Those are 'shop' coats. Keep yer fancy duds from getting dirty/dusty.
More functional than the white ones worn by 'doctors'.

I couldn't stand it. I found a pristine jacketed copy of the hardback on Alibris and ordered it. 8.99 plus shipping. Looks like a good vintage book for the collection.
I am up for a project or two. Some of those look like fun!
