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.

Can't help your dilemma but if you decide you do want a new apron, I
bought one of these recently. It's _really_ nice. The straps are
adjustable enough to miss my pacemaker/scar (still quite sensitive),
too.

Yes, that looks similar to the Rockler apron I use now, with more
pockets. The padded straps over the shoulder is mandatory with an apron
that carries tools. The skinny over the neck ones suck.

Sure. I really like the pads on the Atlas model you posted, too, and
the closed pockets wouldn't fill with sawdust as easily. However, I
think the shoulder pads are _too_ big in the front. I think it would
sit right on my pacemaker. I think I'll pass but thanks for posting
the link!
