I was one of the folks who didn't scrutinize my kit order confirmation email and got shorts instead of bibs. The shorts fit perfectly only I prefer bibs and don't like elastic digging into my waist, so ... I simply reverted to suspenders that I used to use in the '70s on my bike shorts, used a stitch removing tool to remove the stitching on the elastic band, removed the band to give 2 inches extra of spandex. Voila - I got "bibs" 8)
