For anyone curious, the canvas Roundhouse bibs do have full double knees. They definitely do fit on the trim side though in the waist!

The canvas Round House bibs run small?

[@markmyers3188]

I wear roundhouse overalls go up 2 inches of your normal pant size. That is my experiance

[@volleyballmcgee3915]

I’ve worn roundhouse low back bibs for years most comfortable bibs I’ve owned. I’ve owned Carhartt, liberty, pointer, keys, and big smith . You get these bibs 4” larger than your pant size since the band runs across the fattest part of you belly, also they only have one percent shrinkage. I buy straight for the factory for 49.99 a pair if you buy 2 pair free shipping. I’m a union carpenter for 30yrs hands down best bibs in my opinion.

[@volleyballmcgee3915]

@@jeffreykatz1330 No their not just everyday work bibs.

[@mibnsharpals]

Personally, I only wear underpants under my pants in the summer, so I order them from classic manufacturers (Roundhouse), exactly the same size as the pants, but one size longer. The rest will be done after they are washed. If you want to move comfortably, go one size larger. Unfortunately, it spoils the look a little. Mostly i Payed 40usd for one pair.

[@jneadventures2726]

I wear Roundhouse overalls everyday! I work on the railroad and have worn them for 30 years. You can not beat Roundhouse.

[@waynenoll1967]

Agreed. Roundhouse offers an honest product at a fair price for actual working people. I don’t need all of the pockets like Carhartt has, most of which are useless in the real world, nor do I need some hipster bibs that I will have to replace in just a few months. Nor can most folks pay over $130 for something to wear to work.

[@reactionsb1]

Carhartt is garbage now. They recently changed the elastic strap material to a cheap subpar strap that loses elasticity easily and deforms. Super disappointing.

Thank you for your feedback on the Roundhouse. I have been eyeing their jacket and the bibs. Do you recommend going up on the waist size with them? I wear a 36 pants, but I'm wondering if I should get like a 38 inch or maybe 40? I do everything I can to support American companies and it's an extra bonus that I was born and raised in Oklahoma. ;)

[@Jasper3478]

Awesome video! I've worn Liberty's, Keys, and roundhouse and my favorite thus far is Roundhouse. Being a Machinist, I usually always keep my bib pocket loaded with measuring equipment, sharpies, and other metal working tools and having a bib with open pockets is a huge must for me. The zipper pockets get in the way for what I do. Plus I'd much rather give my money to an American product rather than a foreign one when it comes to bibs.

[@waynenoll1967]

Absolutely! I didn’t mind paying more for Carhartt when they were made here because they were quality. Now they make their stuff at the same overseas places like everyone else and still charge premium prices. Can’t beat Roundhouse for a simple, quality product at a fair price. But only order from the factory, the Roundhouse they sell at Walmart and many of the “farm and fleet” type stores are made in Vietnam.

[@zacharyjasinski9676]

At $80 the roundhouse isn't a great buy, but over the last few years I've never seen them sell for anything other than $50. Their carpenter jeans are the same way, always "on sale" with 80 bucks marked out and 50 bucks being the price. I think the simpler build is a little more forgiveable when you figure that 30 bucks cheaper in. Worn their jeans and bibs for a few years now and personally think they're a steal at $50, and American made is always a plus.

[@mibnsharpals]

A comparison of the material quality with the R1 and Roucndhouse does not justify 80. More like 40 - 50 and I bought it for that price. They are nice summer dungarees.

[@j0hnnykn0xv1lle]

I came in a Patagonia guy, I'm leaving a Patagonia guy and this video def helped. I have a set of John Deere bibs I really love which are tough, stylish, and soften up nicely, REI doesn't offer a mens bib at the moment, that I could find anyways, I've never owned any Patagonia but the hemp seems attractive from a comfort angle. I need something that can take occasional abuse, but be functional most of the time in daily wear, I wear them for functional use and style points to be honest. NOBODY wears them for fashion but I get compliments all the time for my Deere's. I think the Round House would be great for the woodworker. The Carhartt for the guy working in brutal conditions. The Duluth being a hybrid probably. Same with the Patagonia. I started wearing bibs b/c I found 2 beat up pairs in my grandpa's basement when he died, I took them, sewed some cool patches on the chest pockets and they are sentimental and I love them. Another reason why I wear them, they remind me of him. The winemaker, the electrician.

