Although Dickies is a huge workwear brand here, the stuff we get is completely different from the original items in the USA. It's more geared to European style workwear which tends to have a less generous cut and be made of lighter material.
The European bib overalls in particular have a very ungenerous cut compared to the American style. Narrow legs, bib and low back in a very thin material.
Since I wear Dickies shorts a lot I thought it would be worth comparing the standard ones available here for about £15 inclusive on eBay to a pair of imported American ones which cost £38 and were bought from an eBay store called everything.hiphop. Here's a link, but note that this is a British store. If you're in America or Canada then you should be able to buy them locally.

Most notable differences are in the range of colours and cuts. The European shorts are available in one style and three colours. The American ones are available in various fits, lengths and a wider range of colours.
The pattern is completely different. The European shorts are modelled on our workwear with simple patch-style back and cargo pockets, while the US shorts are more traditional with slit pockets with internal linings. The European short has two generously sized and secure cargo pockets while the US version has one unsecured leg pocket.
If you know of a particular American brand of shorts with a really wide leg and long inseam then let me know in the comments.

This also keeps the channel independent of YouTube's advertising algorithms allowing it to be a bit more dangerous and naughty.
