figgy Posted May 26, 2019 Report Share Posted May 26, 2019 Not sure what type of smock top you are on about I've worn short and long sleeved smock work wear provided on very sorry sites. Less opening game for dirt and debris to enter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

figgy Posted May 26, 2019 Report Share Posted May 26, 2019 (edited) Does it have to be waterproof? Dutchman the ones I wore were grey and looked a lot like what see hospital stall wearing but we're made of heavier material. Only pockets were on the inside. Probs not exactly what your looking for. Have a look at Yarmo online. Ill try to put a link but phone isn't having it https://www.yarmo.co.uk/catalogsearch/result/?q=Smock Edited May 26, 2019 by figgy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackpowder Posted May 26, 2019 Report Share Posted May 26, 2019 Still have one from my fisherman days, use it now when sea angling windproof and handy pockets you can reach. Here abouts they were known as barket jumpers as they were dipped in bark or tannin when nets were being treated. Blackpowder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ClemFandango Posted May 26, 2019 Report Share Posted May 26, 2019 I've got a few of the Yarmo ones. Good smocks but a bit short in the body if you are a lanky ****** like me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TIGHTCHOKE Posted May 28, 2019 Report Share Posted May 28, 2019 (edited) Hi Simon This is what I use outside in autumn, unfortunately no label inside, came from Amazon, I will look for a link.

ClemFandango Posted May 28, 2019 Report Share Posted May 28, 2019 (edited) Yarmo have discontinued their smocks? What size are you? I might have a couple in a drawer. You can have them if they will fit and I can find them. I think these are the ones I have but I died them green. https://www.yarmo.co.uk/clothing/casual-clothing/fisherman-s-smocks/fishermans-smock-button-neck-sm07/ although they seem to still be selling them online?
