Those look good on you. I have dickies overalls exactly the same and love em. I only wear overalls(day and night)and dickies are great to have in my collection.

Thank you. I always wear my overalls with the Bib pulled up nice and high. They look awful when the bib is worn too low.

You’re welcome and dickies are a great brand of overalls. I try to do the same on my overalls as well. I love overalls and they are very comfortable. I am much better off in overalls and that is why I switched to overalls only.

I love dickies and i wear the same way as you.

>>6384 Those Dickies overalls look great on you! Thanks for sharing.

Thank you much. I have 3 dickies and the rest Carhartt wip, urban outfitters, levis, osh kosh to round out the collection. Overalls are great and just recently switched to overalls only.

The picture of you wearing the overalls high is of course the best. You look very neat when the overalls are worn high like that. Not only that it also feels much more comfortable to have the overalls pulled up high.

On the picture I have attached to this comment you can see me wearing my Dickies Indigo Rigid overalls. They are my favorite overalls. What do you think? Are these overalls worn high or at normal height? I would like to wear these overalls higher since they would feel better and more comfortable.

Another picture of me in the same overalls

Thank you. Dickies are the best. Especially when worn high. I love em. We have chatted before and your advice has helped me a lot. I am fully overalls only and only go from one overalls to the next. Thanks again

Dutchbibboy yours look amazing as well and worn at the perfect height. Best way to go.

You are wearing the overalls at a perfect height in image >>6388 . The overalls you're wearing in image >>6387 look good, but could be puled up higher. If I were wearing your outfit, I would have the top of the bib line up with the bottom of the hood part of the hoodie, right where the drawstrings come out.

Not sure how high you should wear your overalls? I use my shirt collar as a guide. The top of my overalls bib always comes up to my shirt collar.

Those are actually at a perfect height. I wear only overalls and that brand and wear at that length.

That is a very good rule. With this rule you are certain that the overalls are at a decent height. When the overalls are high they feel much more comfortable and you feel you are really wearing overalls. However the height of the overalls changes when you sit and when you are standing. The overalls are often higher when you sit down. I suppose the overalls should also reach the collar of the T-shirt when standing?

Just curious are you overalls only like me or do you prefer other a mixture of overalls and other things.

I see what you mean. I guess I was referring to how the overalls should fit when you're standing up. If sitting down, the bib would sit higher, right? I like how your overalls fit while you are sitting down -- very handsome. >>6388

Thank you for the kind message. I also really like how your overalls fit. They fit your perfectly. Keep wearing your overalls like that!

Yes, that is correct when siting down the bib is always higher in comparison with standing straight up. Feel free to follow me on Instagram. My account name is: overalls5421.

I have adjusted the overalls higher. Below are some pictures of the same overalls but adjusted higher. It indeed feels much better to wear them higher. However I need to wear them more often at this height so I get more used to them.

@wlo75. Yes I only love to wear overalls and coveralls. But the overalls must be covering the entire body. Most fashionable "overalls" are just normal pants with straps attached to them. I refuse to call them "overalls". There are some good fashionable overalls like the classic ones made by Levis.

The overalls fit much higher now.

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.
