thanks bob, im actually looking for an apron thats made from a heavier leather, used swade before and they dont last, last one ripped open when the horn of the anvil caught it as i walked past, prior to that i poured copper and it reacted with moisture, shooting tiny shot gun like pellets into me, apron did save me but needless to say it was thrown out. another major requirement for the apron is that no studs be used on the front of the apron, only heavy stitching, buckles can be on the rear and it has to have a harness like strapping from the neck to waist because of the weight.

I'm sure they will custom make one out of pretty well anything you like even rhinoceros hide if you ask then and are prepared to pay.
