What are you using for material, leather, canvas?? Did you just take apart one you already had for a pattern or design one for yourself??

I'm cheap and hard to please so the idea of creating my own appeals to me since then, like you said, you can always find the same one.

I bought one of these:

Good quality leather, and it goes down to my knees (I'm 6'4")

That must mean that there are an awful lot of very poor software developers. ;-) [Myself included when I was doing that kind of thing]

Or make modifications that make it even better.

That still wont solve the problem that in 3 or 5 years I wear it out and need a new one and would like to get the same type and its no longer available. It might take me a couple of months to determine which one I want originally and if I do my job right It'll be just what I need so if I start out with something I like and I've made it custom I should still have the patterns and knowledge to recreate it it a few years instead of having to start at the beginning of a search again.

I use heavy denim (quite a challenge to find these days). I wear them forty to sixty ours a week. They last from 3 months to a year depending on what I'm doing. The design is my own. I do not have a pattern. I just lay the cloth on the floor and start drawing. I've made so many over the years that a pattern would be more trouble than it's worth.

Like mine better.

I got my (hose cloth -- canvas) apron before I got a oxy-gas kit.

Now I have to get another. :-/
