Best Overalls For Men in 2022

If you’re looking for a brand with workwear pedigree, then you have found it with Carharrt. They’ve been making work clothing since the late 1800s and have upheld an awesome reputation ever since. The company has come a long way since they wrote their first slogan “honest value for an honest dollar”. That’s not to say their clothing isn’t good value. You are going to have to pay considerably more than the manual laborers did in 1889 though! In the last couple of years, Carhartt has become a really popular and fashionable brand.

The Carhartt Men’s Duck Bib Unlined Overall R01 is one of the coolest and most functional male overalls on the market. They’re made out of 12-ounce, 100% ring-spun cotton, which makes them extremely hard-wearing. They are probably not going to be as hard-wearing as a pair of jean overalls, but the cotton material makes them a lot softer. Perfect if you want a mix of toughness and comfort. The suspenders are elastic and fully adjustable, and the zipper fly is really high-quality. You can always tell a lot about the quality of clothes by checking out the zippers. In terms of pockets, you get a multi-compartment bib pocket, two large front pockets, and multiple back pockets. This gives you plenty of space to carry your phone, front pocket wallet, keys and anything else you might need. It also comes with a handy hammer-loop, which will come in handy if you are using these for work. They come in black or a leather-brown color and have reinforced paneling on the knee section, in case you need to kneel for long periods.

Dickies is another brand that is synonymous with workwear. They’ve been in the game since 1922, when Texans EE “Colonel” Dickie, CN Williamson, and his son C Don Williamson started the company. Back then it was a small, family-run business, but now Dickies sell their products all over the world. They are known for making high-quality, affordable workwear and everyday clothes. So, if you are looking for overall clothes, Dickies is a pretty great place to start.

The Dickies Men’s Denim Bib Overall go for the classic farmer look, with their denim material and detachable straps. They are made to have a generous fit, which makes them comfortable for those long, hard days. The legs are designed to fit over a boot or can be rolled up to give a more ‘punk’ look. They are made from 100% cotton denim and come in two colors: indigo rigid and stonewashed indigo blue. The best thing about these particular overalls is the number of pockets you get. When you first put them on, it feels like it could be weeks before you notice every pocket. The main bib has 5 pockets. Then, it has a dual pocket, that can fit your cell phone or pliers in. On top of that, you get two pockets on the side and two on the back. If you manage to fill everyone, we’ll be impressed. You also get a hammer loop and a buttonhole in the bib to attach your front pocket watch too. And we know that everyone needs somewhere to put their pocket watch!

Liberty might not be as well-known as Carhartt or Dickies, but they still have a long and proven history of making workwear. They’ve been going since 1922 and make clothing that is just as high-quality as the more well-known brands. The Liberty Men’s Stonewashed Denim Bib Overall is certainly no exception to that. The stonewashed denim and green features give it a similar old-time farmer look to the Dickies denim overall. And, they also have an impressive number of pockets. The bib has a mixture of buttoned and zipped pockets and there are roomy pockets on the front and back of the overalls, including a large pocket down the side of the leg. Plus, you get a hammer loop.

The finely woven cotton denim resists against snags and tears. This is super important for those of you that plan to work in these overalls. The last thing you want is to create a rip in them and leave your skin exposed. For more great clothes like this, be sure to check out our guide to the best hiking pants.

The Carhartt Men’s Zip To Thigh Bib Overall Unlined is the second overall from Carhartt. You can expect the same style and quality from all Carhartt bib overalls, but there are a few different features that make this overall different to the last. First, it has much baggier legs. This might be an advantage for some people that have larger legs or like a lot of room in their pants, but the first overalls are more stylish. Secondly, it doesn’t have a lining on the inside. This makes it much more versatile for the summer months. You can choose to wear extra layers underneath in cold weather or let it breathe in the summer. It’s perfect for people working outside all year around. And finally, it has ankle-to-thigh leg zippers. This means you can really let the air to your legs when it gets too hot. You don’t see leg zippers on many clothes these days, so it’s a great feature to have.

