I had to wear Osh Kosh.

My grandpa wore Key.

I remember Big Smiths, Walls, Big Mac Liberty (I think I had some of those).

I kinda grew out of them, but they stayed in fashion around here for the fat boys with big tiddies.

To be really stylin', those guys only hook one strap.

Roundhouse is king here.

My Gramps never wore anything else. No pants and no other brand of overalls. Always had a mini candy bar for me in one side of the front pocket, pack of Camel Nons or a plug of Days work in the other side. He liked the striped ones, fancy.

I have a pair with the stripes, wear them some on weekends, comfy. My wife despises them and hates it when I wear them.

Years back, I was told, that in a Missouri town, only the banker, preacher, and undertaker had a suit. A newer pair for Sunday Church, in between, then oldest for work.

Married, and buried in bibs.

Roundhouse.

Made in USA.


I wear them hunting.

Don’t need no Kiuiu or that $$$ camo you wear to pump gas and go to the HS football game in.

Both my grandfathers wore them every day. One wore stripes, the other wore blue. The one that wore stripes wore them because he was 6’7” and he could let the straps out and they’d still fit.

My dad wore Oshkosh striped, and switched to Key when they stopped making them.

Typically had three Dutch Masters El Presidente cigars in the top pockets, an Old Timer 3blade Stockman knife, a small brown notebook with a pencil sharpened with the knife, and a Lufkin 12ft tape measure. In his back pocket he had a fat leather wallet at least 2inches thick filled with receipts, business cards, and a couple of punch cards from his favorite custard stand.
He passed in 2010.

I had stopped in at LC King in Johnson City to get a pair of their overalls before Xmas but it seems they stopped making the “Fat” ones.

Placed an order with Roundhouse and should be getting here in Feb or March. Just cuz

Haven’t owned a pair in years. There were a couple years in the late 90’s I wore them daily. I liked working in them.
They were Libertys. The crotch blew out of both. Girlfriend sewed them, but the material wasn’t great. If I ever buy any more, Pointer Low Backs used to be pretty popular…..

Hickrey stripped Roundhouse or Pointer brand.

Uncle still wears Keys. Pocket watch in chest pocket, pliers and fitsall wrench in leg pockets.

Taps his ashes in one chest pocket if he is where there is no ash tray. Hell of a sight he is.
