Which is better for actual work?

The Berne. Stretch denim, an adjustable waist, a zippered multi-tool bib pocket and a tape measure opening are built for bending and carrying tools. The PLNOTME has no stretch and only basic pockets.

Is the Berne worth $159 over the $60 PLNOTME?

If you wear them to work, yes: the stretch, adjustable waist and tool pockets are the difference. For occasional fashion wear, the $60 PLNOTME covers the look for far less.

Which fits curvier or shorter frames?

The PLNOTME comes in XS to XXL with a 24.4 to 25.9 in. inseam, better for shorter legs. The Berne lists a 29 in. inseam and a 22 in. hip, so check measurements before buying.

Which is cooler in summer?

The Berne. Its 7.9 oz. washed denim is light and stretchy, and buyers say it stays comfortable all day in heat. The PLNOTME is medium weight with no stretch.

Do the PLNOTME overalls stretch?

No. The fabric is 69% cotton, 15% polyester, 13% viscose and 3% modal with no spandex, so expect a firm, loose fit that doesn't give.

The Berne's cotton-poly-spandex denim with washed finish is built as workwear and should hold up to repeated wear. The PLNOTME is a fashion piece; its viscose and modal blend is softer but less abrasion-resistant.