[@moosepasshippie]

I have always worn Carhartt bibs. I keep what I call my trinity of hand tools in the leg pockets. The on problem is after about 6 months they get holes in the bottom of the pockets and I have to sew and rivet. Since Carhartt has decided to no longer make the R28 carpenter bibs, I will be looking for a different company to buy from. Thank You Carl for doing this review.

[@thechameleon77]

@@brighammmer What size were you in carhartt and what did you get for round house?

[@brighammmer]

@@thechameleon77 that depends on the cut. R01 black or brown(the rigid duck ones) I wear 50x32, while the R06(the sandstone-washed ones that are softer and have more available colours) I wear 48x32. My round house are sized similar to the r01's. I wear Roundhouse item #83 and #383 (Rigid duck brown and block, respectively) in size 50x32, and they fit like my 50x32 us-made R01 bibs.

[@spcsalas138]

Had the same pair of Roundhouse for 5 years, used them for hard labor for the first three, now mostly retired to house chores. I've always been curious about Filson's CCF bibs, even though I know Filson's quality it's hard to justify paying $180

[@CarlMurawski]

So great to hear brother!!!

[@henrythisistheaccountyourl5210]

I have worn and seen many of these bibs on the job and I can say the best ones I’ve ever worn are the tough duck deluxe unlined bibs. They have a full front zipper which makes taking them off super easy and remind me of the old Carhartt quality (as in tough seams and longevity). They have most of the protection features of the carhartts like the bottom of the leg and double knees and are usually cheaper. They don’t fit quite as tight so it works with layering. The only downside is a bit less pocket space, but I’ve found that I usually don’t need to carry around my entire toolbox on my pants all day so it works out fine. If you are going to do a part two of this video comparing more brands I would love to see the tough ducks on there and even the Filson tin cloth bibs if you want to spend that much. I’ve been searching KZbin forever to find a video like this and it is great to finally have such a good one! Thank you and keep up the great videos. -Henry

[@krazmokramer]

@Alien Thanks Henry! As a casual wearer, I have not heard of Tough Duck before. Just googled them and they look really nice. Nice logo label. Good price too. The only problem I foresee for me is that 2 way zipper. I'm never going to know if im zipped or unzipped until the cops arrest me for indecent exposure!

[@edwinmondragon3762]

I love both weights of carhartts canvas, they are truly indestructible. However, for daily drivers, liberty is alot cooler in the summer, tuck into snow packs or rubber boots in the winter, and have alot less "stuff" piled up when putting in windshield time. Not to mention, all of this is under forty bucks. You can even zip stuff up in the huge main pocket if you are going to be upside down reaching into somewhere you don't want your phone to go. And, the huge pockets will hold things like 12 inch water pump pliers or a 1911 for those sketchy equipment retrieval.

[@jimbaxter5409]

Hey Carl. Try the stonewashed Roundhouse. I’ve worn overalls for 20+ yrs and tried many different brands. They are really comfortable and I do like the simple clasp of Roundhouse

[@joelsokoloff1980]

Thank you for this great review. I've worn bibs almost every day for the last 10 years and appreciate your observations. As a mostly Roundhouse wearer, I agree that they're getting left behind in some ways with their staunchly conservative approach to design (please make them with a gusset!). They're all great designs, though I bought one pair of Duluths and that was the last. The thing you touched on with the Duluths, and I can't help but adding, is that their shoulder strap material is too wimpy. They have a huge breast pocket and when you load it halfway full the whole bib bobs up and down as you walk because the straps aren't strong enough. Duluth, please consider strengthening these straps.

[@daviddesouza3748]

It’s funny living in Oklahoma where Round house is made, they can be found less that $30 locally at Atwood’s and even some Walmart’s. i paid $5 for mine on sale several years ago. Their ok but not worth $80!

I'm pretty sure those are not the same product. Levis from Levis and Levis from Target are not the same product.

It’s a shame the made in USA are the most poorly made.

@@vthomlinson Made in USA. He was bias against them because they fit a little tailored which is another reason I like them. Chevy makes inferior products exclusively but their customers buy them because they're Chevy. I settled on the Round House brand a while back after trying a couple brands. I was just commenting showing pride in USA made. Looks like he got a pair that should have been caught by quality assurance but that being said every pair of bibs or pants Ive gotten have been absolutley stellar.

