Used Workwear Appraisal

Used Carhartt Duck Bib Overalls

This item is a pair of Carhartt brand duck bib overalls, specifically designed for workwear. They appear to be made from a heavy-duty, brown-toned canvas or 'duck' fabric, characteristic of Carhartt garments. The color is a rich, weathered brown, showing significant signs of wear and fading, particularly on the thighs, chest bib, and knees, indicating extensive use and providing a desirable patinated appearance. The construction features durable stitching, likely triple-stitched in key areas for strength, a hallmark of Carhartt's quality craftsmanship. Notable features include adjustable black elastic suspender straps with metal buckles for secure fastening, a large main bib pocket with a zipper closure and an additional smaller open pocket, and a square 'Carhartt' logo patch stitched onto the bib pocket. There are also hip pockets and possibly tool pockets on the legs, though not all are clearly visible. The lower legs show reinforced cuffs, and there are zippers with snap closures at the ankles, likely for easier donning over boots. The overall condition reflects heavy use, with areas of discoloration, potential staining, and generalized fading consistent with a well-worn work garment. There are no obvious tears or holes visible in the image, suggesting good structural integrity despite the cosmetic wear. The material has softened and conformed to a used state, indicating a comfortable, broken-in feel. Given the wear and style, these overalls likely date from the late 20th or early 21st century.
