Which is your favourite bit of gardening clothing.
Mine is the Cornish Smock, 2 good pockets, and no buttons etc. to cope
with with muddy hands and draught proof.
I always get a size larger to fit over sweaters et.
Shove them into the washing machine, and re proof after washing.

I love the look of those open patch pockets. I tend to use up old
jackets in the garden, but the pockets always have annoying flaps over
them to keep the weather out .. a real pain when you briskly reach for
your pocketed secateurs. I can't justify buying a new garden smock just
yet, so I think I'll cut off my pocket flaps for now. One day I'll
invest in what's beginning to sound like the standard urg uniform for
gardening.
