   Eric,

   Several companies (LV, Craft Supplies USA...) sell a woodturner's smock which might fit the bill.  You're not looking for an apron, right?

   Eric,

   I probably should post this to Lataxe but thought you might get a kick out of it.  Saw it on DIY earlier this evening. 

   T'aint a long coat though.  http://www.utilikilts.com/

   Agree with disgracefull!!  When I was in Bagpipe Band it was always Regimental ;-)

   Question?  What does a Scotsman where under his kilt?        Ans.  Long hoes and Gillies! (socks & shoes to some)

   Chris,

   It's all the wifes (Mary) fault!

   See, she changed our DirecTV and I don't get to watch If Walls Could Talk on HGTV cause we don't get it anymore.  So Cool Tools was on while I was catching a quick snack (steak, baked potatoes and a tossed salad) and the host was showing 'em.

   Later I googled Utilikilt and they're made in Seattle.

   Now don't you think Lataxe would look stunning in a pretty lace one with leather pockets, fishnet stockings, ruby red HIGH heels and a leather Harley-Davidson cap!?

   Regards,Bob @ Kidderville Acres

   Thanks Bob and Eric ,Their fire hose pants are really tough and more flexible right out of the store than well washed Levis. Well made deep pockets to.

   Bob,I eschew a frock, except during the wildest bouts of evening entertainment with the ladywife, naturally. (Or rather, unnaturally).But your link reminded me of a small tale told me whilst I was a-sailing in the lochs of bonnie Scotland last month......The Highland Games are in full toss when a party of American ladees of a certain age alight from the tour bus to have a gawp. One sees Hamish in his kilt and sidles up to him, as he takes furtive yet frequent nips from his wee flask."Say, honey, what's under that skirt you got on there, huh"?"Weeell, hen, why no' steck yer wee hond up there and find oot"?Up goes the taloned amd somewhat blotchy mit to grope about."Yhewww! That's gruesome", cries the inquisitive one. (Hamish eschews the man-knicker)."Ay, why no' feel aboot fer a wee bet longer and et'll grewsome-more", husks Hamish in his best seductive "throat", as he stows the wee flask doon the sporran for "afterwards".....Lataxe the lewd.

   Lataxe,

   Your tale reminded me of a song:

   The Scotsman

   A Scotsman clad in kilt, left a bar one evening fair.

   And one could tell, by the way he walked, he'd drunk more than his share.

   He fumbled 'round until he could no longer keep his feet,

   Then he stumbled off into the grass, to sleep beside the street.

    

   Chorus: Ring-ding-diddle-iddle aye-dee-oh!

   Ring di diddley aye oh.

    He stumbled off into...etc

    

   Now about that time, two young and lovely girls just happened by.

   And one says to the other, with a twinkle in her eye,

   "See yon sleeping Scotsman, so strong and handsome built.

   I wonder if it's true, what they don't wear beneath their kilt?"

   Chorus.

   Well, they crept up to that sleeping Scotsman, quiet as could be,

   And they lifted up his kilt about an inch, so they could see.

   And there, behold! for them to view, beneath his Scottish skirt,

   Was nothing more than God had graced him with upon his birth.

   Chorus.

   They marvelled for a moment, then one says, "We must be gone.

   But, let's leave our friend a little gift, before we move along."

   The present was a blue silk ribbon, tied into a bow,

   Around the bonnie star the Scotsaman's kilt did lift and show.

   Chorus.

   The Scotsman wakes to nature's call, and he stumbles towards some trees.

   Behind a bush, he hoists his kilt, then he gawks at what he sees.

   And in a startled voice he says, to what's before his eyes,

   "Och, Lad, I don't know where you've been, but I see you won First Prize!"

   Chorus.

   Ray

   Ray & Lataxe,

   You two knew I'd have to respond dincha?

   I'm afraid I'll have to restrain mesef, for the Taunton Profanity Police would surely lock me up, if Mary doesn't beat 'em to it.

   So, I'll try a different tack.  Have either of you heard of The Most Venomous Snake in the World?

   Regards,

   Hi Bob,

   "Have either of you heard of The Most Venomous Snake in the World?"

   No, but I have a feeling we're about to.

   No flaps over pockets but these guys make awesome work cloths and this shop coat is super high quality. If nothing else check out the other stuff. For any one reading this that is large or tall they are your ticket to happiness:

   I am trying to find a pretty long coat that the teachers in woodworking used to have when I was young in scool. In the front the coats had lots of cloth to kind of "put on top of each other" so that no dust or chips could get inside..was it this?

   During the warm New Mexico summers, woodworking clothing is optional . . . as long as the shop door is closed. ;-)
