Default Nice Shop Apron

About 43 years ago my new bride made me a nice shop apron, that wore out
a few years back. Looked for a replacement and ended up with a Rockler
Apron, which is pretty nice, although dust sticks to it, it's dark blue,
which show the dust, and the pockets quickly fill with saw dust. Still,
nice enough. Today I ran across an Atlas apron, and damn this looks
exactly right for my cabinet shop. It looks like it would last forever,
so the hefty price (compared to the Rockler and other cheap aprons)
would seem cost efficient. Those looking for a nice apron might check
this one out:

I want one of these but my shop days are close to over, so fighting (yet
again) with myself trying not to buy something I no longer need, just
want.


Rockler has a nice "turning apron" no pockets to fill with dust, super
inexpensive denim blue with removable collar protector from dust.

Usually my tools are close at hand so pockets are not an issue for me.
