It’s generally less tiring on your body, especially your back, to carry weight lower.

This is correct, and for anyone looking for proof all you have to do is inspect a hiking backpack and note why they have sturdy waist straps -- to transfer the load from your shoulders to your hips. Your legs and hips are designed for supporting the rest of your body weight all day long. Your shoulders are not. If you put a heavy load on them full time (in this case, perhaps lots of stuff in your overalls pockets) you'll quickly find this out first hand. And furthermore, a constant load on your shoulders gets borne by the entirety of your spine.

I'd agree with you, for substantial weight

What I mean is, the weight of the clothes sit on your shoulders (which is a negligible amount), which i find much more comfortable than the weight on the hips (and the constriction required to keep pants from falling off).

Also, if you have a heavy tool like a cordless drill, you can hook them on overalls (to free up your hands) and the added weight won't pull them down, unlike pants

That's why you get the kind with a button-up butt-flap and always go commando.

Yeah people are here talking in theoreticals but they're literally worn for comfort. They keep you warmer in winter and allow airflow in summer. They are easy to wear with a toolbelt, back brace, or both. And generally, you only carry as much as you need to anyway - most people in the trades don't walk around with a ton of stuff on them, they carry a bag or a bucket to where they're working and go from there. Framers and roofers are pretty much the only exception.

Speaking as an electrician who used to frame and lives in the South. Overalls have a point.

I work from home, I haven't worn pants other than Thai fisherman wrap and tie pants in like 3y

i'm not a grandpa, but i'm definitely fat and i also love wearing overalls; obviously great minds think alike. lol
