Motto for International Overalls Day Nov 20: Make overalls the default dress code !

Now there is only 13 days left before 1st international overalls Day and one thing is clear, the primary reason why people are choosing overalls as their favorite clothing is comfort and thus the possibility of relaxing and breathing all the way down from your head to your feet, so as mentioned yesterday, why not making overalls to the default dress code, couldn’t be fun to see signs: only overalls are allowed !:), well, I really don’t want to press people something they don’t like, but then one could make a recommendation ! then it is still up to people to decide ! So let us show the people why it is so wonderful to wear overalls on ordinary days as well as to parties, like myself in the kitchen today and to a New Year party a few years ago after a glass or two of wine !:) So be ready for November 20 !!

Happy Halloween from bibprofessor – and thoughts about overalls vs business suit !

Happy Halloween from up here in dark North, and I have already given the first sweets to kids on our street coming in their costumes ! no matter that it is big commercial event ! it is in any case nice to have this event bringing some festivities to the neighborhood on an ordinary Saturday ! but I am also longing to San Francisco with all kinds of pumpkin lanterns and going to the opera this evening, where most of the audience is just as much in fantastic costumes as the actors on stage ! but now I am here in the North and that’s fine, especially when I can listen to Mission Bohemeia cd bought at my favorite cafe La Boheme so I admit, I am longing after my second home, San Francisco, where I 8 years ago discovered the qualities of overalls ! and then to this question about overalls and why all this talk about overalls ! Well, overalls are no guarantee for being liberal or hippie, in fact very conservative farmers wear overalls all the time ! but overalls give everybody wearing them an opportunity to breathe all the way down without restricting belts etc. so no matter if you are right or left or in the middle, you can stand more sturdy in overalls than something dividing you on the middle and much better insist on being yourself independent of your point of view ! and I know some would be worried and unsure to wear overalls when doing business, especially in cities, but see for instance Farmer Jones and I have done it myself when I was to cocktail party in Franceand I am now into opera business, a very stylish world, but for that I have now convinced my wife to knit a very stylish woolen jacket to go along with my black overalls ! so it is possible if you are creative ! and to finish this post I will also refer to my genetic roots ! an old merchant who wore the clothes he liked until they almost fell off him, so when some of my old friends are asking me to change style in order to look like a rich guy or a VIP, Very important person, I am saying no! and the very big quality by insisting on that is that you can survive no matter you are becoming unemployed, need to survive on a minimum etc. be happy in a simple lifestyle no matter how big or small projects you are doing or doing it with kings or people on the street ! so Evelyn give it an extra thought or a try before you buy business suit instead of overalls as mentioned in our dear friend and one of the really overalls guys Laury’s blog today, have a nice weekend and halloween!

Overalls coming into the music world as well !

now also in the music world overalls are on their way back ! and I am also now on my space, so welcome !

thoughts about why I feel happy and sort of found myself !

well, today I really feel so happy, why ? well, I believe I have found my true friends among overalls fans, Laury, Maya, Susan etc. apparently mostly farm girls and artists!, why, perhaps I’m not an ordinary man, but I happens to like down to earth simple life, to garden, make food, cakes etc. and do shopping in thrift stores finding cool and comfortable clothes, read: well worn, yeah, almost worn out clothes, especially overalls! I have not met many men with same interests ? well, perhaps I should not worry about that ! but I also like music and art in general, especially opera and all this have very little to do with science and academia and I am professor in documentation studies and just submitted a scientific article on document theory, how does all this fit together ???, well, if you earn money as professor and have time and possibilities to enjoy thrifting, food, garden, coffee etc. it makes sense, at least for me, so I am so happy to have found myself by getting connected to all the other overalls fans united in making November 20th to an international Overalls day! “national day” for the “overalls nation” ; well, in order to say that not everything is perfect, I am wondering how we honor all the guys who wear overalls every day without thinking of it as something special ! or is that at all a problem?, probably not, it is just me who is rabbling now! so I will stick to the good feelings and enjoy good life as much as possible. The photo is taken in July 2007 in front of our Danish farmhouse with my wonderful wife and our oldest son and a nephew and his friend.

passions of coffee, scones and t-shirts besides overalls !

Some have wondered if I am not interested in anything else than overalls, well, I am ! for instance I could not live (or missing important things) without good coffee, homemade scones and well worn t-shirts, being so thin that I can breathe ! I hate new t-shirts since they are so tight so it is difficult for me to breathe ! thats the same with overalls ! ha, ha, always returning to overalls somehow, but anyway, overalls works very well indeed with coffee, scones, do you want the recipe ?, and t-shirts, even if it is a problem with funny signs on them, when you wear overalls ! but then you have at least one problem to struggle with if not anything else ! and now I am going to make some new scones before my wife comes back from work !

Be ready for 1st International Overalls Day November 20th !

Now Susan, notquitejunecleaver,com, and I are ready for the big day, November 20th, celebrating overalls, so be ready to wear your overalls, get a pair if you don’t have them already or find them in your closet !

overalls jackets

one thing is the overalls, but it just becomes perfect when you also have an overall jacket suiting to your overalls, the Big Ben is from thrift store in SF (and one of my first overalls were Big Ben!) and Kansas from a Danish thriftstore, and my wife is working on a new overalls jacket for me making me entering the opera world in overalls, that is going to be fun ! and one of the really amazing qualities like notquitejunecleaver mentioned about her overalls in front of Art museum (yes, lets mix fine art and opera with overalls !), one time dark blue and then years after light faded blue, is sort of overalls patina !
