Dustcoats, Bob, can still be easily bought here in the UK. Known as " smocks " here in the Midlands and North or occasionally as " cow gowns ", beloved by farmers, usually with a piece of baler twine around the waist..
Brown smocks were de rigueur for assistants in hardware shops as they were for factory workers, with the foreman often in a dark blue one.
