Thanks mate.

It was dad's aunty.
What material do they make them out of?

Every shirt or jumper I own wood shavings stick to them.

Canvas or leather are the preferred materials.

If this wonderful auntie needs some inspiration this carbatec link might help:

Or if you would like to be a little more fashion conscious:

Or even a Google image search brings up a heap of ideas. Just be mindful that not all these leather aprons are intended for woodworkers .

Unreal, thanks Paul.

Might have to turn her something nice in return of a smock.

I might have to commission her for one in the style of my leather vest. Maybe with some pockets on the inside
