Round House Model 699 Men’s Overalls

What’s the biggest overall… overalls? Round House, an Oklahoma denim clothing brand that’s been around since 1903, set out and got a World Record in 2002, just in time to celebrate 100 years of outfitting Americans. The huge pair of overalls measured 7’4” long, was a size 174” waist with an inseam of 8’6”. The buttons were 8” in diameter and the suspender straps were over 16” across.

Round House has been making denim clothing in Oklahoma since 1903, not long after the railroad came through Shawnee. That’s actually four years before Oklahoma received statehood, so you could argue Round House Jeans wasn’t originally a US company, but one that got acquired by the United States. The brand was named after the Shawnee railroad repair station, which was, obviously, round –  a common shape for railroad repair/storage stations.
