Any of you remember Smoking Jackets?

No - that's not a BBQ team name that I know about - I'm talking about the fancy - almost suit coats that some men would wear after getting home in the 50's and 60's?. Shortly after our marriage in 1966 my MIL gave me a beautiful one - it was red with a cool black lining. It was too nice to wear to smoke in and too damn weird to wear outside the front door! Don't recall whatever happened to it...Anyway that got me to thinking, anybody have a smoking jacket favorite for wearing when egging in cold weather? Mine is a 30 year old Chicago Bears jacket. How about you?

    Cold? Jackets? What is that all about?

    If it ever got cold I'd probably put on a pair of long pants.

    My smoking jacket is a very old product from the Eastern Wear Guard company (work cloths like Carhart).
    It has reached the smoke saturation that it is unquestionably a smoking jacket. I like the smell it has and think of it as a patina reached only after considerable use.
    They wife might not agree. :laugh:

    I have an old coat that was one of those safety-milestone gifts at work several years ago. Since I don't work for that company anymore, I don't wear the coat on a regular basis, and it has become my "grubby" work coat.

    But when it gets REALLY cold, I just roll the egg right up to my patio door, so I don't have to take more than one step outside. Since I don't do any cooks that require a lot of attention (like wokking) in the bitter cold, my "smoking jacket" really only gets worn in the late autumn and early spring. But I DO keep a pair of slip-on rubber soled shoes that I keep by the patio door, so I can slip in and out of them, and not track snow all over the kitchen. In the summer weather, I swap those out for a pair of flip-flops.
