I wasn't really sure where would the appropriate place to post this question but I am wondering what your favorite brand of overalls is and where you buy them. I don't have any that fit me and I'd like to get a comfortable pair or two. Thanks in advance for the advice. |

I remember my first husband, the first time he saw me in overalls (when I was about a size 12) saying...I don't like THOSE!! I knew deep down that he was never going to last. My DH said, when HE first saw me in overalls...boy, those look so comfortable I am going to get some too, and he did..my kind of man!!

Well you know what? I wore my Pointer striped overalls a couple of times last year, but now I've lost a good bit of weight (YAY!) and can't really see myself in them anymore. They're a size 39, I think, which was my waist size when I ordered them. That's what the helpful lady at the Pointer phone # said to go by when ordering, and she was right -- my then-47" or 49" (I forget) hips fit fine, with enough ease to bend and wiggle very comfortably. I believe the inseam is about 31. I turned the elastic parts of the straps on the back so the red printing on them wouldn't show, but otherwise they're practically in mint condition. If these would fit anyone, how does ten bucks plus postage sound? |

I read this thread this past Saturday but couldn't remember where it was when I came back to respond, then found it again today! Anyway, you ladies saved me a ton of money. I went to Goodwill (hadn't been since back in November) and got 5 pair of overalls and a pair of Carhart coveralls in great shape for under $29!! I've never had coveralls before and now I'm ready for when we get our place in the country. I'm short, and these are perfect in length when I put my workboots on. I am still excited about my find.
On the other hand, our superintendent told us 2 years ago that we could not wear even dressy (corduray, silky, etc.) overalls any day of the week and no denim overalls on "Jeans Friday", either. He said, and I quote, "Overalls do not look good on anyone." Yep, he's that way. And yep, he's wrong on this one.

ReVolt. Im not sure where you can find them anymore because the store that sold them closed down near me. They are sooo soft and sturdy. I also like Key's for coveralls. Fit like magic. I stole them from my Boyfriend. ;) Pre-worn always work best!

Hey all you overall lovers!
I went thrifting the other day and found TONS of overalls! I was sooo excited because I can't find them new anywhere! I bought four pairs and they're all in nice shape. Just had to let y'all know! 
Much love,

For working outside on the farm I love to wear mens (several sizes too big) overalls. My favorite brand is pointer. Elastic straps in the back and a zipper front pocket! I wear them so big I can pull them on over pajamas ,shorts and a tee shirt or what ever I am wearing around the house. As soon as I come back in side I pull them off hang them on the coat rack. This way I don't spread dirt all over the house or have to wash overall everyday.
I have been looking for some everyday overall that fit me better and I can wear anywhere. I am going to try some of your suggestions for those.

I just read over all (no pun intended!) this overall talk and I'm so excited! I don't have any and really need to get me a pair! Sadly, the link no longer works for the discounted pointer brand ones.  I'm definitely checking at the thrift stores! And I saw some full price at Old Navy not too long ago, so I'll have to check back there on the rack with my favorite word...CLEARANCE! |

You are all going to think this is nuts, but I have several pairs and my favorites are Calvin Klien.. I know weird huh? they are comfortable and have survived 2 years of me on my knees in the garden and crawling across carpet after toddlers, and not a thin patch in the knees yet... the adjustable dealies have a huge range so I could wear them through both of my pregnancies too.
you can be oh so smart, or you can be oh so positive. I wasted a lot of time being smart I prefer being positive. |

I know this is "off topic" but I just had to comment on your website, Susan. I just visited it and am really impressed at how nice the website is arranged and the products look. I'm gonna have to place an order just to try some of those enticing scents.
Your one daughter looks just like you too.
OK--back to topic (sort of)... do your girls like to wear overalls too?
Thank you - sorry it's taken me so long to respond...I am a busy bee!!! in my overalls! My girls dont wear overalls but my sweet husband does. We always have!

Christine, I'm 5'2'' and everything hangs on the floor on me. How about if the part I have to cut off the pants, I'll send to you to sew on the bottom of yours!! Two problems solved! Jan |

Christine,
Look at the pointer brand on line catalogue. They sell theirs by the length and waist sizes so you could get just what you need. I have the same problem with most other brands. If they fit in the waist they are too long in the crotch. These pointer brand ones I got fit like they should fit. Like a new pair of comfortable pants would fit.

OHHH...I would love to wear overalls (I lived in them as a young girl), but they are always capris on me due to my height! This is fine in the summer...but in the winter I would like to cover all of my legs! I'm 6'1"...and men's overalls usually are huge on me (about 180 lbs)! Any suggestions on what would fit me!

In our home we call the "hammer loop" a "come 'er". You grab on to it and say to the wearer, "come 'er". I like the installed apron idea, Meadowlark!

Glad to know I am not the only one to get grabbed by the "Alls"

There may still be time to get in on the pointer brand sale. Back at the beginning of this topic there is a link directly to the low back sale. Cant beat 10.95 for a great pair of Alls even ifn ya do hafta sew up the fly thingy!
