Well if you could, please! It's the over the head type right? If you could see if they got it in M (without so many bloody holes) I'd be chuffed!

the one i got was in great condition apart from a couple of buttons that were different, easily changed.
I don't suppose any of you that took the pockets off have still have them?
I want to put chest pockets on but with similar material.

I forgot about this thread. I have my fur ruff now thanks to pignut. 
I have yet to attach it but been looking at ways of doing so. If it is detachable it would make the smock easier to wash. But it wouldn't look as nice sitting on the hood, I could do popper buttons as Pignut suggests.
Anyone else attached a ruff?
I fidn the smock too big to use as a general daily smock, even with the small size. Portable tent!

I've found out that the button up ones can be buttoned together to form a reversable double layered smock.
Just finished my full frontal button up one.
cost £15 from ebay.
Dyed in black (£5) , took off all the buttons and pull cords before I dyed it. Sewed on large black buttons(£2) and replaced the pull cords with black parra cord(£3). just waiting for some pull toggles(£2) for the cords and I wil be set. Total outlay of £27, not bad.
Waterproofing I will use fabsil, I know someone else who has one and they used fabsil and it works fantastic. I will be using it on my dutch polycotton smock as well.
Mine was enormous, even after a boil wash, even too big with all under layers on etc, so I took it in by about 6 inches at the back and it fits perfect. Probably went from an xxxxL to an XL which being a 38/40" chest is spot on with underlayers.
Taking it in was much easier than I thought, just followed the rear crease and pinned it where I wanted it, tried it on a few times adjusting to fit, then did a running stich up the back, misssing out the pull cord bit, then sewed the flap of material over at the bottom so it lays flat against my back.
I dont know how to post pictures on here, once I know how Ill post some.

Hi All,
Thought i'd post some more photos of my smock, since i've done some more mods!!!! I got my good old mum to put a draw cord in the middle, I have made some antler buttons, which I thought looked pretty good, and I have put a faux fur coller around the hood!!!! Hope you enjoy the photos!!!!

i ordered a size small and it arrived today. really didnt plan on it being this size! its 28" or 70cm pit to pit.anyone got a small and confirm this is definitly the smallest size? tis 3 times the size of me!
once iv got it dyed im thinking of cutting it down to size any tips? was thinking of cutting it down the centre, taking a few inches off each side then adding leather seams down each edge to make it a full button up smock. and then would probably need to cut some out the back too. the hood may prove a problem... blaah textiles aint really my thing. just wanted to confirm the size before i get the dye and scissors out!

Hey Chris measure a top that fits pit to pit should give you an idea. im usually a 34" chest so usually go for small or medium sizes but i swear this thing is like an XL. heres a couple of pictures to show you how wide it comes out. id say im short around 5'7ish?
