Carhartt Rugged Flex Stretch Canvas Relaxed Fit Rigby Bib Overalls 102987

I was excited after purchasing these bib overalls but was quickly disappointed. The fabric is softer than the traditional duck bibs and that makes these nice. The fix is also a little slimmer. The negative aspect is the shoulder straps and adjusters. Like others have said, they slip and it becomes a nuisance. I don't know in what situations these would be acceptable. For the work I do, they are not. I would return but that ship has sailed.

The fabric is more comfortable than duck fabric and the fit is good. Much better for my workplace situation which is part warehouse and part retail/customer interaction. The straps have more stretch which is good, but it also leads to them slipping out of adjustment to the longest setting (they're elastic, so it doesn't really matter). The zipper pocket is nice and easily fits a cell phone. My one pet peeve is that the hammer loop is on the right side above the two tool pockets on that leg. I often use a utility knife for work and like to store it there. The hammer loop gets in the way of reaching for it, so I've safety pinned the loop down, which kinda works. Other overalls the loop is on the left, where I like it better.

I wish these overalls didn't have such bad defects, they have so many good points otherwise.Unfortunately, as is the case with other RECENT CARHARDTT overalls I've bought all the pockets are TOO SMALL. (I'm using all the other brands of overalls I've bought in the last 30 years, from Foremost to Liberty...) For example, my chiropractor insists that I keep my wallet in my front pocket but my wallet hardly fits in my front pocket and if I did put it in there it would certainly fall out. A certain deal breaker. Also, for the past 30 years I've carried my harvest knife in my back pocket on harvest days. Yesterday, I tried these overalls for the first time and k- ! - the knife fell out TWICE before I decided I simply couldn't carry my harvest knife in my backpacker any ... MoreI wish these overalls didn't have such bad defects, they have so many good points otherwise.Unfortunately, as is the case with other RECENT CARHARDTT overalls I've bought all the pockets are TOO SMALL.

I love the elastic portion of the suspenders. Duluth has implemented this design very effectively The elastic material used on the Carhardt overalls is too thing, apparently and they keep becoming unadjusted fast the slides slide down. When they' slid down all the way, they interfere with the fastening and unfastening of the suspenders. They are a hassle to re-adjust if you're already wearing the overalls.I can't really conceive of any reason that Carhardtt would skimp on poker or suspender materials but that's happened with these overalls' I hope they fix these shortcoming one day. I'd love to have a pair of these for every day of the week, if only they were reliably functional