[@vthomlinson]

@@chadd587 I always love to buy USA made. It seems as if quality goes down with that option nowadays. I’ve been wearing carharrt for 25 years and more and more of their products are being made outside the US. I’ve also starting coveting a Chinese made pocket knife (Kizer sheepdog) and am having a hard time coming to terms with it. I have yet to buy it. But the world sure is changing.

[@6000geac]

I really enjoy the Roundhouse brand. Carhartt are always too big on me, I’m 5’6 and 125lbs and these fit me great. I always size up for winter, these are your grandads old style bibs and I believe Roundhouse even says on their website that loose threads are normal but I have never had a pair fall apart on me. For the money and being USA Made they are my only choice.

[@sawdustadikt979]

I got a few pairs of the Duluth on sale. I love how bibs give you freedom of movement. As a carpenter I’m squatting, climbing, half kneeling and what not all day every day. Having knee pads in the bibs is amazing. A few things I don’t like, is that the clasps on the shoulders will fall apart. Rendering them useless, i was able to repair them with copper wire. Also the shoulder straps can’t hold much weight, if you load them with tools they stretch out. Other than that I love them and seeing this I want a pair of the Patagonia’s.

[@Rowdy_Dude]

Good video, myself I really like my Roundhouse bibs. I like the style of them. I never button the top button on the sides and I'm on the leaner side. Saying that I have no problem wearing layers underneath them. For the price and being American made I can look over the Irish pendants they leave on the bibs. No issues to report as far as flaws or failures. I'd recommend them.

[@tannerc900]

I don’t know exactly how, but I’ve accumulated about 8 pairs of bibs ranging from Duck to denim and from carhartt, to Dickie’s to key, to liberty and Redkap. And out of all of them, I usually gravitate towards the old school heavy denim ones. I have the carhartt R08, and a raw denim by Dickie’s and a raw denim by redkap and Key and they are my favourites. Pretty basic pocket layouts on the bibs so I don’t get lost in pockets and just something about the heavy denim I like over duck. I get teased a bit because I’m only 24 and I have the taste of an 80 year old farmer but for work on the railway comfort overtakes style in my opinion.

[@tannerc900]

I also just picked up a pair of big smith overalls (I think I have a problem with collecting bib overalls at this point) and I noticed the pocket layout on the bib is if not the exact same, pretty damn close to the same layout on the roundhouse.

[@JDeomanoJeromeDanetteJeremiah]

I use Workrite FR bib overalls at work and I really don't want to wear anything else. Bib overalls are so comfortable. I really don't want to go back to pants because they keep slipping down when I bend, and coveralls can get hot in summer time.

[@drd8251]

Big fan. At 70 and never having a blue collar job, I wouldn't know what to do with all those pockets. My biggest task now is trimming my hedges. I can put my shears in the back pocket of my jeans, but no other small tools are needed. Nevertheless, I appreciated your practical evaluation of these overalls. The idea of not wearing pants and letting "the boys" breathe while I do yardwork is a thought, though. Lol.

[@mibnsharpals]

I only have papers, a pocket watch and a pencil in my bib. Then the bib stays nice and tight and straight on the chest. Some people stuff it full of all sorts of things to make it easy to get to things when they bend over.

[@busbystandup1337]

Great video... love my Carhartts, but your video sold me on Patagonia... however I went to their website to order a couple pair and sadly learned that Patagonia sizing only goes up to 44... no love for big guys... pretty crappy if you ask me. Guess I'll put them in the file with GAP and other stores that I'll never shop at

[@mogwopjr]

Currently wearing Carhartt R01's. The last pair I could find. I traveled from the west coast all across to the east coast and found one pair left. I cant stand the front pocket on the new Carhartt or the Duluth. I have tried them both, and I still prefer the two snap version of the old R01's or even the Dickies style. For this reason I'll be going with Round House for my next pair. I've spent too many years with the nice front pockets. I also really don't care for the elastic gusset's on the new Carhartt bibs. Just not my thing. I really appreciate the overview of each of these, clothing is one of the things in life where two people will rarely have the exact same opinion. It isn't good or bad, it's just the way things are. Thanks for spending the $$$ and giving us a way to give a gander before we drop some coin.

[@338renegade]

you've just gotta size up a couple sizes with the roundhouse in terms of the waist, they're quite good material and build quality wise, I've tried most of the work bib makers and round house has the best denim fabric

[@CarlMurawski]

Thank you sir!

