I picked one up this past summer made by Liberty overalls.  Got it on-line, but don't recall the source.  Search on-line for "shop coats."

I am a retired "hogger" and i have a question for the people working in this industry.When i was working i always liked to wear a unlined long jean jacket with a hooded zipper up sheatshirt underneath.Many places in the Minneapolis St Paul area sold OshKosh,Lee,Big Mac,Key and some others but now i cannot find any of these jackets anywhere expect for buying a used from e-bay for $200.I was wondering if anyone knows where these may be available.
