Shop Aprons

[bob15]

Anyone have a Roundhouse or Pointer Brand shop apron? I was thinking of getting one and stumble across these two companies which both make them in the States.

Quality is probably on par between the two, but one never knows....

I have the Mechanix brand one out in the garage somewhere. It's pretty good. Uses an adjustable snap clip.

My mother makes them for my Dad and I out of heavy denim. She did make extras that went fast in her yard sale.

My mom used to make them for me back when I did steel fabrication for a living.

You should have her make wrench rolls too.

Denim is what i like. Used both leather and denim in the past. Bought my daughter round house overalls one christmas and they were american made and nice.

I had my sister make me a couple over the years when I worked in a factory.

I haven't tried this one (too pricey for me), but I really like the looks of it:

I'll likely end up with this (looks nicer than the Mechanix with its crossed straps):

Don't you love it when you are trying to narrow things down and the opposite happens ;-)

Cheers.

The colored leather aprons will come off on your clothes. If you want leather get a natural dyed one.

I use a Groz leather apron from Busy Bee Tools and am quite happy with it.

I have a Kuny's apron. Wire wheeling prompted me to buy it so now it sits by the grinder. I use it for a lot of other tasks too.
