That looks excellent. Can you take another picture showing the straps please? And we all want to know where we can buy one.

I have been thinking about making one for some time, Leather or suede would have been my first choice, but as i also have some canvas that was also in the mix. Having seen the one Blackswanwood has received I am going to order one of those, At that price it is not worth making your own.

I think you could qualify for your own postcode and still be able to fit in it Steve :lol:

That I like, especially the straps over the shoulders.
My 2 aprons - straps go around the neck and are irritating and drags my neck down.

Yes, that looks the business - especially the flaps on the pockets.
I've been using the same twin zip overalls that I use for gardening etc, but they dont have adequate pockets.

Robert, you are officially a fashion icon!
My Apron arrived on Saturday. I adjusted the straps to fit but did not get a chance to try it properly. Mrs C was impressed and remarked "Does this mean you will not bring sawdust into the home anymore!" I resisted saying probably not.
