I don't know where you're based, but they exhibit every year at the  Axminster Woodworking show in the UK, and probably a few others too. Hope this helps.

According to that page they're made in the UK, and looking at the detail  of the collar and such compared to mine, I'd be willing to bet that  they're made by Lovell as I mentioned in my other post. Lovell  themselves have a much wider range of fabrics, colours and styles than  what is on offerthere . More specifically, all the ones on the site you  cite (hey, that rhymes!) have short sleeves, which I for one, wouldn't want.

Since that photo is of Mike Mahoney and Stewart Batty, I suspect that it is a Craft Supplies USA tan smock:  Fred Holder

It looks like the light weight model from Craft supplies. They make a heavier one that is a dark green. Nice big pockets in the back, which still seem to get a lot of chips in them. The collar has velcro and is adjustable, and the sleeves have velcro also. robo hippy

Just looked at them. Kinda spendy, but maybe it's the zipper. Anyone know  the difference between a left hand zipper and a right hand zipper?

Yep.......I think it's kinda like a left-handed screwdriver or a left-handed  monkey wrench  :-)  Barry

I think it has to do with which side the slider is placed on. We right -handers prefer it toward our good hand. Imagine the lefties do too. Kids sent me a nice fleece from Germany with a left-handed zipper which makes me look every time, because the automatic gesture don't work. Slows zipping only briefly, not as bad as putting your shorts on inside out, which can lead to real disaster as you fumble....

Just like it says.  Often, right handed is on men's wear, left handed on  women's, same for buttons.
