On USS Nimitz, they would not let you off the ship wearing bib overalls - they claimed that they had too many pockets, and were the drug culture clothing of choice! (You believe this crud?)
I told the exec at the time straight out that if it was good enough for 'Buck Owens', it was good enough for me - and I wore them at home all the time.
Besides which, three quarters of the dock workers (civilian) wore them. Does that mean the ship is surrounded by DOPE HEADS? I think not...
I took exception because it seemed like predudice against COUNTRY people.
DOPE AIN'T NOTHING TO DO WITH COUNTRY!!!
Ya bib overalls you wear with PRIDE - they are the best and most destinctive bluejeans you will ever have, and they make a statement about where you come from and how you THINK

Heck i wear them all the time. and i'm 17
But i don't have a gut or any thing they are just comfortable for doing farm work and working on the truck. And they look pretty good on a big ole country boy.
Wear'n them right now.

I used to wear bib overalls a long time ago, but they seem to have shrunk dramatically. Can't figure out why. Hmmm. Maybe too many calories? Naw. Excuse me while I finish my pizza and beer and exercise my remote controlls. Just bought 3 pairs of Carharts. So comfortable and soooo many pockets to hold my snacks. Love them.

I know Key makes insulated overalls, because I wear them in the winter months. In the summer, though, I stick to Wrangler's. Never have worn bibs. Nothing against them, just never fell into that habit. My grandad and gentlemen of his generation (as well as a few members of my own generation) wear them everywhere, in all situations. I've seen them worn to church, on dates, in the courthouse, and even to be buried in.

I tried on my old bibbies yesterday .....
The straps are suddenly too short and WOWZERS .... I felt like I was wearing something made to make my voice a little higher!!! Squeeeeeek!
Yes ....bibs have got to be about the most comfortable thing a man can wear. Especially if you are at the age when a belt is there for looks and you still end up pulling your pants up all day. Now a set of bibbies ... man ... I gotta go to Penneys tomorrow and see about getting a set for yard work this summer. I have two sets of coveralls, but they are too hot later on and bibbies.. you can flop them around and send some fresh air shooting throughout the works, once in a while. ahh yes .... look out Penneys.. here I come.
