I read a lot of reviews of this before buying it. I almost let them dissuade me from the purchase. Im glad i didnt. This is a heavy weight canvas. Mine arrived on a winter evening and i brought it inside and it was a frozen stiff square. Warmed up a bit it unfolded, but as other reviews have showed if you crumple it up it kind of holds its form; but once you get it on and are moving about it conforms a bit more. however the its robust enough to also feel like your protected from some of the dangers of shop activities, flying debris, sparks, nails that i didn't nail in all the way. im 6'2" and the fit is good. The pockets are stiff but you can get all of what ive need to get iin them so far. the pencil pocket is well placed so as not to feel like i might jam my face if i look down to steep. The color is fine and as advertised, i got the dark brown, but i usually work naked so the apron is not the first thing my OF viewers notice ;) I would give this 5 stars but: the straps are, soft, but they do not match the over all quality of the rest of the apron. they will surely be the weakest link in the chain. However they still work and once you dial in your fit its all good. I did have to knot the waist strap back on its self because it would slip and when bending down the strap would fall down to my lower legs and standing up quickly (ok lets face it NOT quickly , but in a determined fashion) you can feel sort of straight jacketie for a second. I look forward to wearing this thing to its death, though ti will probably out live me.

This is made very well and is great for welding also you'll never wear it out .

keeps sawdust out of my pocket. with this i dont loose my pencil and tape measure.

No tying straps - easy to use buckle. Strong protection while I working in my wood/hobby shop in the basement. Seems a bit stiff for now, but I feel it will soften up over the many years I expect this apron to last. Some have mentioned it is heavy (as I expect waxed canvas would be), but I don't feel it while wearing it. When the package arrived I thought "yea, this is heavy", but with the shoulder pads and comfortable cross backstrap you don't feel the weight. I have a bit taller than average spine and somewhat larger than average belly. Adjusting the back cross up worked for me. I don't notice the weight and the apron doesn't restrict my movement. Pros: Easy to use buckle Padded shoulders Lots of pockets Durable waxed canvas Lower price than most Cons: none

Strong material. Fits well. Should last a very long time.

I should have bought this years ago. Pros: super heavy fabric, this is the only one I will ever need. Though I think it will take some time to break in. Adjust easily, one strap adjusts it all perfectly Plenty of pockets Excellent value In all seriousness, it really does keep the sawdust off.. Cons: I need to figure out how I remember to use the pockets, I keep just setting pencils tape measures etc down and misplacing them rather than using the pockets.. duh!

This apron is not cheap fabric. very stiff and durable fabric. My only complaint is the upper pocket could use a snap or a center stitch because it is pretty wide and things fall out when bending over.

I use these to of course keep my clothes cleaner. Use them when I’m servicing fishing reels and working on engines, etc. please note these are very stiff, but they do loosen up, I think they are waxed, but I’m not sure. They def aren’t made for cooling in a kitchen but will work when you’re firing up a whole pig to eat.

Got this as a gift for my home workshop. If I had bought this, I would have sent it back. At 5’6”, this apron is too long for me and falls below my knees even with the straps adjusted to make the apron ride as high as possible. So, this really doesn’t fit anyone shorter than me and is probably better for someone 5’8” and above. This wouldn’t be a big problem except the apron is incredibly stiff - partly due to the 24 oz fabric but mostly because the apron is impregnated with a crazy amount of greenish, petroleum smelling (when heated) wax. The stiffness makes it awkward to walk or bend over. I’ve washed it twice - once on the extra hot sanitize cycle for two hours. Then I took a hot iron to it using paper towels underneath the apron and on top to absorb the melting wax. Finally, I used a heat gun to heat up the fabric and blotted away the wax when it boiled up. (Don’t try this at home!) It’s a little better but still too stiff. Next I’m going to cut a vertical slit in the bottom panel of the apron so it’s easier to walk and bend over. If it’s still too cumbersome, then I’m going to cut off the bottom panel. If you’re taller, don’t move around a lot or need to bend over, then this very sturdy apron might work for you. The quality seems good. It has a decent number of pockets. Everything stress point and attachment point is riveted. The canvas is very thick. Some people have had trouble with the straps. For me, one side of the shoulder straps would not stay in place and the buckle for the waist back constantly slipped. I discovered that the prong side of the clip had the webbing run thru upside down. Remove the webbing, turn the buckle over and then rethread the webbing through the buckle. It should work fine. I also did not like that the webbing for the shoulder straps and the waist belt were one piece. Every time you unclipped the waist belt, the shoulder strap positions would change. So, I adjusted the shoulder straps to where I wanted them and then tied the webbing from each shoulder strap into the metal waist grommets. This permanently fixed the straps in my preferred place and makes it much easier to put on/take off. With all these issues - the apron is still very sturdy. It is well sewn. Shoulder straps are comfortable when finally adjusted in place and I am sure this apron will outlast me. And at $19 - it’s a good price IF you’re willing to deals with the stiffness and heaviness.

Just what I was looking for. My old work apron finally gave out and needed to be replaced. Heavy duty apron, very stiff when you get it. Takes a few days of wearing it for the fold creases to work out. The straps are overkill for what I need; I will probably rework them, simple loop to go around my neck and belt at the waist. I really don't need the cross-shoulder straps. All I will keep in the pockets are gloves and a couple of marking implements. The loops for the hammers should be wider and maybe slightly heavier material, with 2 rivets on each side of the loops. I paid $20 for it, but it would still be worth it for $10 or so more. Happy with purchase.

I replaced an old Craftsman cloth apron with this one because the old one was hard on my neck and upper back muscles. This one is somewhat better since it distributes the load to my shoulders. Offsetting this improvement though is the stiff nature of the apron itself and the frustrating adjustments of the shoulder harness. I was able to adjust the harness so that the apron rides higher and the snug fit of the bottom back strap alleviates the stress on the shoulders but it is still a relief to remove the apron. The stiff fabric can be irritating at times when it drags against the work bench or catches your clothes when its hanging on its nail as you walk by. The stiff fabric makes it difficult to get items out of the lower pockets if you are wearing gloves. Other than those things, it is worth the money. It is hardy and provides good protection from table saw projectiles if you forget to stand out of the line of fire. - i

A NICE QUALITY APRON BUT, THE STIFFNESS IF IT PERSISTS WOULD MAKE THIS A DIFFICULT PURCHASE TO RECOMMEND.

very heavy canvas. great value for the price

This apron is tough. I will need to break it in but it looks like it will last a lifetime. NOT cheap china crap. You can pass these down to your grandchildren. I cant say enought about customer service also. MADE IN AMERICA!!!!

I've been wearing this 5 days a week for about a month now working as a machinist. It's comfortable to wear and built very heavy duty. I like the buckle on the back for getting it on and off. Someday if I ever wear this out I will buy another one. Thanks

For me it was a little heavier and longer than I needed. I folded back the lower part and created another pocket which I sometimes use. I wanted something to use outside on the job site and in the summer it is too heavy/warm. I use it for some jobs but still revert back to a tool belt that often dumps nails when sitting down.

Plenty of pockets. Comfortable to wear. Good value for the money. Would buy again.

Item was as described but started falling apart after about two weeks.

My husband really liked it it saves his clothes from being ruined

I just received the apron. The stitching for the pen/phone pocket wasn't stitched right. Im hoping that the stitching was properly done on the rest of the apron. It looks good and it makes me look like I know what I'm doing. Update I spoke to the seller and got a replacement. The new one looks better. No stitching issues. Thanks!
