turning smock

[charliekap]

Any suggestions on where I can purchase a good turning smock. I am looking for something with a zipper (not buttons). I often turn one pen or practice for a little bit and get tired of changing clothes because of the mess. Besides my wife is looking for a christmas idea for me.

www.woodturnerscatalog.com They sell a really nice one, sometimes I even remember to put it on before covering myself in chips and shavings.

I really like this one. Half the price of the CSUSA smock, with snaps and Velcro closure. The material seems to be the same on both jackets. In my shop, zippers are a P.I.T.A. (I can fasten snaps or Velcro wearing gloves, not too easy to zip, or worse, BUTTON)

I DO use the CSUSA smock in the summer, because it is short sleeved.

I cut the sleeves down on the BSX jacket. Have to agree the material is nice, but I do prefer a zipped frock tongue to snaps. Be nice if we could get an order for the IAP zipped smocks going.

I found that big ben makes a shirt . Its a pull over yet is every roomy.

Picked up one of these for welding and found it makes an excellent smock for turning those hot blanks

The AAW has a very nice nylon one. It is light weight with front zipper, mesh back and elbow length sleeves.
