Yea something like that was my original thought.

If you don't mind the bulk, a PFD (personal flotation device) with good coverage would probably serve the purpose, at least until you find a more flattering option. Handy for floods too.
True, if it's thick enough, then it doesn't need to be puncture proof.

Yea, there was plenty of rain. My fence went bye bye!

Another idea might be a leather jacket with removable arms. (or even a motorbike jacket with removable arms, they are padded too) I have one I use to protect me from falls horse riding (I cant be using the horse riding armour. that's a bit embarrassing as only kids use it in the uk). I don't know if detachable sleeves is still available though. it was the fashion back in the day.
Oh, wait, it is

Edit, yes just saw the Hugsplox blacksmiths apron post, that looks a good idea.
Not as cool as a leather jacket though
True, a leather jacket would have a dual purpose of a fashion piece!
