Alistair,I thought about buying a leather apron but I remember when I wore a welding jacket at work it was a nightmare in Summer time,too thick and heavy,I wonder if an apron would feel the same,other than that I like the feel/toughness of leather.
Who wears a shop apron?

Hey Guys,
So I'm hoping to get a little input from those of you that have a little more experience than myself. I'm making a shop apron for a friend to give as part of a wedding gift but am not really sure what features I should build into it for him. Since it's a surprise I can't exactly ask and I'm really not experience enough in the shop to know what is practical
I made the apron seen below for myself and like it but am wondering what things a more seasoned craftsman looks for. Half the time I'm just shoving in my digital calipers, a pencil, a pocket square
I guess most basically:
Thanks so much for your help guys!

I guess most basically:
- What tools do you keep in your apron?
- What kind of strap, or retention system do you like?
Thanks so much for your help guys!
