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.
Math is tough. Let's go shopping!

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:

But here you go: 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.  Mike

Hmmm, that one pocket looks like it could hold a 1911, perhaps?
 Great looking apron.
If you are going down a river at 2 mph and your canoe loses a wheel, how much pancake mix would you need to shingle your roof?

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...
