FAQs
Are these overalls lined?
No, these are unlined duck dungarees, designed for durability and freedom of movement. They do not provide significant insulation on their own.
Can I insert kneepads into the knee pockets?
Yes, the double front reinforced kneepad pockets are designed with cleanout openings to easily insert and remove compatible kneepads.
What is the material weight?
The overalls are constructed from a heavyweight 12 oz/yd² (407 gsm) cotton duck fabric.
How should I clean these overalls?
Machine wash warm with like colors. Use non-chlorine bleach if needed. Tumble dry medium and warm iron if necessary. Do not dry clean.
Do these overalls have a zipper fly?
The description does not mention a zipper fly. Bib overalls typically feature button closures on the sides of the bib, with adjustable suspenders at the front.
What does 'reinforced kick panels' mean?
Reinforced kick panels are extra durable patches of fabric added to the inside bottom hem of the legs. They protect the overalls from wear and tear caused by boots or kicking motions.
Is the fit suitable for layering?
Yes, the relaxed fit and straight leg design allow for comfortable layering of shirts and long underwear underneath for cooler weather.
Troubleshooting
Stiff material upon arrival
The heavy cotton duck may feel stiff initially. Wash the overalls according to care instructions to soften the fabric. Repeated wear will also help break them in.
Suspenders slipping or not staying adjusted
Ensure the buckles on the elastic suspenders are properly engaged. If slipping persists, check for wear on the buckle mechanism or consider replacing the suspenders if they are damaged.
Color transfer (especially darker colors)
Wash the overalls separately or with similar colors, especially during the first few washes, to prevent dye transfer to other garments or surfaces.
Fit is too loose or too tight
Refer to the sizing chart and ensure accurate waist and inseam measurements. Adjust the suspenders for a better fit. The relaxed fit is designed for comfort, not a snug fit.
