bib overalls

Chest-covering work pants

Bib overalls are a one-piece garment combining trousers with a chest panel (the bib) held up by shoulder straps.

Originally workwear for farmers and laborers, they're also called overalls or, in some regions, simply bibs: He pulled on his bib overalls before heading to the barn.

The front bib typically has a chest pocket, and the loose fit allows movement while protecting clothes underneath.
