The thing I appreciate about "the look" is that it's pure working-class practicality.

Hey all. First post here.
At times I am known to wear Roundhouse overalls with either a button up shirt, or if its cold an olive drab military style sweater and a denim barn coat, topped with a flat cap. Looks snazzy even if I do say so myself Ha Ha.

This has been an interesting thread! I have thoroughly enjoyed seeing these old vintage photos and reading about memories of grandparents and relatives who wore this attire regularly. I have a pair of brown carhartts that have never fit me proper because I didn’t size up. I clearly remember wearing Liberty’s as a young kid but never delved into bib overalls until those carhartts about 10 or so years ago. I think I’ll try my hand at a pair of Roundhouse denim and see how that goes. Although, I most likely won’t wear a suit coat with them but I do have a corduroy sport coat that may not look too bad.

I really like the look. I want to get a pair of overalls, and wear it with a bowler!

A beat up bowler would look good with some overalls! Lots of character.

I've seen yours on the bay recently and if I was in the market for one I'd hit you up for sure!

That Lasalle is just my size but I couldn't pull off the bowler look. But I do have you as a saved seller though.
