shirt

When it comes to overalls, there are many different ways of wearing them. Some ways of wearing overalls might look better and feel better on your body than other ways. We could all probably agree that people should wear their overalls with the bib up and both straps fastened. That could be like the "golden rule" of wearing overalls.

Some people might like to adjust the straps so that they are really loose. When doing that, the bib is positioned low on the chest. Although there's nothing wrong with wearing your overalls like that, if you shorten the straps and make the bib higher on your chest, the overalls will "hug" your body more. That is the best feeling in the world to experience! Go ahead. Give it a try. See how you like the feeling... If you like it, great! If you don't, that's okay, too. Everybody's different.

His overalls straps are a little uneven. Gotta make those straps even... then the bib won't look so crooked!

Levi's overalls? How do they look with the bib on your chest and both straps fastened and adjusted as snug as they will go?

The look amazing up thank you. Here is a photo. I only wear down when it gets too hot here or absolutely necessary(only twice). Otherwise overall up and only wear overalls at all times

I see that the Levi's overalls also come in "heavy metal black". I wonder if wearing black overalls with a black t-shirt would look good?

I have seen those and have considered getting. Black on black i think will look good

Thanks ! I like the urban outfitters one too, although this shade of blue can be a bit difficult to match with shirts other than white or black. The black one (from boohoo) is the pair I wear the most.
I want to wear overalls more often, but I'm a very shy guy who cares a bit too much about other's opinions, and I'm the only one in my family and friends who likes overalls, so yeah...

Welcome. Overalls are amazing to wear for sure. The urban outfitters are amazing to wear as well but can be hard to style sometimes. I have the light and mid blue both. I love your black overalls as they look amazing. Eventually i want to get a black pair to my collection as well so it adds to my only overalls routine. That will take time though. Glad you are wearing and with what you have confidence level will go up as you wear more snd more

One of the reasons I wear the black pair the most is because I can easily dress them up with a nice button down shirt. Also, the legs are not as wide as the two others, as I'm not that used to wearing baggy pants.
Oh, and one nice thing is that overalls seam to slowly comeback in fashion in Montreal (where I live), because I can see guys wearing some from time to time in the streets, in the subway and even in my university :)

That is a good plan for sure. I want to do the same so i can continue overalls only. Overalls are coming back in style in my area and just switched to overalls only. Eventually ill get a black pair and be good to go

I personally think of buying a dark blue one and a brown one next. Oh, and I don't know if if you have instagram, but here's mine : samuelmorency74

Adding you now

Good idea as well and those are great colors to have

If you are too nervous about wearing overalls in public, you can put a shirt or a sweater on over the top, so it doesn't look like you're wearing overalls.

That is exactly what I do if I don’t fancy showing off my dungarees in public. I feel really good knowing I am still wearing them, rather than ordinary jeans. If I feel confident I will show them off regardless.

I like the way my overalls look when I'm sitting down.
