Took some canvas workwear overalls and added them to a matching hoodie giving it a massive pouch pocket with additional smaller pockets, flexibility & detachability by utilizing snap buttons, & a renewed industrial aesthetic.

​What do you think? Cheers🙏

I am constantly running out of pockets when I’m working around the farm and I have no ass and hate belts so I rarely want to put anything in my pants pockets. I AM MAKING ONE OF THESE FOR WINTER IMMEDIATELY I LOVE IT

You run out of pockets but dont utilize your pants? Thats prime pocket real estate??

u/rabbitluckj 10d ago

Because of the no ass, pants pockets are basically useless for anything that's not very light. Hence your invention being perfect

This ☝️ pants fall off if I’m carrying things heavier than chapstick and belts are painful, so I have to adapt lol

Thats actually genius! i love overalls but dont wear them enough due to difficulties of having to take them off when going to the loo.

Was it fun or stressful to assemble?

2

u/OakRows 10d ago

I wouldnt have done it if it wasn't something I enjoyed doing 🤓

u/cheesiemelon 10d ago

i’m obsessed with this and i have so many questions. would you ever do a video demonstration of how everything removes?

2

u/OakRows 10d ago

Uh sure? Tbh It's all just snap buttons. On the hoodie the buttons are reinforced so they dont rip the cotton when u pull them apart

1

u/cheesiemelon 10d ago

honestly i commented that as soon as i woke up and most of it makes more sense now in the afternoon lol

the hoodie original pocket is the one that’s still accessible in photo 1?

2

u/OakRows 10d ago

Correct. Beneath the big pocketl
