Leather tool bags followed, and my "teacher" advised me that if I didn't have my bags on (with tools at the ready) then I must be a laborer, so he would make me sweep or carry wood. So I wore my bags ALL the time.

Now I have two sets of bags I wear. One for trim work to hold the necessaries for that work, and another set for demo/framing/siding/cornice.

Never became one with a baker style apron, and have tried more than once. Creature of habit, I guess.

Leather tool bags you wear are what carpenters, electricians and whatnot
wear working on a construction site. Cabinetmakers working inside in a
cabinet shop generally wear "baker style" aprons, designed specifically
for the wood shop. I reckon some are cross-dressers, but it would be
somewhat rare I'd think to see the roles reversed. Perhaps a carpenter
building built-ins on site might wear a cabinet makers apron,
particularly if that was his main job.
