There is something alluring about the female form in overalls but much more interesting in a bib and brace.

The ones branded John Derre are the dress of choice for all the farmers round here and thereβs a fair variety of shapes amongst them.

Even 6ft is a problem unless you also have a 50" waist and 18" inside leg. One wonders who they make them for as they don't fit humans.

Ive never gotten to grips with overalls... I have a long body and they always felt like they were cutting my crotch in half cause my shoulders were pulling them up. These days it's just easier to wear shorts (legs wash easily enough) or when it's really cold, I have one pair of old painting Jeans (Jeff banks I think ) and an old Wakefield Wildcats oversized fleece sweatshirt. Go Wildcats!

Out of sheer frustration I bought a used SAAB overalls a few years ago. I assumed as the car is obviously designed by incredibly clever rather tall thin people then their overalls would probably be designed for an incredibly clever rather thin tall person and I was -almost- right.

I seem to remember lack of movement around shoulder area making the thing uncomfortable when I tried one years ago.
Buy a pair of 'bib n braces' or dungarees π€
