 Topic: what has happened to the carhart biboveralls

they sure have ruined the carhart bibs for me now the top pockets are to short to clip a pen or small flashlight and of course yuo cant clip any thing to the one with the zipper that is ether closed or every thing falls out , then they put zippers on the legs so that they can catch on everything or get the zipper broke with a welder spark and the side pockekts evey thing falls out if you lay on the ground, after many yaers of wearing these i guess i will have to change brands

I think they are made for the city bots now, not people that really use them for work!

That's the problem with clothing today made for looks and don't care about the working people

I used to wear bib overalls all of the time until arthritis set into my right shoulder and the suspenders start it hurting. I wore Key bibs with a button fly. Damn zippers would jam up and this feller had some close calls peeing! Carhartt always had the best insulated bibs for winter. I still have the pair I bought when I worked at MDOT. Just wear them now when it gets zero or below. Like everything else people can't leave a good thing alone so the Carhartt bibs have changed. I wear Duluth Trading firehose pants most of the winter. They give good service and have lots of pockets.

They've gone the way of Oshkosh by gosh.  Big dollar non working designer type boss clothes for the selling image.
You'll notice these guys never have a stain on em.

I wore KEY work jeans and bibs for years, were made in Ft Scott KS, unable to find those as they once were either.
