The bibs of the period did not have pockets on the bib though.

What type of fabric was used?

[St. George]

Nor were they commonly worn.

Bib overalls were a sort of badge of the railroad worker, and that'd've been the guy on the train - not the gandy dancer.

Vaya,

Scouts Out!

From the back bib-overalls looked like pants with suspenders.  The strapes in the back were not a wide Y like they are today.
A guy in our Posse made himself a pair of authentic 19th century overalls, earning himself the nickname/allias, "pig farmer."

Bibs are listed in the '95 Wards cataloge but do not show a picture.   Does anyone have a picture source?

Here are a pair that are authentic for the Civil War period and i would imagine later:

Scroll down underneath trousers.

If memory serves me correct, PAST PATTERNS has a pattern for these.
They are quite simple and as mentioned before they do  not have the Y suspender in the back and they have no pockets.

The Army had overalls to be worn while on stable duty made of plain canvas, from around 1875 or so. I'll see if I can dig up a pic. Again, not like the modern overalls.
