Their jeans fit my + sized butt well, when I have to dress up.
There was a time when it didn't believe me.Braggart…. LOL
That's part of the problem though. They are warm enough that you quickly work up a heavy sweat if you're very active and then, since they are cotton based they neither wick away the moisture or retain heat well while damp, you freeze as soon as your activity level decreases. They're fine as long as the activity is constant or where you can retreat to warmer areas once the activity decreases.I don't know how anyone doing any kind of physical labor could keep COOL in the Arctic stuff, though. Seriously. Unless you're sitting still and literally doing nothing; those Arctic insulated things are HOT. Too hot.
When my dad was a toddler in the '50s, grandma used to hook a line from his bib straps to the clothesline to keep him from wandering off when she was doing chores. Worked well for awhile until one day she looked and saw the bibs hanging from the clothesline and my dad running naked across the yard.When my little girl was 5 or 6, I bought her a set of Carrhart bibs. They were real handy because you could use the bib straps as a carry handle. Just pick her up and carry her around.
This has been my motto since my dad passed it to me. He survived Russia in the winter during WWII. He knew a thing about cold."There is no bad weather, only bad clothes".
This is they key to ANY clothing.The key to Carhartts long life is to only wash them when necessary. Easy to get 20 years out of a jacket or bibs that way.
Smart man. The truth is never politically incorrect.This has been my motto since my dad passed it to me. He survived Russia in the winter during WWII. He knew a thing about cold.
He used to expound a little on this and say there are two reasons people are cold; 1 is they don't have the money to buy the proper gear and 2, they are stupid.
He was not know to be politically correct,lol.
