work coat?

[Russell]

Can anyone recommend a good warm work coat that can handle grinding sparks and wont tear instantly? The yanks seam to have some decent looking ones but ive never seen anything like that over here. Everything I get seams to fall apart in no time and has the same size chest but bigger belly size as you go up L,XL and so on.

If you want a tough yank coat it's the Carhartt chore that the ice road truckers and axemen seem to wear
I wear Carhartt trousers and they are inderstructable even from grinding and welding sparks

Some of the reviews on American sites reckon they are getting over 10 years out of those chore coats being worn by pipe welders and the like so must get a fair bit of abuse.
The double fronted trousers are the absolute dogs danglies of trousers. Stiff but I think they are cut from the same fabric as old scout tents they are that thick

proper old canvas work wear get 'em oiled up a bit and'll be pretty waterproofed too ... or could give 'em a waxing like the ol' Belstaff bike wear

This is what I use- zips piss me off as when they get covered in mud they jam- so this has been a really good coat- I cut the stupid hood off though. Warm, waterproof and tough can't fault it.

After years of crap coats that fit poorly I tried this because it is 'full swing' which means you can lift your arms in the air without the jacket restricting you.

I've ordered a carhartt Sherpa so fingers crossed its a goodun

Ok you'll laugh but if your not fussed about colour get yourself down to a decent army surplus shop...stuff getting harder to get but bang fir the buck it's by far the best.

But then again get yourself a carhatt and baseball cap and voila ....instant USA youtuber cred
