New Model?

It looks like Jim McCann is the model for the Shop Apron....

It's not a large picture, but that "model" appears to be heavier than Jim.

By-the-way. I like these aprons once the flap over the pockets is removed.

I got one recently and I am puzzling over the "L" shaped pocket on the wearer's upper left. what can you put in that pocket without worrying about it crawling down into the toe of the pocket?

You know, I never noticed the "L" shaped pocket until you mentioned it. It apparently was sewn that way in order to create a smaller pocket with less depth for items like pencils.

I think I'll have my wife extend that seam downward so that things can't get trapped in the "toe" of the larger pocket - although that hasn't been a problem for me. The flap on the lower pockets are a problem however, making it very hard to access items once the apron is tied tightly behind my back. With this flap removed the apron is much more useful.

Some woodworkers find the strap around the back of the neck uncomfortable. I find that if I lift the apron an inch or so before I tie the lower straps on my back, this releases any pressure on the back of my neck.
