Troubleshooting
Suspenders not staying adjusted
Ensure the suspender clasps are fully engaged with the bib attachment points. If the elastic has lost its tension, consider replacing the suspenders.
Zipper on bib pocket is stiff
Gently work the zipper up and down. Lubricate the teeth with a graphite pencil or a small amount of bar soap. Avoid forcing the zipper.
Fabric feels stiff
This is normal for new, heavyweight duck canvas. The overalls will soften and break in with wear and washing according to the care instructions.
Kneepad pocket openings are blocked
Use the cleanout openings to remove any dirt or debris that may be preventing kneepads from being inserted or removed easily.
