We bought these for my 18 year old son who was working at a horse stable and wanted overalls essentially to keep the hay out of his trousers (which would happen with jeans), and also has lots of pockets to hold tools that he needs to have on hand. He loves his overalls. His biggest concern was that the overalls would be stiff and uncomfortable; basically requiring several washings and wearing before they would be comfortable, but these were soft and comfy the first time he wore them. Now we a have a bit of trouble keeping him from wearing them everywhere, and I like them so much that I am going to order a pair for me to use this spring/summer working in the yard.
