They look like the latest style for queer tradesmen. I don't understand where any increased functionality comes from the single strap thing. Looks gay.

That was my first thought also. Another thing, I don't like the idea of one strap weighing on just one shoulder.

Re: What Do You Think Of These


aaaa, yeah, what MD said

guess I'm more redneck than that "model" they have since I dont understand the concept of missing a strap, I guess having 2 on my bibs never caused me a problem and IMO is looks better, that looks like a wanna be womans dress with the single strap

Re: What Do You Think Of These


HA! I used to see the little wiggers in my area wearing something like that. Instead of buying those with the second strap missing, they'd just not button it and let it hand down behind em.

Re: What Do You Think Of These


I've nailed many a hanging strap to the wall. Tuck it in or cut it off!

I know the guy that designed those, he was the same guy that came up it was cool wearing suspenders but pulling them off your shoulders and wearing them hanging lose off your waste.

Re: What Do You Think Of These


You can see that look all of the time in NC. The second strap of the Pointers often hangs. They also don't care to button up the sides. Calling them homo would definitly be a bad thing. You could wind up like Ned Beatty in 'Deliverence'. WHOOPS!!!!

Re: What Do You Think Of These


I prefer my custom made 3 strap overalls. The third one goes over my head and covers up the bald spot

I'm still stuck on trying to coordinate my nail bag. Don't get me started on steel-toed heels. I don't think Manolo Blahnik is making them yet.

Re: What Do You Think Of These


Shunk, why would you keep a picture like that in your data base? I'm hoping it's because you thought that someone would start a thread like this and you could share it !! People will try to market anything if they feel they can make a buck. I guess they'll lose on this one from the reaction from you guys. I can't believe someone talked the manufacturer into trying to market something like that.
