Apron recommendations?

[bmwpower]

As in when you are doing some quick work on some dirty stuff in your street clothes and you don't feel like getting changed.

Any recommendations?

Sweet. Looks like they are plentiful on ebay.

Maybe, but I would think you'd have a good chance of getting stuff on you when you take it off....

+1 I keep an old flanell shirt in my toolbox. If I have to get in there it has great coverage. I save the Apron for cooking out "I'll be a dirty old man until I'm a dead old man"

McMaster has one that's okay. Useful for working around machines.

I have one similar to this one; mine has only 3 pockets and no hammer hook. Have had it for over 5 years and it has held up well. I highly recommend it; this ain't a cheapie or a throw away:

These can be ordered from DuluthTrading.com.

Dickie coveralls are only around $30(Currently on sale for $16 on the Dickies website). I keep one in my shop for protecting what I am wearing. Don't even have to take your shoes off.

Yeah if you're a 48 Regular and want to look like a prisioner in an Orange Jumpsuit.
I think they're $39.99 otherwise.

At least you wont get hit by a car.

That price is for 40 reg, 48 reg, and 4Xtall. For $16 who cares what color it is in the privacy of your own shop.

Basic Coveralls (in dark blue) are $31 to $33.

I don't know what "street clothes" is, but I think you mean what I would call Sunday Best or church clothes??

I go change cause even if I wear 14 layers of coveralls and a body sized condom I STILL will somehow ruin what I am wearing. Shoot even just walking in the garage is enough to get some kind of grease or oil stain that will never wash out!

I have some OSHA orange shirts and coats and I get eyeballed at the store when I have them on. Oh well, no reason to head over to Wal-Mart with the fancy 3 piece suit huh?! I have no one to impress.

 

[bmwpower]

Actually, funny you brought up overalls cause I'd like to get some of those as well.

Orange ones might be pretty cool.

And how the frick are these things sized?!?

Street clothes is anything you wouldn't normally wear in the garage.

Yea, they're nice. I used to use them at work, too. They cost a bunch the last time I priced them.

i need some coveralls, i have the mechanix apron listed and like it, i also use a meat cutters apron, which is basically an extra long rubberized apron.

I recommend getting a good leather apron. It is good for sparks, metal spatter, and gives you some protection from acid. It will be a bit heavier though.

I've got a Sparco apron for warm weather ( <---see) and a FireHose shop coat from Duluth Trading for when it's cold and / or I'm reaching in somewhere it's hot & need arm protection
