Answer
To choose the right size and fit for bib overalls, follow these tips:
- Size to the largest part of your waist14. If you fall between sizes, size up4.
- Order based on your normal pant inseam4. For example, if you wear a 32" inseam pant, you would wear a 32" inseam bib overall.
- If you already wear bib overalls from other brands like Carhartt, Berne, Big Smith, Dickies, Key, or Liberty, order a waist size at least 2 inches larger in Round House American Made Overalls if you wear a 36" waist or larger3.
- Most guys need to add 4 to 6 inches to the waist size they wear in jeans for bib overalls3.
- Measure your waist at the largest point, chest, and inseam to determine your size145. Wrap the tape measure around your natural waist, not your hips.
- Overalls are made for moving around comfort, so they generally fit and run just a little loose5. Liberty bib overalls run pretty standard when compared with other brands.
- If you're very thin, like a 32 waist with no stomach at all, just buy your normal jean size for bib overalls3.
- As with anything cotton, there will be some shrinkage over time in waist and length depending upon how hot the overalls are washed and dried3.
