Carhartt mens Loose Fit Firm Duck Bib Overall

To begin with I did a lot of research on carhartt sizes, Carhartt size recommendations and Amazon’s sizing instructions. From my research and trying on a few pair…..Carhartt runs a little larger than most brands, new firm duck will shrink a bit. Unwashed the overalls were a little larger and extra long. 5’9 160-170lbs. 33”-34” waist in normal pants works for me Normal inseam 30”. I ordered size large short ( 2 sizes larger than my normal waist per Carhartt ). The short is stated to be 29”-30” inseam. New unwashed, mine were around 32” or more. I was worried there was no way I would be happy with the fit. Wondered if I should have ordered a medium short or if the legs on either size were just going to be too long. I washed them with a little detergent and fabric softener on sanitary setting ( Hot water ). Next tumbled dry on Hot with 5 tennis balls ( to help break in the firm duck ) for 1 hour. The bibs fit perfectly!!! Fabric is still stiff and can use some breaking in naturally by wearing, but couldn’t ask for a better fit. The length is perfect if you have a 30” normal inseam and like the bottom of your pants leg to ride low but not touch the ground when wearing work boots. Enough room to wear a pair of pants underneath or long John’s. The straps could be shorter. I have them adjusted to be as short as possible in the elastic area of the strap. The strap slide / lock can be slid onto the duck material part of straps if they need to be shortened more. The straps can always be sewn shorter if need be. The firm duck is heavy duty. The bibs have more weight to them than normal pants ( obviously lol! ), but they are work bibs. A little weight for a product that should last many years. The cut, style, and color look good. The relaxed fit is on the baggy side. The zippered legs ( from ankle to thigh ) work great! Nice heavy duty zipper that looks like it will chew up mud and spit it out. Nice, easy to use snaps on zipper storm closure. The firm duck helps prevent cold wind from getting through the bibs. I’ve been wearing a thin base layer, hoodie, and the bibs. I’ve stayed warm. My findings with this purchase have been: Carhartt bibs run large, especially in length! Expect shrinkage. If you need to shrink them… soak bibs in hot water, followed by tumble dry on med / high dryer setting. One more thing to add: The double knee material is designed to hold a Carhartt Knee pad insert. I did purchase the knee pads and installed them in my bibs. First off is the knee pad inserts by Carhartt are amazing. The only downside is there is nothing sewn internally between the 2 layers of duck material to hold the knee insert in place. It will slide all the way to the bottom of the double material on each leg. I tried mine for a week and they will work as is but to be perfect for me, the inserts need to stay permanently higher for comfort and function. I started with finding the perfect knee pad placement for comfort and function. I did want my knee insert to protect a little above my knee. The Carhartt knee inserts have a half moon cut out in the center, at the bottom. I used spyder wire braid ( fishing line ) and made a small stitch only through both pieces of the duck material, ( in the center of the half moon cutout) ensuring not to stitch or puncture the knee insert. The stitch holds the insert at the correct height and allows it to slide up if needed, but not down. Works great! That is my only gripe about the bibs. On Carhartt’s site it shows gussets that hold the knee pad inserts. My bibs do NOT have the gussets and is why I had to improvise. Other reviews about the bibs and knee inserts state they also have / had issues with the knee pad inserts sliding to the bottom of the knee material pocket. It’s an easy fix! Don’t let it steer you Away. The bibs and knee pads are awesome!! Just improvise a little! I hope this info helps others interested in purchasing a pair of firm duck Carhartt bib’s. I’m definitely enjoying my Carhartt bibs!!!!!

These are extremely high quality and very durable. They are not as stretchy as other models but are equally comfortable for either working or casual wear. The length was perfect for my 6'4 husband, maybe even a tiny bit on the longer side, which surprised us - we never find things that are even close to being 'too long' for him! But with boots or work shoes it will be just fine. Also water seems to wick right off of them. Overall: functionality: 10/10 Style: They are high quality and actually look quite nice as casual work wear or just casual wear for errands! Value: I'd say the price is fair considering how well they are made. I truly feel like my guy will get years out of them without tearing them up - and that is saying a lot, as he works outside and is rough on his clothes. He loves them and I feel like they are a great value, I highly recommend!

As Promised. Very warm and is working well.

Very happy with these overalls. At first I thought the size I had chosen was too big, but after one wash they shrunk down to a perfect fit as expected. They have been durable and comfortable for a variety of work. The one improvement they could have is the suspender hardware. The slides that shorten or lengthen the suspenders slip gradually down while I am moving around. This loosens up the overalls and make them less comfortable. I stick a pin in the suspenders to stop these slides from moving, but it shouldn’t happen in the first place.

They fit true to size, but if your stomach overhangs your waist, you should measure it. They’re made of a thick material that’s very comfortable and feels like high-quality fabric.

The quality works great in the construction workforce. I bought a pair for my boyfriend and he loves wearing them for work. They are super comfortable especially since he’s an ironworker. The pocket allow him to store his tools and other item such as pens and his phone easily.

Comfortable and fits to size.

The Carhartt Bib Overalls are excellent for work and even casual wear. Fast delivery especially just days before Christmas, arrived on time. What can I say, you just cant go wrong with Carhartt

The quality is superior to others on the market. I bought these for my son who is really hard on his clothes due to the type of work he does. These last far longer than any other he's tried.

素材もよく、重宝しています。

Awesome quality

I bought these for my son and they are worth the price. Carhartt can be very expensive but I found the price very reasonable. My son loves them and all the pockets for his tools. Sizing is true to size

I am just under 5‘10“, and I am around 145 pounds, I purchased a 30 X 34, because I like to wear a hoodie underneath and I like my pants a little bit long and for me these fit perfect. It is not worth the extra cost in my mind to purchase the washed version of these, because these being firm are stronger than the washed versions and will last you longer. I am a little disappointed in the shoulder strap hook ups as they are not all that strong and they’re pretty cheap.
