Excellent, contact kezuroukai.us and see if they can help you out with one. Otherwise, Sayuri Suzuki of Suzuki-Tool could likely help out.

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.

When in YT look at you watch history and you will find it again.

Derek,
The garment you're looking for is called a Samue. Here is a reference to it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samue

They were originally work clothes worn by monks. There is some spiritual and meditative meaning that goes along with them. I think you can find them on Amazon (US) or definitely Amazon.jp. You'll find other places that sell them online too.

I see them all over the place here in Tokyo. Also popular is a work apron that simply ties around the waist.

Good luck in your search,
Edwin

Edwin, thanks so much. Yep...that's it. And ya, I'm sure they are common in Japan. Now that I have a name, hopefully it'll be easier to find.

Probably you’d be looking for something like this: https://www.amazon.com/Edoten-Japan-.../dp/B00AEGIWC8. (Edoten is also a seller on Amazon JP; with the yen so cheap to the dollar sometimes you can actually pay less ordering from there.) If visiting Tokyo, there are a small number of specialty stores like https://www.a-kimonoya.com/ in Asakusa.

Samue are certainly more available in Japan but hardly something everyone owns. Durable, cotton, Made in Japan versions tend to run somewhat around 18000 yen or so (obviously adjust for international shipping and middlemen and such) but lighter or more “fast fashion” level models also exist at half that or less. Also not something you’d really want to wear around power tools, what with the loose sleeves and closing via cords that can dangle.
