How to Size Bib Overalls and Coveralls

Berne bibs and coveralls use two kinds of sizing: letter sizes (S to 6XL) for insulated styles, and number sizes for most men's unlined bibs. Here's how to find yours.

How to measure

  • Chest: measure 1" below your armpit, with the tape level and snug against your body.
  • Waist: measure where you wear your pants. This is also your pant size.
  • Inseam: hold the tape against your crotch and measure straight down to the floor.

Men's insulated bibs and coveralls: letter sizes

Our insulated bibs and coveralls are already cut to wear over your clothes, so order by your body measurements.

Size Chest Waist
S 34" to 36" 28" to 30"
M 38" to 40" 30" to 32"
L 42" to 44" 34" to 36"
XL 46" to 48" 38" to 40"
2XL 50" to 52" 42" to 44"
3XL 54" to 56" 46" to 48"
4XL 58" to 60" 50" to 52"
5XL 62" to 64" 54" to 56"
6XL 66" to 68" 58" to 60"

The Icecap Insulated Bib Overall also comes in 7XL and 8XL.

Men's unlined bibs: your chest size is your bib size

Most men's unlined bibs, like the Heritage Unlined Duck Bib, Highland Flex Unlined Duck Bib and Vintage Washed Duck Bib, are sized by number. Your chest measurement is your bib size, so a 44" chest wears a 44. Your pant inseam is your inseam length.

Bib size (chest) Waist
36 30"
38 32"
40 34"
42 36"
44 38"
46 40"
48 42"
50 44"
52 46"
54 48"
56 50"
58 52"
60 54"
62 56"
64 58"
66 60"

The Heritage Unlined Washed Denim Bib is sized by waist instead.

Short, Regular or Tall?

Men's inseams run 30" in Short, 32" in Regular and 34" in Tall. On insulated bibs and coveralls, Short is 2" shorter in the torso and 1" shorter in the sleeve than Regular, and Tall is 2" longer in the torso and 1" longer in the sleeve.

Women's bibs

Women's bibs use women's letter sizes and come in Short, Regular and Tall.

Size Chest Waist Hip
S 35" to 37" 28.5" to 30" 37" to 38.5"
M 37.5" to 39.5" 30.5" to 33" 39" to 41"
L 40" to 43" 33.5" to 37" 41.5" to 45"
XL 43.5" to 45.5" 37.5" to 40" 45.5" to 48"
2XL 46" to 47.5" 40.5" to 42.5" 48.5" to 50"
3XL 48" to 52" 43" to 46" 50.5" to 54"
4XL 52.5" to 55.5" 46.5" to 50" 54.5" to 58"

Measure your hips at the fullest part, and your waist at your natural waist, level with your belly button. See our women's workwear guide for more.

Common questions

Should I size up for insulated bibs?
Our insulated bibs and coveralls are already adjusted to wear over clothing, so order the size that matches your body measurements.

Should I get bib overalls or coveralls?
Bib overalls pair with any jacket, so you can swap your top layer as the day changes. Coveralls cover you top to bottom in one piece.

How do I know if I need Tall?
Go by your inseam: 30" is Short, 32" is Regular and 34" is Tall on men's bibs.
