"Smock-frock"? When has this never ever been used? These things are called smocks. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.78.77.161 (talk) 23:57, 15 February 2009 (UTC)
- A Complete Dictionary of Dry Goods by George S. Cole, W. B. Conkey company, Chicago, 1892: "Smock-Frock. A garment of coarse linen, resembling a short shirt in shape, worn by field-laborers over their other clothes; similar to the French blouse. The yoke of this garment is at its best elaborately shirred or puckered."
- Merriam Webster online:"Smock frock: a loose outer garment worn by workmen especially in Europe."

Overall edit
So, according to the article about overall, a smock may be called an overall in parts of the UK and Ireland. Is this so? Should that fact be added to this article? Paved with good intentions (talk) 14:24, 11 August 2011 (UTC)
