I have finally finished this book.
Quite disappointing, as there's no other notable description of bibs next to the one-room schoolhouse scene (noise of walking in stiff overalls). Some few other mentionings of the smell in a shop and others. I never searched for the term "bibbed overalls". Probably all kids and men wore bibs most or all of the time, but it's rarely talked about it.
Half of the book, or in fact almost the complete book is a description of general farm work, divided up into seasons, like in many other books. Rather few stories about the brothers.
Still one of the best stories about a one-room schoolhouse (one chapter). I wonder, why this scene hasn't been made into other books or even movies.
I currently don't have a new book involving bibs and now reading a ranch book and after that re-reading older books.