Other than that, the design is quite similar. You get a lot of useful pockets – including a zipper bib pocket – and a hammer loop on the back. If you are a fan of the brand, be sure to check out our guide to the best Carhartt jackets.

If you’re looking for a slightly different look from your overalls, then the Dickies Men’s Hickory Stripe Bib Overall is a really cool option. They have an amazing black and white stripe pattern that makes them look like something out of a Tim Burton film. This look provides something different than the standard denim or plain colored overalls. But don’t be fooled into thinking that these overalls are purely for fashion. Sure, they’ll look pretty awesome with the right outfit, but they are just as usable as any of the other overalls on this list.

They are made from 100% cotton, which is really durable and resists snags and tears. Plus, you get a similar array of pockets as the first Dickies overalls. These include three bib pockets and large pockets on the front and back of the leg. You also get the pocket watch slot and hammer loop.

The last Carhartt overalls were designed to keep you cool in the summer months. These ones are designed to keep you warm. Sure, you could buy any pair of overalls and just wear layers underneath but having a specific pair for the winter is going to make you a whole lot more comfortable when the temperature starts to drop. They are made out of the same 12-ounce 100% ring-spun cotton as the other Carhartt products, but also have a warm nylon quilted polyester lining. You will notice the difference in thickness and warmth as soon as you slip it on.

The Carhartt Men’s Quilt Lined Zip To Thigh Bib Overalls feature the same ankle-to-thigh zip in case you get too warm in them. Plus, they have the same useful pockets, including the zipped bib pocket. Be sure to combine them with some of the best V-neck T-shirts from our list.

If you liked the first Liberty overalls but weren’t a fan of the color. Then, check out the Liberty Men’s Rigid Denim Bib Overall. They feature a dark-blue, denim color instead of the light, stonewashed color. This makes them less conspicuous and means that you’ll look less like a farmer if that’s what you want. They are just as high-quality as the stonewashed liberty overalls and are actually a little bit cheaper. They are considerably cheaper than a lot of well-known brands like Carhartt, but you get a similar level of quality.

The 115-ounce rigid denim won’t snag or tear when it’s caught and it’s triple-needle stitched for extra reinforcement – these overalls are tough. The pockets are in the same layout as the stonewashed overalls: five on the bib, two on the front, and two on the back.

The Carhartt Men’s Quilt Lined Sandstone Bib Overalls are the fourth and final entry from Carhartt. They are quilted like the last ones but don’t have the ankle-to-thigh zips. This is really a preference in style. Do you prefer the thinner legs or the zipped option? They are just as warm, with the same beautiful quilted lining. The other big difference is the range of color options. You can get them in 5 colors (Moss, Carhartt Brown, Dark Brown, Black & Brown) and they have a distressed look that makes them look like they could be 100 years old – in a good way. Plus, they come with plenty of pockets and the normal hammer loop and watch strap. Be sure to combine this with a cool apron for men from our list. 

Berne is another workwear company that’s been in the game for a long time. Since 1915, they have been competing with the likes of Dickies and Carhartt for a share of the workwear market. The impressive thing is that they’ve thrived in the face of such competition. The Berne Men’s Deluxe Insulated Bib is a fantastic addition to this list. It is made from similar materials and is just as durable as the rest. The main difference is that it isn’t made for looks. It’s made for work.

It has two bib pockets, two front pockets, two back pockets, and one down the side of the leg. Plus, it’s insulated for warmth and has an elasticated waistband for extra comfort. Don’t forget to also check our guide to the best wader pants for more great items like this.

The Dickies Men’s Painters Bib Overall is made specifically for painters. The color painters use most is white, so the white fabric prevents and stains from showing. Like all Dickies overalls, they have a roomy fit, so that you can wear them all day without feeling uncomfortable. Because they are baggy, they have to be made from a material that doesn’t snag, which is why they use the cotton duck and finely woven cotton denim. This pair of overalls comes with eight useful pockets and two hammer loops, instead of the one found on most overalls. This is because painters and decorators often have tools that they need to keep handy at all times.
