OK, pros and cons. Long and lean is one of my favorite cuts in Gap jeans going way, way back, so the overalls in that cut were an intriguing proposition. I bought the petite L (I wear a 31S in jeans). The inseam is great, maybe even a scoche long. No issue there. I'm 5'8 and long torsoed, and the petite cut still has a low crotch line so they bag out a bit. I completely missed in the photos and description that there's a side zip instead of buttons. I also completely missed that said zipper comes well above the waist. If you look at the profile pic of the model, you'll see that the top of the zipper is almost at her elbow, so if you have a belly at all, that corsets the fit tight across the abdomen, and if you happen to wear overalls at home with a t-shirt and no bra and you're a C cup or greater with any kind of gravity situation, you're mashing your chest when they're zipped. Now for the back -- it's a neat concept, but if you are narrow-shouldered/small-framed, the straps are going to slip. The denim itself is a nice weight, not too heavy or light. Weirdly my legs were itchy after trying them on, so you probably want to wash before you wear. I got these half-off plus Gap Cash so they were an actual steal, but even so, I'm not sold on keeping them. YMMV. If you're looking for looser and different in overalls, check out the horseshoes instead.

Comments about Long & Lean Overalls

These overalls have an odd fit. There's a side zipper. I have a long torso so I ordered a tall. They are long torso friendly. They aren't bad looking they're just meh!

I am 5'11" and wear a 14 and have been on a search for the perfect overall that is flattering. I was so excited to see this when it showed up online. I ordered an xlarge tall as I figured it was a slimmer cut. It was long enough and SO flattering, but it has a side zipper that goes from hip to up above waistline. I just could not zip it all the way by myself. I tried pulling them up with the zipper up and it's too high/snug to get over my hips. It really needs to be unzipped to pull them up. I sent them back and loved them enough to order an XXL tall, which I never get. I could slip them on no problem with the zipper up, but they were way too big and no longer flattering. If you always have a friend, spouse or partner around who can help you with the zipper, they are the cutest, most flattering overalls I have ever found, but no way I could ever use the bathroom, in fear of not having a buddy around to zip me back up!

I ordered these in a small (which is what the size chart said would be correct according to my measurements ) and they won't even zip (there is a zipper on the side). I have the horseshoe overalls which are slightly too big in the small. They look like they might be cute if they fit?
