A smock-frock or smock is an outer garment traditionally worn by rural workers, especially shepherds and waggoners, in parts of England and Wales from the early 18th century. Today, the word smock refers to a loose overgarment worn to protect one's clothing, for instance by a painter. The traditional smock-frock is made of heavy linen or wool and varies from thigh-length to mid-calf length. Characteristic features of the smock-frock are fullness across the back, breast, and sleeves folded into "tubes" (narrow unpressed pleats) held in place and decorated by smocking, a type of surface embroidery in a honeycomb pattern across the pleats that controls the fullness while allowing a degree of stretch. ==Types of smock-frocks== * The round smock is a pullover style with an open neckline and a flat, round collar. This smock is reversible front-to-back.〔Marshall pp. 20–22〕 * The shirt smock or Surrey smock is styled like a man's shirt, with a collar and a short placket opening in the front. It is not reversible.〔Marshall p. 25〕 * The coat smock worn by Welsh shepherds is long and buttons up the front in the manner of a coat.〔Marshall pp. 28–32〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Smock-frock」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
