BROTHERHOOD OF BIB

@sabergirl said in BROTHERHOOD OF BIB:

I’ve always had a sneaking suspicion that I might be borderline too tall for IH bibs at 6’1”.

I had no idea you were that tall, that's rad.

FWIW I am 6' 3" and have two pairs of bibs that work great for me. I wear both in size 34 and they have worked out well. I also had a third pair that fit fine aside from the inseam which was hemmed too short so I ended up selling them. So I can work for tall folks, not sure what differences I may have proportion-wise to others who have tried them.

Yeah @Oaktavia I’ve def seen tall folks seem to do fine in them, so I suppose I’ll just have to try them out sometime and see for myself.

I love being tall. One of the best parts of finding IH was realizing that I would never have to wear high water pants ever again. Unless I want to

@pechelman Sweet!!!

@pechelman what shop is this? Looks rad, as do you in the bibs!

[pechelman]

Thanks, @popvulture and @Karol !

This is the mother ship in Hachioji. They've got a decent selection of bibs right now in a few flavors. No ducks though. Such a great time here and the staff was fantastic. Still amazed that the boss man himself would sign them for me and was so gracious to come out and thank me.

[popvulture]

Aw man so cool — I thought that might be in Japan!

[Oaktavia]

@pechelman So rad!!! They fit you nicely!!!

[pechelman]

Thanks @Oaktavia !

[Oaktavia]

@pechelman I need to wear mine tomorrow seeing your pics made me want to!

[Matt]

66 and windy tomorrow. It might be the day.

I am a novice patch sewer but I still enjoy adding them to items like vests and hats. Been doing it since I was a teen in my punk rock daze. I added this one to a Ship John/Colter Wall Waxed Wills hat yesterday evening. I like the DIY look to it.

How are you, BIBers of the Broterhood?

Humbly submitting my application as a «Justin» bibber, taking over the cloth from the good brother @Raisinoux, as the 805s have been sold out for ages.

-7 Celcius and perfect over the 777SLB.

Take care and make it BIB.

Looking good Dawg.

I'm curious, do people tend to wear bibs over, or instead of trousers?

Obviously the temperature plays a part, but how are they designed to be worn?

[denim-dawg]

@T4920 Many thanks, bru! This is my first IH bib, after a long line of Carharrt, Lee, Levi’s… the more experienced members of the Brotherhood are in the know.

But I like to wear mine over, as a protective, weather resistant garment. Love putting it on and working on the house and garden and what not.. best for walking there and back again to the pub. Down and up a misty mountain in freezing cold, this denim keeps the body jolly. I suppose the lighter ones, like a wabash (🩷) would be cool to wear in summer? What cha say?

@denim-dawg be couldn’t dream of a better brother. In the words of great @EdH
Whoeverso shall weareth the bibs and therein doeth good deeds shall henceforth be a venerable brother. Welcome!