[@OldSarge]

Haven't tried any of the brands pictured here (although I've bought a number of Duluth Trading items), but for years (and I do mean years) I wore Key Brand bibs. At the time that I wore (and love) these bibs, there were made of 14 oz. denim. They switched all of a sudden, and I found myself receiving 12 oz. denim bibs, recognizable by the extra layer of fabric backing the shoulder strap buttons. The bibs felt sort of cheesy. They're still making them out of 12 oz. denim today, so I don't know if I'd recommend them. I do, however, wear Key Brand jeans, particularly now their double-front carpenter/contractor jeans with the suspender buttons. Excellent, sturdy (14 oz. denim again), and handy. As I'm not fashion show runway material, and don't much care about being trendy, these jeans are excellent for me and the way I live. In addition to the hammer loop and tool pocket on the legs, there's what I've been using as a cell phone pocket on the left leg, opposite the tool pocket. Very nice...and reasonably priced.

[@Yak9741]

I am a railroad maintenance of way worker, and wear Round House overalls daily. Nothing better for the job, whether I'm kneeling in the ballast, spiking, or climbing on equipment.

[@hephaestus6605]

A couple other options to look at are Big Smith and Key. I use both on a daily basis and personally I prefer the Big Smith for comfort level. Key are more durable but also less breathable in the warmer months. I just wish that Big Smith would make the zipper longer as it is a pain to hit the head with the shorter zippers. And the elastic on the shoulder straps is just a bad idea. I've never had a pair that didn't stretch and lose the ability to keep my bibs up where they need to be. Also Key and Big Smith are half the price of the Carhartt and Roundhouse being at around $35-$45 depending on where you get them.

[@roxbird20]

Keys are my personal favorites as far as denim overalls go. They fit me the best out of all the ones I've worn thus far and I like that you get one open top pocket for quick access and one flap pocket to keep things secure so when you undo your bib to sit on the toilet everything doesn't come tumbling out.

[@tiedyedkarma]

It's Big Smith for me. I used to wear Liberty's but I like the Big Smith chest pocket layout better. Good video.

[@Papa_Chad]

Great video. I've wore Roundhouse for years. I find that they are more of a traditional style as well. Their sizing also goes back to more of the way overalls were sized in the past. Generally two to four inches bigger in the waist than your normal britches size. Bigger barrel chested fellows will need to add to that number even more. You hit the nail on the head as well when you mentioned loose threads and stitches. That's my biggest complaint with them.

[@steveevans7188]

The Dickie bibs (to me) don't cut it to an extent. They tend to fall apart quickly, & by quickly I mean most wont last a single season. I live in the midwest, bought my bibs last winter. Three months in and the zipper front fell apart. I did like the feel of them though, & had a seamstress replace the zipper with snap buttons instead. It had a inner breast pocket, a snap pocket & a open pocket on the chest. On the waist it has 2 pockets on top of a opening to the inner layers( to reach the pockets of a pants under the bibs) if one chose to have it over clothes On the rear it had two pockets one zippered one open. On the legs ,the right leg has a pocket within another pocket. On the left it had a loop & a pocket. The feel was durable tough and the fabric still provides plenty of solid feel to it. I scrap for a liveing & need strong gear to take the daily punishment of working with metal. Which the dickies have done the job well. Other then the zipper issues it's a fantastic affordable bib or coveralls to use. Just don't expect the zippers to handle the day to day ware.

[@krazmokramer]

Do you have spyware on all my devices, Carl? I have recently been looking for bibs. This is a great look at overalls, espescially for people like me who haven't worn bibs since the early 1970s. Good job of discussing the pros and cons of each brand. Long looks at the features of each. I feel like I have been at the store actually looking at these. Those Round House look sweet, but your review pointed out some serious flaws even for casual wearers. The Carhartts are in first place for me right now. I really like my Carhartt flannel lined heavyweight denim jeans. Except that they make the front pockets way too deep and the top of the pockets way to tight. Nearly impossible to reach the change at the bottom of the pocket. And the coin pockets are too damn small to even get two fingers in. Their new heavyweight denim jeans are the same except for the funky new "stretch" denim they use. A follow up "part 2" with the brands you mentioned at the end but didn't review would be nicely welcomed. BTW, how do you know about that buritto truck emergency thing? Asking for a friend!!!

The watch pocket on RoundHouse overalls really isn't a true pocket. It's really just another opening into the chest pocket. I carry a pocket watch and if have to drop the bib (aka burrito incident) my watch slides out the top of the pocket and hits the floor. Plus, the straps on RoundHouse are always a little short for me. I guess I have a longer torso than average. I have to adjust them all the way out to keep from raising my voice pitch a few octaves, if ya know what I mean.

