Dressing gown I always though a house coat was like a coat that was worn in the 60s and 70s instead of ah apron

What in the name of all thatā€™s holy is a house coat? Dressing gown all day long.
In terms of ongoing marital disagreements, my husband and I love will never ever agree that Russia is part of Europe. The country reaches the pacific for goodness sake. This is a hill Iā€™m prepared to die on.

Dressing gown everyday, unless itā€™s a thin style
which you would wear over clothes (not PJS), and smoke a pipeā€¦ Or is that a smoking jacket :thinking::thinking::thinking::thinking::thinking::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:

House coat, but we have the same arguments. Finally glad someone actually knows what itā€™s called.

Over here from my family learnings , a dressing gown was lite and generally a touch on the sexier side . A house coat was often flannel or heavier cotton and generally longer . Oh yeah , dressing gowns were generally a bit shorter . When younger , often my woman would be flashing a bit of a cheek or panties . Or depending what mood she was in , leave the front a bit untied for some cleavage . Where I used to live the winter time temps could drop to -22f or -30c .

A butty is a sandwich aka bread with something in-between. So not comparable to roll, cob, bap etc :grinning:

A housr coat is more like an apron (in terms of wearability) itā€™s usually cotton or nylon, not as thick and is worn over your clothes to clean/wash up and is primarily to protect your outfit for the day.

It comes from a time when we didnt have access to washing machines in the home and it still wasnt particularly socially acceptable to spend all day in pjs. Women mostly wore them - yes men do too but not as commonly - as we would stay at home.

Dressing gown hereā€¦house coat sounds very old fashioned

House coat was what they were called when I was youngerā€¦they were more quilted with fabric covered buttons back in the 70ā€™sā€¦maybe it was a regional thing too?
