Japanese Fashion

Alright, I know that most of us are guys here, but even straight guys can wonder about the fashion of other cultures. I, for one, am one of those. *ignores the snickering*
Recently, I have been reading SZS, and I have run across two articles of traditional Japanese clothing that I should know the names of but keep failing to remember. The first is an overcoat worn in the winter indoors. For example, you see Konata waking up in Lucky Star wearing one and sitting under the kotatsu. The second is a article of clothing typically worn by housewives and those who do chores around the house; it is usually worn over a kimono or other regular clothing like an apron except that it covers the entire upper body and sometimes much of the lower body as well. Some have pockets in them. Would anybody happen to know the names of these articles of clothing?
