I’d never owned a pair of bib overalls until I heard from Rosies Workwear for Women.

WhenRosies Workwearoffered me a chance to try out a complementary twosome of the company ’s bib overalls , I jumped at the opportunity . When I try them on , I jumped for joy . In all my vegetable gardening days , I ’d never own a pair of overalls because men ’s size never fit properly . Baggy apparel or pant legs that draw on the undercoat can be downright grave when working in the garden .

Rosies Workwear is key for the toughRosie the Rivetertypes who helped support our country ’s warfare effort during World War II . While my vegetable horticulture ca n’t have got a trowel to that kind of industry , it still take a lot of hot , sweaty work .

The professional “ heater ” boilersuit I trialed are fashionable , but super operative . There are 11 pockets , including a hidden inner pouch , to contain tools of every shape and size . The elastic straps are fully adjustable so a pair can be made to suit just about any Supreme Headquarters Allied Powers Europe and size . These are the most comfortable work clothes I ’ve ever worn .

They ’re also adjustable on the side for a loose or mingy fit . I thought they look and fit so well that I did n’t exchange apparel when I needed to make a quick stumble to the garden center . That ’s something I never would ’ve done in my regular horticulture gear .

These overalls have some especially nice features . At the top of my list are the obliterable kneepads . Because they match snuggly inside the knees , there ’s no more searching for the kneel pad or trying to get knee lodgings to stay in position when getting down and dirty in the garden .

Another nice feature , the boilers suit are made of a bad polyester - cotton plant blend textile with a water - tolerant finish . After a longsighted twenty-four hour period of planting in the vegetable bottom , it was gentle to throw off out the soil before tossing them into the automatic washer .

Rosies bib overall occur in an assortment of cool colors and some have zip off legs . The line of classical boilers suit are made from 100 % cotton twill weave . A elaborate size chart makes it loose to discover the complete fit .

In fact the scene is part of the report behind the founding of Rosies in 2002 . That ’s when Sharon Moore gain men ’s coverall amaze a safety endangerment when she was learning to weld . Instead of giving up on welding , she originate a woman ’s workwear party . It ’s almost like the workwear isanother toolto tote up to a gardeners ’ tool grip .

A prissy touch is the community of interests of Rosies Workwear women who apportion their stories and projects on the Rosies web log and through Facebook , Twitter , Pinterest and Instagram . Based in San Luis Obispo , Calif. , a portion of proceeds from sales pop off to non-profit-making organizations that support and encourage women in the community .

I know I ’m going to get years of gardening wear out of my bib overalls because of all the thought that went into designing and stitch them . It also feels keen to pull on a bit of wearable that plug in me with that Rosie the Riveter “ We Can Do It ” attitude .
