Overalls were originally made of denim, and were invented in the 1890s by Levi Strauss. They were initially only used as protective clothing in work settings because of their durability, they have since become a garment of high fashion. The first overalls consisting of suspenders attached to denim pants with buttons. In 1911, the first bib overalls were made - pants with pockets sewn to a shirt with a bib and with straps over the shoulders. In 1927, Lee's developed a "hookless fastener" and created "buttonless" Union-Alls and overalls. Zippers replaced buttons. Soon after, suspender buttons were traded in for belt loops to attach over-the-shoulder straps. Although worn by some women during World War I and II, overalls were not widely worn by adult women until the late 1960s.
