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.

OK, been thinking about this and it really looks nice. Says it's
"waxed canvas". Two complaints I have with my Rockler apron is it
attracts dust like crazy, and being dark blue, that's annoying, and
it's not particularly easy to put on. I get the crossed straps tangled
up sometimes, particularly if I don't hang it up right. The straps are
secure on your shoulders though, once you get it on. For $37 yours
looks like a winner, and might be my next "unneeded" purchase:-)

Just a thought here, waxed likely means water resistant and stiffer.

Don't care about water resistance, but dust resistant sounds good.

I do not know where you live but if you work in the heat the waxed might
feel hotter than a fabric that will breath.

I live in Pittsburgh and the temperature ranges from 100+ to -20. My
shop is heated and sort of air conditioned. If I open the door to the
upstairs, it gets the cool air from the house, but too stuffy really. I
don't generally work when it's is super hot and humid, but when I do,
it's hot with/without the cloth apron, so you are probably right.
