If I didn't already have one, this is what I would ask for:

Wal-Mart has these in NJ for $12.95 regular price. Real handy in the shop.

Cool. I'll remember that when I buy a couple for future presents.

Hi Mike,

Yeah, the only thing I've bought from Duluth is that $20 shop apron. They do send me a catalog now and then but most of the stuff isn't my style (e.g, don't know what I'd do with an "unlined fire hose chore coat" or a "Canadian military 3-in-1 jacket." ... YMMV).

The shop apron's very good though. It's really comfortable and it's saved me from getting glue on my clothes and helps keep the sawdust out of the house.

Cheers, Nate

Sigh. I bought a shop apron on sale at Rocklers for about $15. Canvas, fits well, looks fine. Bought it because LOML would toss a perfectly good shop t-shirt with a small stain on it. Said she didn't want me going into town looking like something or another. But now, she likes the apron and tells me not to get it dirty or stained. Anybody else think this is rather bizarre behavior? How do you spell Catch-22? twitch, jo4hn

Uhhh...

Actually I've looked at the FOM shirts they have. I hate having my shirt tails always coming out, and my size tends to make me prone to the dreaded "plumbers-butt".

I just tell my wife what I want in the way of shop aprons and she makes them for me. Complete with the pockets I want where I want them, out of the materials I want, etc.

Nice arrangement.

FOM?

Now we'll just use some glue to hold things in place until the brads dry

Around last Father's Day they were selling those long-tailed tee shirts in a little white tub labelled "crack spackle."

FOM = Freedom of Movement

Hopefully, movement refers to your shoulders and arms.

Freedom Of Movement. They have extra material in the underarm area and an added back gusset. They're a bit expensive for my pocketbook, but I hate the way most shirts bind on me, so I may try them anyway.
