I bought my first one more than 10 years ago at the local hardware store and love it - and it's still going strong. I bought a new one just so I can have one when the other is in the laundry. I love the redesign of my new one, especially the more substantial clasps and the reinforced legs. I also bought one for my husband, who loves the elastic at the waist. So I can recommend them for men and women. The fabric is great for heavy yard work when I want protection, like weed eating.

I bought my normal size (34x36) and they fit well around waist and chest. Legs, however, is a different story. I can almost fit both of my legs legs in one side. I didn't buy the loose fit either. It's an annoying amount of extra fabric that gets in the way. They should introduce one more, SLIGHTLY narrow leg fit for those of us with chicken legs.

We have mixed feelings on these. For my workers that are a more slender build, the sizing chart works great and they fit (go buy pants size and then select one size bigger in the waist band). But for my workers that are on the heavier side, going off pants size does not work as they don't leave room for a belly. Depending on the worker, I had to size up 2 - 6 sizes bigger. I've now had to place a second order to accommodate those workers. If you are on the heavier side but want to order online (or bulk order for a company), I highly recommend having workers go into the nearest Carhartt supplier to try on sizes before ordering. Will save you lots of time and headache

Hartt for life

The overall ms were not true to size. I was very disappointed when they come in and didn't fit. They way smaller than the size it's suppose to be. I recommend sizing up at least 1 size possible even 2 sizes.

Product is exactly as described. Fits nicely - I'm 5'11" and 200lbs - I ordered the 36" waist x 32" inseam. Material wore in quickly and has a soft, light feel to it. Functionality is ideal for the contracting work that I do. Product is made in Indonesia. And here's where things get important. I ordered this product in blue AND the same product in the typical Carhartt brown. Same product, same size. But? the brown is made in India. The material is significantly stiffer. The cut has to be to a different pattern because laying one product on top of the other they don't match up. I'm tempted to drag the brown pair behind the truck for a day or two. I've no doubt it will hold up to the beating but I feel like that's what it's going to take to make that pair a 'relaxed fit'. Either way, I've no doubt that these bibs will serve me well, as have all the other Carhartt products I've purchased in the past.

I'm just kinda disappointed with my bibs that I got. I bought them at a retail store. In early april late march and they're already beginning to rip in certain spaces,right above where the double layer is on the boot cuff and on the first wash some of the seams began to fray and tonight, while I was bending down, the buckle for the suspenders, came loose and had to repin the buckle back into place

I have wore Carhartts for approximately 45 years. Before that, it was logging pants logging or working in sawmills. I have them on most of the time around my place (Family farm acreage) now at my age, fantastic to work in?.
