There are lot of aprons to choose from -- $10 to $85.

So is the Lie-Nielsen ($85) just a status symbol or is it worth $85?

Being leather it would put up with a fair amount of abrasion compared to
the typical cotton apron... and gain character with use!

Leather is better for a shop apron -- but that much better?

Well, I guess you could put it in perspective by comparing a Stanley No 4 to
an L-N No 4... yeah my tuned up Stanley No 4 (read cotton apron) works
pretty well but my L-N No 4 (read leather apron) is noticeably nicer to use.
