Turning smock needs replacement

Mine is getting old. The zipper is cranky and the Velcro at the collar has seen better days.
Which varieties do y'all favor nowadays?

I buy mine from thrift stores. Cheap windbreakers.
Discard when they get too dirty to wash.
disposable

After seeing the dentist and techs wear them, I bought some very cheap disposable lab jackets. The material will tear if caught in the lathe but I cut off the sleeves anyway. Soft collar. They are disposable but the first one I opened has been used a couple of years now. (About $2 each)

John is almost that pretty . . .
LOL

Yeah, right
- I've seen John too many times - he ain't pretty.
so pretty
John K Jordan
Hey, I resemble that remark. I certainly AM pretty.
Pretty old. Pretty tired at times. Pretty good at wood hoarding. Pretty loud when singing. Pretty clever at avoiding work.

For me the best buy in smocks for woodturning $25 even with shipping from Australia very reasonable. I've bought a couple.
