The best I have found so far is a welder's smock. It is open in the back
and ties like an apron. This allows you to get it snug without flapping
material for the work to grab. Has Velcro tabs at the high neck. It comes
with long sleeves which are too loose so they need to be rolled up or cut
off. Personally I think long sleeves are dangerous. The material is fairly
heavy and will take a lot of wear and tear. It reaches to your knees. With
the open back even in the Texas summers it is cooler than anything else I
have used. Costs $30 at a welder supply.

That sounds really cool. But, I have close neighbors and would probably
have to wear shirt, shorts and shoes in addition to the smock.

ROTFLMAO What a mental image this creates! Maybe we should have a contest
incorporating this into a logo for the rec.

I get the image of my neighbor's halloween costume:
she wore a hospital smock and a huge inflatable butt sticking out the
back..

Tim, I'm not a slave to fashion so I buy long & short sleeve cotton
shirts at a thrift shop for $2, rip off the pockets, wear them only for
turning (yeah, sure) and wash them separately.

I wonder if rubbing the sleeves with soap would prevent muscle cramps as
is claimed for a bar of soap between the sheets.

Amen to that. I also like old thinner turtlenecks. They reduce the
shavings down the shirt; have no loose, dangling parts; and are quick
on and off so I can get right to turning. The front is great for
wiping off sandpaper, too.

That sounds like an "old wives tale". It probably only works if you are an
"old wife".

I don't need a "huge inflatable butt".
