All the pockets on Carhartt overalls are worthless from being too tight, shallow, and narrow. There, now they might see me, finally. 6:40? Meh. Even at 8:31, the pocket is broad but not enough since it still only accomodates the width of a phone. Just take it to the limit at the edges, either split odwn the middle for a big semi-top/side entry pocket or a that plus another underneath that the full breadth. And then hand pockets worth a damn, not sucked so tight to your sides a pen will stab you. Just weirdness all around and every time with these pocket designs. Hell, an inside pocket for concealed carry that doesn't print would be interesting, if no on the center front panel, maybe accessible from the sides on the inside.

[@simonvallières-t3v]

Thanks Carl! There are so many bibs/coveralls made by carhartt that in the end it's hard to find your way around and understand what the difference is between each one. Your video shows very clearly the advantages of each and for which situation they are at their best. Super useful video!

[@aruppert314]

Aside from just using mine for clearing brush and other yardwork, in the fall winter and early spring here in Newington, I really love using my Carhartt flex overall for hiking with the dogs and carrying stuff on me without dragging my pants or shorts.

[@phil41055]

I have the insulated biberalls and they are the wind proof! Working in February Wyoming was only possible because of them. The wider top really adds to the warmth, and with the big side and front zips, you can use them like a heavy coat, and take them off when going inside or in the truck. They are in the bulky side, but that helps trap more warm air 🤘

Now do a overall bib brand comparison video next. Im really interested in the 1620 overall.

[@CarlMurawski]

I did one a while back, but it was before 1620 had theirs out.

[@NickLibby-dv1hi]

Look at the reviews before you buy them, I was interested too but looks like they have issues. I’ve bought 3 pairs of their pants and they’ve all fallen apart. I do love the fleece lined winter pants but the threads that attach the zipper have blown out leaving that area wide open. They’ll fix it but it’s not convenient. Not to pile on them but I have carhartts that have outlasted them and they are 1/3 the price. I love supporting an American company it just has to be worth it.

[@elmasgrifo1]

Extremely helpful. You answered all my questions. Thank you Carl.

[@Cayman192]

Carhartt makes great quality stuff regardless of when. I had one of those Iconic Carhartt duck jackets all the way through my teenage years only to get lost during a move in my 20s. I replac3d it with a Carhartt Olive full swing jacket that I've worn hunting, fishing, hiking, manual labor, and just to keep warm for the past 10 years. If it stands up to the interior Alaska weather and active use over the past decade and still look relatively mint condition says a lot for the quality of their products. I'd recommend carhartt over any other brand for outdoor and work wear.

[@LeroyHeeneyWine]

Dang! I had no idea the variety available, some of those look great!

[@ORflycaster]

Are they sized to fit over your pants ? I have read probably 100 reviews at this point trying to sort out the sizing. I can’t try them on before ordering.

[@HotPants0323]

@ORflycaster I want to say they are. I originally bought a pair one size up specifically to go over, and they were way too big. Exchanged it for my regular size, and they fit perfectly over my pants.

[@ORflycaster]

Thank you for the reply. I ordered two pairs of large talls (different insulation levels) and they should be here this week. I plan to use them for bike riding among other things. My area gets more cold than wet, until it turns to snow and ice and the bikes are parked.

[@ORflycaster]

My overalls were on the porch when I got home from work. They fit exactly as I’d hoped!

[@dakotarogers522]

I got the same ones you keep in your truck and the front pockets hold a pack of cigarettes perfect😂😂prolly not what it’s made for but it works best for me cuz I don’t crush them as much when there in my chest pocket instead of my regular pockets. I also have the storm defender overalls and jacket and I work on the flight deck of a aircraft carrier and I can tell you those keep you dry until they don’t. Then they’re miserable but that’s being on the flight deck with no shelter or anything to protect you from the elements so it might not be as bad in normal conditions

Awesome! Me and my friend are garden builders in Hungary, here at home we cannot just go to a shop and buy good quality working clothes. We order our stuff from USA on amazon. Which means we have to think it over a hundred times before we buy something because of the arriving time and the cost. We are glad that found you Carl, your videos are very satisfying to watch. Yet we have the classic Dickies duck bib overall, the one that came out first in 1922. We love them, its just 50-80 $ and tough and comfortable. I am working in my piece more than 2 years in hard circumstances and its just got a little hole at my right knee I’m going to patchwork it. But anyway I’m curious your opinion about that kind of dickies bib. I never had carhartt working bib just a denim wip one and that was a shame. These ones that you talking about really that good? Should we get them? Thank you very much! Again, you are awesome, we love you!👊

[@CarlMurawski]

Thank you for the kind words! I think that when it comes to sheer durability you'll want to stick to the Cordura models, but if that's too warm the firm duck is your next best bet. Thankfully those come in both insulated and non. The rigid nature of the fabric along with it's hydrophobic surface treatment will serve you well. While washed duck may be more comfortable, its already had some life taken away due to the washing process. So in short: Cordura is king, but firm duck is next best.

[@markcesena4670]

I would like to point out that the FR models tend to have different fasteners for the suspenders, plastic buttons, and while I don’t have any data to back it up, that FR coating seems to ratchet up the warmth felt by the wearer.

In my own experiences with having worn Carhartt bibs since the late 90s, ive found the quality of materials Carhartt has been using has varied. While i still have bibs from early 2000's that are solid runners - i have the stark contrast of my limited run "gunslinger" bibs that didnt even last a year without bascially falling apart. If it stretches - it fails. Plain and simple. That being said i actually steered away from buying Carhartt thisblast set because of the Stretchy bits and pieces theyve added. Like many brands that had qaulity gesr in they're younger years - often that gets lost or hit and miss as the yewts go in and they try to keep the markets happy. That being said - ill still eyeball and entertain getting new Carhartt gear- but its definitely not my go to anymore.

Love carhartt bibs, had a few sets over the years, insulated, uninsulated, Non FR, FR, and everything in between. I will say that the sizing is wayyy off on the FR versions, their FR pants are dicey too, they’re wayyy too long! I typically wear a 36 waist and a 34 length in most pants, this is perfect for non Fr carhartt pants, but the FR ones are like 4 inches too long lol! Same thing for the FR bibs, a 34 length is like a 38 length! Lol not an issue in the non FR bibs and pants. Crazy.
