Bib overalls and suit jackets
My criteria for bib overalls: 1) must be a size big enough (sometimes those are hard to find) 2) must have a button fly ("real" overalls do not have a zipper fly) 3) must not have any zipper pockets on the bib (see above) 4) must have a watch pocket on the bib (people who wear bib overalls...- Big Man

Bib overalls and suit jackets
This photo is from several years ago, but gives a good view of my Roundhouse overalls. My grandson (who is 16 now) is also wearing Roundhouse overalls. Oops. I just noticed that the overalls I'm wearing in this photo are Key brand and not Roundhouse. My apologies for not paying close...- Big Man

Bib overalls and suit jackets
I wear my overalls for work, so would rather have them a little on the shorter side in the legs and a lot bigger in the waist/body. As a general rule, I will order about four sizes too big and four inches too short from my "normal" size (although anyone who knows me would never call me...- Big Man

Bib overalls and suit jackets
I thought this old photo from September, 1931 might be of interest to this thread. This is a photo of the opening day of Belks department store in Marion, NC. The two primary employers at that time in Marion were the textile mill and the furniture factory. From the look of the crowd, there...- Big Man

Canning
Pumpkin pie. I love pumpkin pie! I had a really nice crop of pumpkins coming on this year, but the deer and wild turkeys have destroyed the garden. I managed to salvage only two pumpkins, and have them in the cellar ready to be made into pies (of course).- Big Man

Please help Cindy (LuvMyMan) and Daniel.
I just saw this thread and want to help. I don't do PayPal (hey, I'm "old" I guess). Is there another way I can help other than to send my thoughts and prayers? -

What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?
I did a little hiking today on Mt. Mitchell and wore my old L.L. Bean "Moose River" hat. It's not that pretty any more, but it serves its  purpose well. -

Bib overalls and suit jackets
I don't know about the company you asked about, but I did look at their website and for the price I don't see how you could go wrong. I haven't seen herringbone patterned overalls in years (like in 50 years or more). If you decide to get a pair, please let us know how they are (and post...- Big Man

My daughter sent some paint with my little grandson so he could paint some rocks today. I didn't think that was such a good idea. Looks like old Granddaddy really did know what he was talking about ...- Big Man

July 2, 1937 - Amelia Earhart
Any thoughts on the story in today's news about the old photo recently discovered supposedly showing Earhart and Noonan? I am usually somewhat skeptical about "new finds" like this, but this time it appears to be receiving coverage by the major news outlets (ABC, CBS, NBC).- Big Man
