This is my personal blog / database about Bib overalls in feature films and TV series. It's my first blog. I collect informations, trailer videos, low-res images and personal comments/ratings. This blog was created in 2011. From 2012-2020 on Wordpress.com and now I'm back. Many links are wrong but exist (blog search).

Rating 5.

Update: La pietra di Marco Polo
After having found this series more than 2 years ago (previously unknown series on my sailor suit blog), I now have briefly checked the first half of the complete series. I first considered buying the DVD box (which is still quite expensive after one year of release), but I luckily found a stream before.
The 6 or 7 yo main character Adi probably (nearly) always wore the beige bibs, but mostly with a jacket and a woolen cap. I haven't noticed anybody else in bibs. (But it's possible that I missed some, as there are many supporting actors in some episodes). Some quite good sitting scenes. Bibs appear much lighter in the sun.
Also some few other scenes of interest like Judo scenes (ep 14), shirtless scenes, Basketball scenes (grown-ups), and nice bedroom scenes (rating 6 on my other blog). Some handsome, older boys, but not in bibs (like Sebastian, pics 1+3 on the left).
Still rating 4 for the young and small boy. The image quality is probably not very good. The streams even worse. But interesting series and location.
Pic 1 from ep 13 or 14, pic 2 from ep 13, pic 3 from ep1,

Skylark (1993)
Hallmark Hall of Fame drama
–Year: 1993
–Year in film: 1910s
–Country: USA
–Who in bibs: Caleb ~10, woman, men
–Available on DVD: yes
–I own: no
–Bib occurence: low
–Rating: 3/10
–Rating: ***
–Comment: One young lady in beige bibs at 1h03 and also men in beige and faded blue jeans bibs. Also a boy in beige bibs but brief scenes at the beginning only. Probably the same redhaired boy (Canadian Christopher Bell) who appeared 2 years earlier in part 1 of Sarah, Plain and Tall and 6 years later in Winter's End. Not sure about the lady. Is this Glenn Close?
I have recently found this movie, which is part 2, one of the last missing from my Hallmark list.
Unfortunatley, only few good scenes. The boy mainly wore pants with suspenders.
Rating 3 only.

Update 2: Wind at My Back – Season 5
I now have completely checked season 5 (most scenes). As said, very few (but good) scenes. Mainly in episode 8 (pics 1-3). I think the only episode of Fat in bibs. So probably not worth buying the DVD. Fat is older and very tall, almost like Maisey.
Inside, the bibs of Fat appear raw denim but I think, it's the same pair as in pic 3 and in the season 5 main entry. Also close-up front view but briefly. Pic 3 also showing again Maisey in flowery, non-jeans bibs.
Pic 4 is from ep. 10 and showing another teen boy or young man, next to some other men in bibs, working in the mine.
Unpictured, the same teen boy in ep 8, I already have in the 1st update, pic 3 (rear view, this time outside), and also the teen girl in simple blue bibs with suspenders in ep 11 (pic 4 of the update). But again few and brief scenes and mainly headshots or from a distance.
Bibs appear not that baggy. Nice scenes of Fat. But still rating 5(-6) due to the few scenes. Best for me is still season 3 (for Fat and Maisey), rating 7.

Maybe a quite interesting movie. Bibs aren't that bad, but for this very brief scene rating 2-3 only. I found it by coincidence on YouTube under the Spanish title Manuel, el hijo prestado.

Update: Wind at My Back – Season 5
I have briefly checked episodes 1-7 of season 5. I haven't found any scenes of Fat in bibs, maybe the 1st appearance in ep. 8. But it's possible that I missed some scenes. Maisey in non-jeans flowery bibs. Some supporting actors, especially in ep. 4 (pics 2-4) including a teen girl and a thin teen boy at school, both also front view. Girl at least from a distance, boy at least headshot.
Pic 1 showing Fat in ep.3 probably wearing an apron. He looks much older and mainly wore pants with suspenders and sometimes even a tie.
Pic 5 showing a very young boy, around 4 yo in ep. 7 also being lifted up.
I'm currently rewatching season 1, but I don't have much time. More updates of seasons 1, 2, 4 and 5 coming later. Rating 5-6 for the scenes pictured. Main entry, rating up to 8

Update: Kühe, Käse und drei Kinder
I have briefly checked this on the 3sat mediathek. There's also the mom in bibs, milking in black or dark grey bibs (red bib) and I think at the end in dark blue-non-jeans bibs (but with a jacket) but I think very few and brief scenes.
Also one of the boy in another light green bibs. And dad helping him into the light green coveralls.
And few scenes of the 8 yo girl in bibs. She also wore blue/green coveralls next to the red ones.
So some more bibs scenes than assumed, but few good scenes.
Rating 3 is probably correct or even 2-3. Interesting setting and plot though. But kids are too young.

