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).

Update: Frankie & Hazel
And another update. 2 more and better pics, showing more of her bibs.
Nice cycling and also nice Baseball clothes (f,m). But I think rather few scenes.
Also soon on my Pigtails blog.
Main entry, still rating 5

Please also note my previous post.
Update: Emu’s All Live Pink Windmill Show
I've checked some few more episodes and found out the correct episode of the previous post (s2e9 (1985)). Another episode with same bibs and/or kids (song Footloose, in and outside, pic 2). But none of the clips, I found is better than rating 7-8.
Pics 1+3+4 are from a clip called "Emu's Pink Windmill Kids Splits Compilation", so unknown episodes, also showing a girl and I think boy in Roller Skates also doing a split, also a boy doing a split in Footloose. Nice gymnastics.
Pic 5 is from the song This Ole House (1982) showing an older girl sitting in dark red bibs, a girl dancing in turqouise bibs, unpictured a young girl dancing in purple bibs.
I think, I have to make even more posts. Main entry

Update: A Country Practice (1981)
I recently found this series, but I already had an entry. Probably showing the same lady, Penny Cook as Vicky not in blue but this time in tight tan, beige or similar bibs, around 24 yo in season 1. Pic 1 from season 1 (compilation, unknown episode), pic 2 from ep 58 but from the intro (season 2, 1982). Also hands in pockets (ep 112) and probably also sitting.
There are also men in tan bibs (young and old, at least in season 10). Maybe some more actors/actresses?
I still don't know all episodes. Also soon on my pigtails blog, rating ~6.
Penny Cook died in December 2018.
Main entry, currently rating 8

–Rating: 6/10
–Rating: ******
–Comment: Pic 1 showing a boy in long faded bibs, a girl in shortalls or similar, also a man in the "My Dad picks the fruit" commercial. Around mid 1980s. Unfortunately, all clips are in quite bad image quality.
Pic 2 from a 1988 Cottee's commercial showing an older girl.
Unpictured, a girl around 7 yo sitting in blue shortalls from a distance. YouTube title: "Cottee's cordial ad by GPY&R Melbourne - via Mumbrella". Maybe 1990s or late 80s?
I found this by coincidence. One clip mistitled "The Winds of Jarrah trailer" but is just a collection of commercials.
Very interesting. There are more Cottee's commercials, mabye some more showing bibs?
Rating 6. Other commercials, list rating up to 6

–Comment: At least this girl, obviously Mouche Phillips in tight, light blue bibs. Pics from s1e1. During research for "The Winds of Jarrah" and Mark Kounnas (see previous post), I found some clips on aso.gov.au. Pic from the 3rd, Vietnam flashback clip.
Quite rare as well. There's at least a VHS but OOP.
Can't say much more, yet. But seems very interesting.
Rating~6-7 for now.
She also appeared in The Hounted School (1986) and Touch the Sun: Princess Kate. Not in bibs in The Hounted School. But probably she (or another teen girl) and woman in bibs in Princess Kate. Entry coming soon, I just have other Touch the Sun films.

Pic 2 is from A Country Practice (ep 58, s2e44, 1982) pic 2 is from "Ginger Meggs" (1982) obviously showing him on left. Used for better identifcation.
Update: I now have pics from this movie. Pic 1 and at the update.
Pic on IMDb and several pics on ozmovies.
Written by Bob Ellis ("Fatty Finn").
Movie is very rare but there's a VHS. After finding "The Hounted School (1986)" for my sailor suit blog (unknown#25) and recently buying that DVD, I searched for more movies with Emil Minty (the younger film brother in The Winds of Jarrah).
According to the screenshots probably rather few bibs scenes. Maybe also others.
Rating ~6 for now. I haven't found any stream nor trailer. Adding it to my rare movies list.

Update: Der Typ, 13 Kinder & ich
And another update. But I haven't checked the complete film. Most or all scenes at the end. The bibs turned out to be ripped-off shortalls. Few full views and probably few scenes in total. I first wasn't sure if this is a girl or boy shown on my old pic.

–Rating: 7/10 ?
–Rating: *******
–Comment: Moritz A. Sachs in large, dark blue (but not raw denim) bibs in ep 205 (year 5). At least around 3 scenes in this episode but probably rather few scenes of him in total. Also sitting. Another scene in ep 136 (headshot only, sitting at a table). Nice bowlcut in ep 295 (but not in bibs). Probably some more scene in other episodes. And old man in blue bibs in ep 245, a young man in tan bibs in ep 566.
I found this by coincidence during research for a Lederhosen series.
I don't have the time to check more than 1500 episodes. I previously found some girls and women.
Rating ~7-8 for Klausi.
Main overview entry, previously rating up to 7
/2012/05/26/lindenstrase/

–Who in bibs: Trevor ~12 ?
–Available on DVD: yes
–I own: no
–Bib occurrence: low-
–Rating: 5/10
–Rating: *****
–Comment: One barefooted boy in faded bibs in a super 8 segment (hence the quite poor image quality) at 17 minutes. Hunker down, sitting but from a distance and headhot. Brief scene. Not sure about his name, probably Michael Hall D'Addario.
I also have rechecked part 1 and still haven't found the girl in shortalls. Either a very brief scene, or deleted scene or publicity pic only.
Good movie but brief scene. Also good bedroom scenes.
For the bibs rating ~5.

Rating at least ~5-6 for now.
Update: I saw a tiny pic of Lisa-Marie Koroll in a TV magazine. Sitting in light blue

Also men (dads), one in blue working and one in olive fishing bibs in ep 38. I have briefly checked half of the episodes. Produced in 2008 ?
Has recently been aired. Also soon on my Pigtails blog.
I don't like this season. Previous 2 are much better (other actors). Alternate title: Wie erziehe ich meine Eltern? - Von Vätern und Töchtern. Another guest stars from Schloss Einstein (eg the red haired boy) but not in bibs.

