Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great quality, great price

They're great! I've been wearing overalls at work (professional and around the house) for over 20 years. These are probably my favorites at the moment. I love the deep indigo color (caution: wash before wearing!) and love that there are no ridiculous belt loops at the back. There are two on the front but they are actually functional. Some things to know about sizing: I ordered size XL even though the size chart and other comments made me think I should have ordered larger. I had my third cesarean a few months ago and I hate it when my pants dig into the scar area, plus I'm cursed with a stupid skin band that makes it hard to get things right. Pants, even well-fitting ones, often have holes in the waist, are tight in the lower stomach, and hang too loosely from the hips. I wear a size around 14 although that's just for a looser fit around the scar. If it weren't a problem I probably wear a size 12, maybe a 10. So the XL size is bigger than I need. but I really like these loose ones! Length: tall ladies, you're in luck. They are slightly over 12 inches longer than I need. I'm 5'2" and usually have a 30" inseam. I folded them three times into a wide cuff and plan to trim them down after a few more washes. My little ones, don't complain. You can always cut the fabric, but you definitely can't add length. The fabric is not very thick. I'd say it seems pretty flimsy even, but it also seems pretty durable. The fabric has a little stretch, which makes bending, climbing, sitting, etc. comfortable and prevents sudden frontal wedging. I wore it to work outdoors in 90 degree high humidity weather and it was just light enough not to suffocate but thick enough to protect my skin from brushing and bugs. After that, he spent the day indoors, sitting at the top of the stairs and wiring. There were plenty of handy pockets to keep tools handy and full size pockets to actually put things in. Did you know that women's jeans sometimes have tiny pockets that you can't even get your hand in? The problem is not with them. I could hold my thicker-than-average phone in one and reach it with one hand. I think the only thing I don't like is that the straps are as short as possible and the crotch is still a bit lower than I would like; However, I'm pretty sure it's because I ordered them in a larger size than I needed. I will also add that I have much larger breasts than average. The bib on it is actually wide and long enough to fit properly. The buckles/fasteners are not in the armpits and not too close to the middle. I can move my arms freely and the buttons don't slip into the painful area. There is one feature I wasn't expecting - the fabric is doubled in thickness on the back of each leg. I often step on my legs from behind, it's a really nice detail. I usually wear thicker soled work boots and stepping on the cuff frequently can cause the cuff to tear quickly. This should help prevent that from happening at least as soon as possible. Overall I would recommend them to everyone from professional everyday wear to fun and comfy casual wear. I'm planning to buy a second pair as I wear them so often, but I think I'll wait a few more months for the baby's remaining weight to drop or settle down and order something a little tighter fitting. They are better quality than any other brand I currently own and priced lower than the best match I have. starts with the letter C and sounds like part of a bar.

Pros
  • Machine washable
Cons
  • Hard to say
