[AT] Denim Barn Frocks

[kgw]

This one has had me wondering too---I see that quite a few of the work 
coat folks (Carhardt, Dickies, etc) still make a "Chore Coat" which is 
what came to my mind when this thread first came to mind.  Denim, hip 
length, large patch pockets, blanket lined---

A knee length shop or machinests /lab coat could have been handy in the 
barn, too...
