BROTHERHOOD OF BIB

[Joberwocky]

@LewisStonehouse I'm pretty pumped, will give me something ridiculous to alternate with my XHSib.

@Chap:

The hickory is 

Good choice [emoji106] I’ve been contemplating the same [emoji41]

[Filthy2123ozjunkie]

@Joberwocky    Why not wear the overallls over top of the XHSib?

lolllll @Filthy 

Also sad to report but I'm just not able to hang – I shelved the 805 while here in LA… 

[Filthy2123ozjunkie]

Hey mang they will be there waiting for your when you're ready for them. I didn't wear mine for over a year. @henry_david

bib hiking Norway

[henry_david]

Epic af @endo  How'd they perform out there?

[endo]

Bibs for hiking? Depends, I‘d say. They are definitely comfortable and durable, but yesterday here a little too warm when it got strenuous. Otherwise, they are heavenly. You know …

I'm at a crossroads, gentlemen.  Am I too short/small to rock these things?  I guess the leg opening is crazier than I typically where (they are bibs, I get that) but I'm also getting some gaping at the bib in front that leads me to believe I'm not broad shouldered enough.  Should I stop being a coward, throw these things in a super hot soak, and rock it?  I'm sure I could fiddle with the straps a tick more.  I don't think there's any issue with the waist, it's comfortable and spacious (ended up going with a 34 (actual 39.5), my size in XHS also being 34).  There are still 32's available, which would mean getting to lose about .5" through nearly every dimension.  I think breaking in a pair of 777's recently has warped my processing haha.

Huh? I think they look great on you @Joberwocky

Edit: also they are already washed so the ain't gonna shrink.

[Joberwocky]

Thanks @Filthy I guess I can't remember the last time I wore something that wasn't fitted

[sabergirl]

Wouldn’t want those to be any tighter if I were you, [mention]Joberwocky [/mention] . I think they look good as is.

Enjoy the comfort. This is why I like them so much.

Also, welcome to the Brotherhood to you and @emceeQ

[Joberwocky]

@Filthy:

@henry_david a member of the Brotherhood does not concern him or herself with appearances and just enjoys being swaddled in supple 21oz IH denim

Amateur hour on my end, shoulda remembered these wise words from @henry_david

[henry_david]

@Joberwocky – Honestly I felt like a total clown when I got mine. I have a similar waist measurement as you and felt super conflicted about the overalls when they arrived. It took me about two weeks of wear to not feel like such a dingus.

You happen to look great in them and I support you continuing to wear them dude!

[Joberwocky]

Well, the bib people have spoken, and even though it's in the 90's here in Annapolis, I think I'll stick with them and accept that not every pair of pants needs to barely fit over the shaft of my engineer boots 

[endo]

@Joberwocky IMO the fit is great and you look very cool in them!
Now, go and rock them enjoy the comfort without caring what others might think (which is beeing cool btw).

[LewisStonehouse]

@Joberwocky can't add anything else that the others haven't said, they look spot on to me! 

[Joberwocky]

Well, I wore them to work today, and regardless of feeling a little like a goober, the 21oz denim is awesome.  I only have one of the 12oz indigo shirts and a pair of XHSib in terms of IH denim, the 21oz feels like a treat
