    Kimono Style Work Coat?

    I was watching a youtube vid on Japanese WW and the guy was wearing an awesome kimono style denim shop coat. Im wondering if anyone here knows where I can find one of these?

    Kimono? I think of kimonos as having big floppy sleeves -- not the best thing in a woodshop. Maybe you could post a screen grab from the video?

    Lost the location of the vid. It's a full cross front for coverage, with tighter sleeves than the norm and was no danger.. It was regular denim. I suppose I could substitute a Judo Gi, but I think this work coat had a pocket in front.

    I've only ever noticed folks using that kind of clothing for hand-tool work. I'd be interested in actually seeing a photo of what you are considering.

    Like a dentist coat with a wrap over front so the buttons do not hit the patient in the face? I think some cooks coats are similar.

    Like what Judo or Karate guys wear, only in denim. You're right about the hand tool guys. I think that's where I saw it.

    By the way...this guy is crazy! Watch the end, when he's fitting the drawers so perfectly, that when he pushes on in, another slides out! Insane!

    Wish I knew someone in Japan. I'll bet these things are all over the place over there.
