wouldnt the sleves be a bit awkward tho - you could wear a fencers jacket too but that would be a tad hot (and probably ncost more than a smock)

A bit of Velcro or elastic would sort the sleeves out if you mean dangling and catching. Shirts tend to be thin so not too hot and if only buttoned up halfway could be slipped over the head and still provide protection from bits at the front.

......or just give up and catch up on the gardening.

I just wear sandals, shorts, an Axminster smock, with nowt under it, and a fan blowing from the left side. The temps here have been well up over 30 and with the windows open it's OK. If it gets too hot I just cool it in our swimming pool 8) 8) 8)

As for stripping off and shaking it all about before I go in the house, no problem 'cause it's been a while since I've worn a shirt in or around the house for a while now..

A lot of the time i only wear underpants.The other day my wife thought it was funny when a mate and his wife came around she said he is in his workshop.
I sensed somebody was there when i heard the laughing.
Not a pretty sight.

So apart from turning practically starkers,apart for an airshield,and toe cap boots,no one wears a lightweight smock,or anything :lol: :lol:

 

[George Foweraker]

You'd still have shavings going down the neck :? Nice enough, though.

 

[George Foweraker]

The ones i have do up around the neck so they must be avalable somewhere.

I believe George is referring to surgical gowns, like this.

The disposable ones are very light, but I suppose they may not be particularly durable.
There is a polycotton one at Medisave that I believe is washable and would be likely to last better. Medisave are a decent company in my experience.

This is the answer to all your summer smock problems. As you can see it is specially air conditioned and you have all round head protection from those exploding bowls.

 

[colin macdiarmid]

what about a fishermans smock along these lines

modern ones are basically kevlar armour and bloody hot, also expensive. But would be a good protective solution. This is about £42

The smocks my dentist wears look the business

[Paul.J]

Thanks for all the suggestions everyone. :shock: :?
Had a look in a local builders merchants today at their clothing and it all is pretty heavy duty wear.
I keep saying it but i suppose it would be just as well to insulate the shop.
Does that really keep it cool in the summers hot months/days :?:

 

[George Foweraker]

Yes it makes a big differance.Mine is insulated and double glazed.
It is comfortable in summer and needs very little heating in winter.