[@coopers1716]

I don’t like how soft/flexible denim bibs are, didn’t like how soft/flexible the Duluth were, if I was aiming for soft/flexible but extra protection a bit higher I would wear pants and a heavy shirt. I also wear extra wide bibs(in the FR world this is very common to do) so even tho I am a 34 waist 28 inseam I always get 40 waist 28 inseam.(carthartt also has waist/inseam instead of S/M/L/XL) the softer/flexible material that will be the right size in the winter when I wear sweats/jacket underneath is too loose and floppy in the summer that it poses a hazard while carthart stays stiff and holds its shape off of my body(great airflow in the summer). As you mentioned in the end even tho these are my points it comes down to buy different types and you will find your preference. I also have to say I don’t wear bibs everyday at work, I have them in the vehicle and some jobs are better suited for them while others are not.

Every pair I’ve had with elastic anywhere it goes out.don’t like my stuff in bib pockets hitting the floor zipper is necessary. Liberty is good.looking for better if there is any. ?.??

The Patogonia clasp falls apart in the dryer. Metal part joining the bottom comes loose and falls apart.

[@ryanfitzalan8634]

you didn't talk about the cut at the bottom of the pants. This makes them easier to wear casually if the cut fits casual shoes and boots well, but boot cut pants are very baggy and wide at the bottom and make guys feel awkward outside a work area. Womens variations include many fashionable and casual versions, but for guys we have to just wear our boot cut rolled dup over a pair of converse and strut with confidence.

Great review. Used to love the Carhartt but, since they have in my opinion gone to crap your video helped with some alternatives

[@bloodbushcraft2467]

I just got some round house double kneed duck canvas ones. I wish the right thigh pockets were wider, it's where I normally keep my wallet, there's no watch pocket which is were I usually keep my Zippo. And I with the straps where a bit longer. And a zipper top option would be nice.

[@joe_ferreira]

The Carhartt flex bibs are extremely comfortable. I prefer them over the standard ones.

[@chambo9212]

I believe roundhouse uses 14oz denim. The heaviest of the 4 and would also explain why they don’t have reinforced knees.

[@angelmacias5887]

Looking to get one for a motorcycle commuter which should I go for?

[@ericandrade1222]

I wear Carhartt but my favorite is Ben Davis overalls with built in pouches for the trades..

[@liasummers1824]

I like Duluth gardening overalls. They are made of light nylon fabric and have knee pad pockets.

[@bradgiez6192]

Are there any other bibs made in North America? I'm a large guy & was disappointed in Roundhouse for this review as I was about to order from them, now I'm holding off. Carhartt I'm not interested in.

[@psychiatry-is-eugenics]

Where are they made ?

[@VortekXtiik]

I like the overalls with a zipper or flap, preferably a zipper so you don’t get a bunch of dust in your phone, or if you work over the water they are nice.

[@banana_bread_at_work]

Would love a follow up video with more comparisons!

[@3dartistguy]

How come Not Liberty Overalls?

[@Shields_42]

Berne has always been my favorite

[@ryang112]

I like all things Duluth, but their overalls are not long enough for me. Carhartt has 36" inseam so that's what I wear. I too like the clip area on the carhartt pockets.

[@ohiopipper3956]

Thanks for the video I am wanting to buy the roundhouse hickory strip bibs just to have a different color/ style to wear.

[@GavanMcNair]

Liberty overalls are my preferred because of how comfortable they become

[@allanyang21]

I been wearing Dickies for 4 years and they get really worn out after a year. Went through at least 10. Thinking of getting carhartt or Milwaukee. Like to hear your thoughts on the Milwaukee overalls.

[@Sosalolo_1400]

I got a question should I get a size up?

[@matthewmanion1074]

I'm new to overalls for men's I'm looking for style & comfort because I have swollen legs down to both of my feet so I need something loose

[@ThreePhaseHigh]

Who makes the pinstripe?

[@CC-lv1ox]

@carlmurawski Do we size up on these RoundHouse ?

[@ryankelly1846]

How convenient, I was literally JUST shopping for a 2nd pair of overalls since I'm about to be working full time outside in the winters now

[@ryankelly1846]

If only the carhartt had zip to thigh with the stretch panel 😭😭

[@reinaldogarcia70]

I appreciate all your information thank you
