Product Information

One of the biggest overall manufacturers was Blue Bell, which began in North Carolina in 1904. It was popular among railroad workers. [6]

The first evidence of overalls being mass-produced are those made by Levi Strauss and Jacob Davis in the 1890s. The first " jeans" they invented were actually "waist-high overalls", consisting of denim pants with suspenders attached with buttons, but without a bib. [3] From the beginning, denim overalls were popular workers' garments due to their durability. In fact, Levi Strauss & Co.'s slogan in the 1880s-1890s was "Never Rip, Never Tear". [7]A common feature of salopettes is snow gaiters, which are a fabric guard fitted at the bottom of the pants near the leg opening, designed to prevent snow from entering any gaps in your gear, thus keeping you snowproof and dry. Snow gaiters usually come with zips, poppers or adjustable strapattachments to adjust the fit and provide enough wiggle room for them to fit around your boots and salopettes. How Should Ski Pants Fit?

Much of the physicality and impact of skiing or snowboarding is down to the movement of the knees and as a result, you need full mobility that is unhindered by tight clothing or inflexible materials. Articulated knee darts are a simple design addition to allow flexible, free movement that is not normally possible with a regular pair of trousers. This depends on the conditions you’ll be facing. Tradition has it that at least one thermal base layer should be worn under your ski pants, but this can be unnecessary when skiing late in the season in relatively mild weather. Uninsulated hardshell ski pants can be worn alone in this instance, especially if you know you won’t be breaking a sweat on the slopes, but we recommend wearing a thin, lightweight base layer to be on the safe side.Levi Strauss & Co. and Lee were not the only companies making overalls in the late 19th and 20th centuries. In 1927, Lee's developed a "hook-less fastener" and created "button-less" overalls. Zippers replaced buttons. [3] Soon after, suspender buttons were traded in for belt loops to attach over-the-shoulder straps. [3] The Overalls Movement of 1920 [ edit ] In 1920, groups of "Overalls Clubs" formed around the United States. They took overalls as their symbol to protest the rising cost of clothing, and profiteering in the garment industry. [8] The Great Depression [ edit ]