–Comment: At least Emmanuel Lewis, pictured in
On the left is Heather O'Rourke who only starred in 3 episodes (probably not in bibs). Soon on my pigtails blog, rating ~7-8 and my bedroom blog, rating ~3.
Originally, I searched for Chad Allen series and found this by coincidence. Another interesting guest appearance is Jonathan Brandis in s6e9 (probably no bibs either).
For the young boy, rating 2-3 for now only. But I assume other actors and might be a much higher rating.
A similar series is Diff'rent Strokes (rating 5).

–Rating: ***
–Comment: Some boys and girls in bibs but mainly some very young boys/kids and toddlers and also at least one man. Also a kid (girl ?) in raw denim bibs (I haven't found any other scene of this) and kids riding. Also a young boy wearing a Cowboy hat. Pics from song "Old MacDonald".
Another song clips, I recently found on YouTube.

Club der roten Bänder – s3e9
The final 2 episodes have been aired yesterday. Again extremely touching.
One scene of the female chef doctor (40 yo Julia Grafflage) in dark blue bibs, outside and inside, I think gardening before. Also fully shown but mainly side view. Scene at around 30 minutes.
I don't like this character of a stric doctor. But bibs are great. Unfortunately one, rather brief scene only. But better than the little girls.
So rating ~5-6.
Main entry, previously rated 3

Update 3: Kidsongs TV Show - boy, women, corduroy
I've just checked the official Kidsongs YouTube channel and I found several good clip, new to me. Mainly from the Kidsongs TV show (so additional scenes in the studio not contained on the regular DVDs). I wonder, how much is still to discover. More pics later.
Pic 1 showing an older boy in blue bibs and a jacket. There are 2 boys with the same jacket, maybe the other wearing bibs as well? Pic from clip Jingle Bells - Deck the Halls - Kids Christmas Songs. He also appeared in the other Christmas clips. But I only have checked it very briefly. Maybe also snow bibs?
Pic 2 showing a girl in long, light green corduroy bibs (one strap down, also fully shown) in When I Grow Up - Put On a Happy Face - Policeman Cowboy Baseball Songs. Another girl in peach shortalls might be corduroy (other episode, coming soon).
Pic 3 showing some young ladies (or older teen girls) playing violins in light blue bibs in We Are Family - Kids Learn Community Service - Dancing Kids.
I also found girls cycling in shortalls, teen boys, men and a nice handstand scene (boy+girl). The new clips have a good image quality (also the great hickory stripes clips (Locomotion, Little Red Caboose). Also an update on my shiny shorts blog.
Please also note my last post (Christmas List).

List 59: Christmas movies with overalls
This is a list of all "Christmas movies" existing here, showing people in overalls.
Please note that not all movies are plain Christmas movies and might have a minor Christmas plot and bibs are rarely worn on Christmas Eve. Several movies are set in the 1930s. Some few just have snow bibs or similar. The rating is for the bibs scenes and not neccessarily for the movies. Probably, there are many more, especially in TV series.

Update: Wind at My Back – season 3
As announced, I have completely watched season 3 at regular speed. Some more good scenes but of course, I already had the best scenes.
Pic 1 from ep 29 at 28 minutes, a lady touching Fat's bib or even pressing him against herself.
Pic 2 from ep 31 at 10 minutes showing teen girl Maisey in tight bibs without a jacket. Also great rear view but very similar like in the season's 3 entry.
Pic 3 from ep 31 at 4 min. showing Fat running in bibs and boots (rear view). Scene directly after the fishing scene (story 23).
Pic 4 from ep 31 at 24 min. showing Maisey in I think non-jeans blue bibs. Also headshot. And also showing Hub in light yellow sport shorts (also others and front views) but unfortunately not shiny fabric these days.
Unpictured: another great scene of Fat walking in bibs in ep 30 at 24 minutes front view with jacket, but that is very similar like in the season's 3 entry. No more notable other scenes of Hub.
