BRITEREE Woodworking Apron for Men, Gifts for Men Dad Father, with 9 Tool Pockets, Durable Waxed Canvas Work Apron for Woodworkers Carpenters Blacksmiths (Brown -Waxed Canvas Apron)

I am an avid woodworker. i get involved in many projects. I have been on a project since sept of 2011 when i bought this first one. I left my other apron in the shop and needed one for on the job. After adjusting it to fit me comfortably, it has served its purpose beyond expectations.I love all the small pockets for pencils and scribes, etc, as well as the kangaroo style pouches and the 2 front flapped ones. The shoulder straps had pads on them to ease the discomfort of wearing all day, and the leather crossover patch serves it purpose to keep the straps in line. The 2 durable plastic clips work as intended and hasn't failed me on my first one, and i dont expect they will on this one either. The inside top of the apron has a loop to hang it up at the end of the day, instead of wrapping the straps around something.This is my second one i needed in 2 years, and the only problem i have in replacing it is the place i clip my tape measure wore the threading down and was getting snagged. I shopped around for others in this price range, and none compared to what i was replacing, so i went with what is tried and proven to be the best for me.You will love this waxed shop apron, as it really is the best one out there. It is a little "stiff" at first, but over time it will mold to your shape and will fit like a glove. I dont recommend washing it to try and soften the material, if it feels to stiff for your likings, try finding a different job that requires a soft touch instead of a real man handled piece of equipment such as this shop apron. It really is an indispensable tool in the shop and on the job.I do wish it had a designated metal tape measure clip on the right side of the apron so 2 years from now, i wouldnt have to buy another one. Perhaps i can find a way to rivet one on somewhere.

I received my apron today and am very pleased with it. I was considering the Carhart and Texas brands when I saw this one. It arrived in a heavy translucent vinyl zipper bag inside a surprisingly nice box with silica get packets and a nice brochure illustrating all the features of the apron and included the seller’s satisfaction guarantee and contact info.The apron is much heavier waxed cotton at 20oz than either of those other two and has many more pockets and features for the same price. It has one huge, wide, deep kangaroo pocket in front that both hands fit into (similar to a hand warmer pocket), 2 large tool pockets with flaps (to keep sawdust out), a cellphone pocket with Velcro strap, 2 pencil pockets, a metal loop that could hold a hammer, 2 small leather loops (for tape measure, safety glasses, etc.), a loop to hang it up by, and (I really like this) a large magnet in the front center to hold nails, small tools, etc. The adjustable straps include padded shoulder pads, a leather strap connector for the criss-cross straps and plastic snap-fit connectors (one of the others mentioned did not even include snap connectors). I can’t think of anything else that I would want on the apron.This apron is really nice. It even impressed my wife!

I dont write reviews... but this product impressed me enough to write one. The quality is superb. Its exactly what I wanted for grafting fruit trees and for wood working projects. Its very comfortable to wear due to the padded shoulders. The pockets hold everything I need without fear of piercing me or damaging the fabric. To top it off, it has a super strong magnetic strip to hold nails, screws etc but its so strong that it can actually hold my pruners.Now the catch: I was totally psyched about the apron but found that the cell phone pocket did not fit my phablet (phone tablet lol). I have a Note 10+ which is a huge phone and with the phone case, that thing was not going to fit. I was able to carefully cut away at the stitched seams in between. I was able to do so without damaging the apron. I made sure to slightly burn the ends of the stitches so it wouldnt continue ripping. Now it holds my phone comfortably and the velcro strap keeps it in place. If you require a bigger pocket, it is easy to expand the size. I provided photos to prove it didnt damage it at all. I am now super pumped. Thank you for the wonderful product.

I love this heavy-duty apron except for the straps. It was not easy to put the apron on and adjust the straps. After fighting with them for a few days I decided to take a pair of scissors to the straps and resew them into something that's much easier to wear. It took a little bit of work but I'm happy with this shop garment now. IMHO Briteree needs to redesign the straps. Speed and ease in putting the apron on and taking it off should be their design goal. The apron itself is really nice, with pockets galore and some interesting and useful features. I just love it since my modifications.
