Explore the Fristads Bib and Brace Overalls Collection
Fristads bib and brace overalls offer a trusted combination of comfort, coverage, and smart functionality. Designed for professionals across sectors — from carpentry and construction to rail and cleanroom environments — these overalls are engineered to meet the demands of the job, with tailored models for general use, high-visibility, flame protection, and specialised industries.
Standard Work Bib & Braces
These are the classic dungarees for tradesmen. Typically made from sturdy cotton or cotton/poly blend (such as 100% FAS cotton or a 65/35 polycotton), they come in colours like navy, black, grey, or khaki. They feature adjustable elasticated shoulder straps, a high front and back (to protect the torso and keep drafts out), and many pockets. A common layout includes a large zipped or snapped bib pocket (sometimes with pen compartments), side pockets, back pockets, a ruler pocket, and tool loops. Fristads ensures plenty of functional storage, as seen in models like the Craftsman Bib’n’Brace 1111 KC (Kansas Icon line), which includes multiple front and side pockets plus a knife holder. The design focus is on freedom of movement (e.g., back pleats or elastic in the bib) and all-day comfort. These basic bib & braces are used by carpenters, farmers, mechanics — anyone who needs trousers that won’t fall down and that offer some upper-body protection.
Hi-Visibility Bib & Braces
For workers needing high-vis, Fristads produces bib and brace overalls in fluorescent yellow or orange with reflective stripes, certified to EN ISO 20471 Class 2 or 3. Examples include the High-Vis Bib’n’Brace Class 2 1001 series, a fluorescent polycotton overall with reflective tape for visibility. Many of these also feature a water- and dirt-repellent finish and CORDURA®-reinforced knees for extra durability. They’re a top choice for road construction crews, railway workers (with RIS-3279-TOM compliant orange models), and utility teams. Some high-vis bibs are part of the Green collection, incorporating recycled or organic materials while still meeting safety standards — ideal for eco-conscious professionals.
Flame Retardant and Multinorm Bib & Braces
For environments involving fire, heat, or arc risks, Fristads offers bib and brace overalls within the Flamestat range. These garments use inherently flame-resistant fabrics (like aramid blends) or flame-retardant treated cotton, and they come with multiple certifications: EN ISO 11612 (flame/heat), EN ISO 11611 (welding), EN 1149 (anti-static), and often IEC 61482 (electric arc). Some models are also metal-free for ATEX spark-free zones. Despite the heavier protective fabrics, comfort is still prioritised — newer designs include stretch panels or lighter inherent-FR materials. These multinorm bibs allow professionals to meet several PPE requirements with a single garment.
Industry-Specific Overalls
Fristads also offers specialised bib and brace overalls for unique professions. White painter’s bibs, made from industrial-washable cotton or polycotton, feature extra pockets for brushes and minimal metal parts to prevent surface scratching. Food-industry bibs are designed for hygiene and withstand bleaching. ESD-protective overalls include anti-static fibres for use in electronics manufacturing, while cleanroom bibs are constructed from low-lint fabrics to minimise contamination risk. Each model is purpose-built for its intended environment, with design details tailored to meet specific job demands.
