I like the one from Rockler that goes across your shoulders. I need a new one since mine is over 15 years old.

Sorry I am late to get back to this one. I paid $370 including shipping. I had a couple up-charges due to the extra-large cow they needed to find to cover me, and more than the usual number of pockets. I don't know that I have any pictures of me in it, but I will ask my wife to take a couple tonight.

One fun thing in all my family photos is that I am tall and my wife is short, so every time she takes pictures of me, they have a weird slightly upwards angle to them. But here you go:

Tool pockets were placed to fall right at natural hand level:

After I took all of these, I felt guilty for not having maintained it in any way since I got it, so I hit it with some long-overdue leather conditioner to restore some moisture in my very low humidity shop:

Johnny,
I love the pockets on the side. It's on my wish list for sure. Thanks for taking the time for the photo shoot. My birthday is in June. I turn the big 65. I think I will send this to the wife.

Hmmm, that one pocket looks like it could hold a 1911, perhaps?
Great looking apron.

Sweet Apron. As a dabbler in leather work, I can say that's not a bad price either. Mucho dollars in hide and time in such a project!!!
Over the years, I've found that I don't care for aprons myself. too much weight on my neck, so I tried a vest. This one is no longer sold, but it helps me out with keeping the must-haves close to my body and is easy on the neck and back. Something to consider for shop wear. (I don't wear it out in public)
It has the cross-pockets pictured and normal pockets as well. Holds a lot!

Dang-at that price, not a lot of profit margin after materials and labor...

That is a nice price for a high quality item that should last you for a long time.
