What is a bib overall (bib and brace)?
A bib overall, also called a bib and brace, is a work trouser featuring braces and a bib front. It’s worn over regular clothing and often comes with practical pockets for tools. The shoulder straps keep the trousers in place, providing freedom of movement. These are widely used in agriculture, construction, and painting but are also popular as a casual fashion item.
