Scope and content

Full-length indigo denim dungarees with traditional workwear features and white topstitching. They have adjustable silver dungaree clasps and silver jeans buttons to fasten the bib and two buttons at each side. There is a front pocket on the bib with two compartments that fasten with two silver poppers. There are two decorative white buttonholes stitched into the front, one in the centre of the pocket and one to the left of the centre of the top of the bib. The dungarees have the traditional denim five pockets - two slant pockets, one small coin pocket in the right front pocket and two back patch pockets. The dungarees can be worn as trousers with the bib folded down as there are two belt loops and two buttons sewn into the internal side of the bib. The straps can imitate a belt by threading them through the belt loops and attaching the clasps to the buttons.
