| 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.  ------------- 1938 B, 79 Dynamark 11/36 6spd, 95 Weed-Eater 16hp, 2010 Bolens 14hp |

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