Y’ALL. I just had an epiphany.
Bear with me: it’s about my new overalls.

You know the big pocket on the front of the bib? Okay.
Multiple pockets. At first you think it’s just the two you can see, and you’re a little disappointed even though they’re generously sized.

One, the smaller one, is open. The larger, has the flap.
Here they are. My whole hand, with fingers half-spread, in the big pocket. Two to three fingers in the other, and I can’t reach the bottom. Good for longer items... candy bars, for example.

But... no big patch pocket. No larger pocket to drop stuff in from the top, like I’m used to.
(All my other bibs are men’s.)

I *use* that pocket, man.
Discover: That’s because it opens from the side. AND it zips shut.
Cool, cool. Weird design choice, but nice. Giant, too. Fits my whole hand, fully spread, plus a little.

Okay, Selene, that’s great. You said “epiphany.” What’s so bloody brilliant about a side-zip bib pocket?
Why is this so bloody brilliant?
Mind you, I’ve been wearing these all day. Carrying stuff in them, digging on all the features.
But... I just realized why the pockets were designed this way.
On women’s bibs.

Because anytime we need to use the bathroom, that bib drops.
With men’s bibs, the things fall out of those pockets.
Every time. Onto bathroom floors. Unless you have the time and forethought to empty your pockets first, and someplace to set your things.

NOTHING FALLS OUT OF THESE.
Absolutely bloody brilliant.
Seriously. There’s more great pocket placement and design on these, but that... that alone is just brilliant. Women actually designed (or were consulted) on this.
I’ve never seen women’s bibs with that kind of thought in the pockets.

I mean, there’s also two big lateral right thigh pockets, left thigh pen/pencil/knife spot... a hammer loop... a *glasses* loop...
[Insert maniacal laughter here]
I am further evidence that women go nuts for good pockets.
Thank you for coming on this journey of discovery with me.
