Kimono Style Work Coat?

[Derek Arita]

I was watching a youtube vid on Japanese WW and the guy was wearing an awesome kimono style denim shop coat. Im wondering if anyone here knows where I can find one of these?

[Jamie Buxton]

Kimono? I think of kimonos as having big floppy sleeves -- not the best thing in a woodshop. Maybe you could post a screen grab from the video?

Lost the location of the vid. It's a full cross front for coverage, with tighter sleeves than the norm and was no danger.. It was regular denim. I suppose I could substitute a Judo Gi, but I think this work coat had a pocket in front.

When in YT look at you watch history and you will find it again.

Derek,
The garment you're looking for is called a Samue. Here is a reference to it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samue

They were originally work clothes worn by monks. There is some spiritual and meditative meaning that goes along with them. I think you can find them on Amazon (US) or definitely Amazon.jp. You'll find other places that sell them online too.

I see them all over the place here in Tokyo. Also popular is a work apron that simply ties around the waist.

Good luck in your search,
Edwin

Edwin, thanks so much. Yep...that's it. And ya, I'm sure they are common in Japan. Now that I have a name, hopefully it'll be easier to find.

Been there...done that.

I've only ever noticed folks using that kind of clothing for hand-tool work. I'd be interested in actually seeing a photo of what you are considering.

[Bill Dufour]

Like a dentist coat with a wrap over front so the buttons do not hit the patient in the face? I think some cooks coats are similar.

[Derek Arita]

Like what Judo or Karate guys wear, only in denim. You're right about the hand tool guys. I think that's where I saw it.

[Derek Arita]

OK...this guy's wearing something very close to what I originally saw..https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uqw6XHcAQIc

[Derek Arita]

By the way...this guy is crazy! Watch the end, when he's fitting the drawers so perfectly, that when he pushes on in, another slides out! Insane!
