…..(Overalls)…..

I call mine Patrice…..

She’s been a good friend to me over the years…she’s reticent…yet opinionated…..

Patrice…Me…and the #$%^&^%$#’ing  PTO…

We’ve had many hours of verbal-jousting…(it worries my family and keeps my neighbors at a distance)…..

…..(Overalls…over the years)…..

All my Patrices are friends…some have paint splattered on them from past projects…others have identifying tears from wire/or nails/or animals…some with un-identifiable stains (that are better left that way)…..

…..(Why Wear Overalls?)….

I know when it’s time to launder them…it’s when the dogs are too curious & won’t leave me alone…or the cats start pawing at my cuffs like they’re litter boxes…..

But the real purpose of this post…is to identify the uses of all the wonderful overall pockets…and loops…and secret-button-holes…..

I’ve noticed that different brands have different pocket locations and different accoutrements…..

There’s Liberty, Carhartt, Sears (& Roebuck), Hickory Stripe, Dickies, Key, Duluth, Berne, and more…..

…..they all have big bibs…(I love big bibs)…..

…..I also love the lack of waistbands…(they’re perfect for buffets or smorgasbords)…..

…..I have been know to wear (the cleaner/newer) Patrices to the All-You-Can-Eat Golden Corral Buffet…..

…..(and I may have left with a hidden sirloin steak (or two) in my pockets)…..

…..(I may have)…..

…..(there’s also less mess with some forethought & a zip-lock bag)…..

Hey…don’t judge me…it’s BEEF!…..

…..(A Video Explaining All Of The Pockets)…..

I recently discovered a little button hole at the top of the bib (next to the extra-secure/zippered/snapped-pocket)…it’s for attaching the end of your pocket-watch-fob (of course)…..

…..good to know…..

…..and the narrow pockets (next to the zippered or flapped pockets on some bibs) are for your carpenter pencils…..

I’d already known that the denim loops on the sides of the pants were for hanging hammers…..

*****I now know the extra-secure bib pocket (where you can store your cell phone) is only extra-secure if you actually zipper it*****

…..otherwise…your phone falls out when you pull your bibs down in the bathroom…..

…..AND keep track of those shoulder straps while you’re on the john…or they can get really wet…..

There are fun/little/extra-pockets for loose change…and big/back pockets for whatevers…(like revolvers & handkerchiefs & carrots)…..

…what is this double-stitched secret flap for?…I have no idea…

It’s like wearing a mobile-Room-of-Requirement…..(Room of Requirement Explained)…..

Patrice and I will always be the best of buds…(she knows all my secrets…they’re hidden in her pockets)…..

Patrice…Addy…and me…
