On the bib of overalls are several small pockets. These are made to hold pencils, note books and watches. If you examine the bib you will find at least one button hole, often two. The purpose of these button holes was to hold the "t bar" end of the watch chain. The watch was then slipped into the watch pocket. However, often times a leather strap, piece of string or old boot lace was used instead of a chain. Those who wore overalls were, after all, hard working men who could possibly not afford a chain.