Book 88: Michele R. Webb: My Folks - And The One-room Schoolhouse - A Treasury Of One-room School Stories Shared By Capper's Readers
A general description on page 2, that boys wore bibs and heavy shoes and one scene on page 35 set in 1928 that a boy was proud of the bibs from Sears Roebuck (I think on Christmas).
Co-author Diana J. Edwardson Persell. Capper Press (and Grit). 1990s. There are also other books in the "My Folk" series (partly other authors). Most or all set in Kansas during the Great Depression as well. Most are also about bibs but I haven't found notable scenes. In Back to the Basics, a preschool-boy talks about bibs on the floor and that he didn't wear underwear. 1 or 2, I can't find on Google books others not on Amazon.
Update: I missed the part, that the shoes squeaked when walking. (Not at school but maybe there as well later). I had the noises of the overalls fabric when walking (search stiff pant legs, one-room schoolhouses, tag sound).

Update: Torch Song (1993)
Previously, I had a post but haven't found any bibs scenes of Alicia Silverstone and so just had a headshot without bibs.
I now found one brief scene at the very beginning of the movie.
Not bad, but for the brief scene still rating 4-(5).

–Who in bibs: Poppi ~16 ??
–Available on DVD: yes *
–I own: no
–Bib occurrence: medium+ ?
–Rating: 6/10 ?
–Rating: ******
–Comment: I only had an entry about the 1997 series (with other actors), but found this for my Pigtails blog (soon to be updated with another girl).
Not sure about her name, maybe Olivia Hallinan. But is she that old 18-19 yo? Or probably filmed earlier?
First I only found a brief clip about the score on YouTube (pic2 and considered rating 4), but I think much more scenes and bibs are probably baggy. Pics 1+3 from the trailer like on IMDb. I still have to check the complete movie.
English titles: "The Knickerbocker Gang: The Talking Grave" and "Snoopers". Aka Die Knickerbockerbande - Der Film. Available at least on an Austrian VHS (OOP) and an US DVD Snoopers. Not to be confused with the series or book cover also containing screenshots from the movie. I haven't found a German DVD nor a stream online. Does anybody know it?
Rating at least ~6 for now.

Update: The Fields (2011)
2 better pics of this one. Briefly checked at high speed. Bibs are faded and not that dark as in the old pic (main entry, pic 2 at 1h09). Fewer scenes than assumed. He mainly wore regular jeans. Nice rear view, being embraced at 35 minutes. Also lying on the stomach, I think in bibs at the end in front of the corn field. Probably no other scenes in bibs there.
Could be much better. Nice setting. But few scenes and I don't like at all this actor and curly hair.
Main entry, still rating 3

Book 87: Robert Burch: Tyler, Wilkin, and Skee
The youngest boy is 7yo. Obviously they don't like wearing bibs as the town boys at school wear pants. Also described that they should not wear the dirty bibs as mom ironed clean ones. And new pairs as present on Christmas.
Robert Burch wrote some more books, most with same time and setting. But maybe less of interest (to me), at least 2 with tomboys as main characters (Queenie Peavy and 2x Ida Early) but also have boys in bibs (at least on the covers). I might check the other books later.
The 1987 TV movie "The Incredible Ida Early" also has at least a teen girl in bibs (rating 5). Still on my "rare movies list". I must have seen a screenshot long time ago and have to search for it. I thought of a milking white girl, but it's from "The Sweetest Gift" (rating 6). I think a white teen girl in the novel (or cover) but a black actress in the movie.
As usual more infos later when book received.
Update: Now completely read. Quite poor. No more notable scenes. At the end, the 2nd youngest putting a dollar bill in his top pocket. 3 brothers and the youngest one is smart. Good idea. But could have been much better. In Soup there are 2 friends. Much better book series.

–Comment: In today's Morgenmagain (Das Erste) there was this brief scene of a blonde lady singing in blue bibs. It's from the (2nd ?) rehearsal party yesterday. Not sure about her name, but probably is Carlotta Truman from German band S!sters.
She is also shown wearing black bibs (or shortalls) and faded and other bibs with one strap down in publicity pics (and some vids like "Justin Bieber - Love Yourself | Carlotta Truman (16)" on YouTube, two years ago).
She probably don't appear in bibs in the real final show. Maybe also others?
Sorry, I don't watch the complete shows anymore.
Interesting, but very brief scene.
But rating ~5-6.

Rechecked once more and one better pic. Bibs appear hickory striped to me. But unsure. Fewer scenes than assumed. And most scenes are dark lit and/or from a distance. So rather 1 or 2 good scenes.

–Rating: 6/10 ?
–Rating: ******
–Comment: And another IPTV/PBS post. First, I found some segments on YouTube titled "Rural Midwest Farm Life During the Great Depression", a collection of 11 short clips and so wasn't sure about the title. Later I found the complete movie. Mainly showing b&w photos. Not sure if some or all are from FSA/OWI (loc.goc). Boys and also girls in bibs.
Pic 1 from "Farm Life in the Early 20th Century: Avoiding Waste". Nice teen boy on the right. At 21 minutes in the movie. Pic 2 is from the complete movie. Pic 3 is from "Threshing Machine: Farmers Working Together. Pic 4 is from "Taking Care of Farm and Family During the Great Depression.
I only have checked the movie briefly and might have missed some scenes. Half of the movie showing later interviews in color.
Rating ~6-7 for now. Nice pics but few in color and few moving scenes. Most or all bibs are faded and/or ripped. No entry on IMDb.
