What Jacket / Coat Am I Thinking Of?

[Brigand]

I've got an image of a type of coat or jacket in my head but I can't think of what this type would be called. Its generally a cold weather coat, perhaps Scandinavian in origin that has no zip or buttons, a large pocket across the chest and normally a hood. I've seen some in the past that were made of canvas I think and was waxed, but I'm sure they come in different materials.

They are very similar to the Snugpak type fleece / softies in the image below, but I'd like to know if this type of coat has a specific name as I'm on the look-out for one. Does anyone know what I'm talking about?

A fisherman's smock?

A Buffalo jacket ?

Not a Buffalo as they do the fleece types (I've had them before in the military) but Googling a Fisherman's Smock led me onto pictures of Swedish Smocks, and this pic in particular is the type of coat I'm on about:



PH delivers once again, thanks for the pointers chaps, this should lead me on to finding something like that out there...

It's called a cagoule.

You used to be able to get them in heavyweight prrofed cotton. Peter Storm also used to do them in lightweight PU.

Cagoule - there's a word I've not heard or said for a long time! Googling images of them though throws up a disturbingly large amount of black, leather masks and balaclavas though, not quite sure how they are related!

I bought a navy blue smock from market in Brittany this summer. It is awesome. Warm, windproof, cosy and looks like it'll be hard wearing and long lasting. All for the princely sum of 50 euro.

Montane call their version a smock.
