Round House sets Guinness World Record World's Largest Overalls: Round House Made in USA Overalls

[FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE]

October 21, 2002

 

GUINNESS BOOK OF WORLD RECORDS has declared ROUND HOUSE® BRAND MADE IN USA JEANS, OVERALLS & WORKWEAR, the manufacturers of the LARGEST PAIR OF OVERALLS in the WORLD. ROUND HOUSE® developed this EXCEPTIONAL PAIR OF OVERALLS made in the style, look, and material of classic ROUND HOUSE® overalls, to commemorate this LANDMARK ANNIVERSARY.

"Size matters!" exclaims ROUND HOUSE® owner and president JIM ANTOSH. At 17 feet, 4 inches long and an inseam of 8 feet 6 inches, rounding out at 174 inches in the waist, these contenders for the GUINNESS BOOK needed a TRUCK and THREE PEOPLE to lift them high enough to take official measurements! Specially made for the overalls were buttons that measure 8 INCHES IN DIAMETER + SUSPENDER LOOPS OVER 16 INCHES WIDE! "We decided to make the big overalls to celebrate 100 years of ROUND HOUSE®, and we wanted these overalls to be the BIGGEST IN THE WORLD." 

This ROUND HOUSE® world record introduces an entirely new category to the GUINNESS BOOK's over 40,000 world records! To qualify for GUINNESS recognition as the "LARGEST OVERALLS," the event on OCTOBER 21 required two witnesses not involved with ROUND HOUSE®, a detailed measurement of the enormous garment, and a videotaped account of the dynamic event. More than 175 people attended the event.
