Artist Aprons for painting with Pockets Standard Size Denim Apron Works Apron Water Resistant (Green)

I bought this to use in my workshop as I repair and restore turntables. Since I work with cleaners, lubricants and other materials that can stain my clothing, I decided to get an apron, and this one was reasonably priced. I may also end up using this in the darkroom.The material seems heavy and durable; I have no concern for it lasting. I have two “issues” which are specific to me and probably aren’t important for the vast majority of users.First, this apron fits people who are medium to tall. I’m pretty short, so adjusting the straps to fit me took some time and effort. I may have gone about it backwards, but having someone help made the job easier.Second, the pockets could be both bigger and of a different type. I would have preferred cargo pockets, which I think are more practical. A few slots for pencils, a small ruler, etc., would also be really helpful.

This is a well-made, heavy-duty apron. The method of securing it is a little over-the-top, however. I’m used to shop aprons that are tied on with, essentially, string. This apron has quick-connect clasps for the shoulders, and a two heavy fabric strips as a waist tie. The idea is, I suppose, to adjust the shoulder straps and leave them connected with the clasps. It cost about $4.00, so the price was more than fair.
