So what seems to be the most common colour to dye these and is there a particular dye that seems to work better than others?
Swedish Snow Smock

Well I have ordered my smock Tuesday, so I can have a look and see how to pimp it!!! I am thinking wooden buttons and dylon in Olive Green!!!
Impatiently waiting for mine to come. Can't decide between OG or dark brown (Dylon do one called "Woodland brown") but I reckon I'm going to go with antler buttons.
Looking impressive Corso. 
Still needing to get the dye. Not sure if the local tesco here does it but one of the shortcuts is closed off at the moment so would be a bit of an out the way journey.

Yup but the nearest Wilkinsons is Edinburgh could order it I suppose, I will see what I can do next week.
If that is antique grey it has come out a lot darker than the slider I seen. I was looking at maybe pebble biege but now have worries it may come out pink.

I make my own. I have a cunning though not very health and safety conscious way of making round antler buttons...
here's an update
smocks now a rather nice antique grey - it looks a little greener than i expected but still very nice - should blend in quite nicley in the woods
still looking for suitable buttons....
I really like that, I think grey is the way to go did you use one or two boxes of dye for that?

Great minds think alike mine is in the machine as well, seems to be the longest cycle ever!

I used to have an OG denim type hooded smock/cagoule that I bought in the 80's.
My son and heir liked it so much he "borrowed" it, not that it would fit me now mind...
These snow smocks look like a good replacement...
Birthday coming up so must start dropping hints to family...

Well here is mine, i am pretty pleased how its turned out!! I have used O/G dylon and replaced the paper buttons with green one's that I had, not sure if ill keep those, but ok for now!!! And I have also given it a coating in greenland wax to help with the rain!!! All in all a very enjoyable weekend project!!!
Oh and I also put the Bushcraft UK badge on for a little good measure!!!!!

Oh, where's the pic gone? I didn't end up ordering a smock after I bought a crazy SA jacket that Corso posted about last week!
