Looking For Someone to make me a Blacksmith Apron
i'm Looking For Someone to make me a Blacksmith Apron, Can someone refer me to a capable source?
Size should be about 36" long from the top of the bib which will rest at the collarbone to the hem just below the knees and 24" wide at the waist. 3 grommets on each side of the apron to allow for adjustments in fit as well as lots of buckle adjustment. Thick black leather
It has three grommets for adjustment and reinforcing on the side.
Cross over straps and brass buckles with adjustment. Wide shoulder straps for long days wearing it.
Reinforced and rolled edges on the top and pocket
A few tool holders, I'd like a hammer hanger on the hip, a holder for my brass ruler, chest pocket and an inside breast pocket to keep my phone.

I had Maka from http://www.maka.com.au/products.php?cat=9 make me a custom made leather apron for hot metal work that I also wear around the forge, and am pretty happy with what he made.
Have also bought a WW apron and several custom made leather tool rolls from him - these are also excellent
The reason I went for a custom made apron was that conventional leather aprons have the waist strap too high up for my long trunk and are also too short and offer insufficient lower leg protection for hot metal work. As I'm not shoeing horses or holding tongs with my legs I decided to forgo the slit up the middle.
I do like the shoulder strap design on the one you show in the photos and reckon it would be more comfortable than the round the neck style. Not that I have seen yours I reckon I will modify mine to something similar.
Interesting to see none of the participants in the world black smithing championships in Calgary wearing only leg protectors style aprons.
