[AT] Denim Barn Frocks

[Rob Wilson]

Pardon my ignorance but what in the world is a frock? Is it anything like a
barn coat?

While going thru some of my late father-in-law's clothing, my MIL ran onto
an old blue denim long barn frock. I hadn't seen one of these in years,
altho they were once SOP for many farmers and ranchers. I still can vividly
recall the ones my Dad & Granddad wore.

A web search revealed that apparently no company currently makes them. I
realize that Carhartt & Dickie have pretty much taken over that line of work
clothing, but was sadden to see those old frocks have apparently gone the
way of steel-wheeled tractors.
