What Are Bib and Brace Overalls?

Bib and brace overalls are a type of protective work clothing consisting of trousers with an attached bib that covers the chest and has shoulder straps (the "brace") to hold them up.

They are designed for durability and functionality, and you'll often see them worn by people working in manual labour industries like farming, gardening, and mechanics. They shield you against spills and splashes from things like mud, paint, or cleaning fluids, as well as offering protection from wet weather.

The great thing about these work overalls is that they can be worn over your existing workwear. The flexibility of the ergonomic design means they are comfortable too, so they don't feel restrictive in a way that sometimes full zip overalls can.

Wear them throughout the seasons - just throw them on over your t-shirt and lightweight trousers during the milder months and pair waterproof bib and brace overalls with a waterproof jacket and wellies to keep you dry from head to toe in the winter.

Key Features to Look For 

Professionals in industries like agriculture and painting & decorating rely on these work overalls because they offer multi protection against spills and weather. They also provide exceptional comfort and freedom of movement. This is all down to their practical and intentional design.

Some key features that make up the best bib and brace are adjustable shoulder straps, which help you get the right fit and wear the overalls comfortably over your work shirt, as well as appropriate ankle cuffs that accommodate different types of footwear. 

Robust materials that can hold their own against tears, scrapes, and difficult weather are essential for maximum durability, and it's also handy if these fabrics are breathable for the warmer months. Multiple pockets, including chest, side, and tool pockets, also come in useful for outdoor work, and reinforced knees, double-stitched seams, or extra layers in high-wear areas can help overalls last longer, especially if used for heavy-duty tasks.

How to Get the Right Size for Work Overalls

We often get asked about sizing for bib and brace. The main thing to remember is that the fit tends to be on the larger size for ease of movement with your layers underneath. So, it'll likely have a more loose-fitting design than your jacket will for instance. 

Check the size guides for each product, as these hold the chest and waist measurements you will need to compare against your own. If you're ever unsure, just give our customer services team a call or get in touch via email - we'll be happy to point you in the right direction.
