Double knee / reinforced legs

Bib overall / carpenter style

Vintage Talon zipper

Adjustable striped suspenders

Size: Tag is missing/illegible. Please use measurements for fit rather than relying on a modern size conversion.

Approximate measurements taken flat:

Width across upper waist/body: approx. 21.5”

Approximate circumference at that point: 43”

Inseam: approx. 30–31”

Would likely be in the neighborhood of a 42 waist / 30–31 inseam, but this is only a modern sizing estimate. Vintage bib overalls fit differently than standard jeans.

Condition:

Authentic vintage workwear condition with substantial wear and patina. Visible staining/soiling, fading, loose threads and areas of seam wear/fraying are present. There is notable fraying/separation around the crotch/inner seam area as shown in the close-up photos. Hardware and fabric show age and use.

These have not been represented as restored or repaired. Please review all photos closely for exact condition.

Great candidate for vintage workwear wear, collection, repair/restoration, or a distressed heritage/workwear wardrobe.
