I read the reviews before I bought so knew what I was in for- just to reiterate what others have said before- the clips are solid but cheesier than the button and enclosed hooks we are used to. God I hate change. And if you wear a 32 in Carharts, get these a size up they are more snug than the jeans. Other than that and looking like a hillbilly, these overalls are rad, I really do like them.
