I use one of those ones made from Jean material.  It helps a lot.

I wear one most of the time..It has been so hot lately , not so much!

I have 3! One from when I set typesetter (there will be those here who aren't old enough to know what that means) with an ad for Nekoosa paper on it. One my sweet heart made for me. And in the colder months I have a shop coat. I think they are great. Did you ever work on a small project and glue this to that and not have a rag at hand, so what I have an apron;-)

 

I wish I could get my wife to wear one at work. She's a rug weaver on a hand loom and wears out here jeans right below the belly button all the time because she leans forward on the fabric to throw the shuttle or grab the beater. But....she says it's too hot to wear a apron.

Have one.  Where it sometimes.

I used to wear one when i as a handyman.I'd ruin so many clothes doing jobs nobody what's to do.

[captlucky]

as im a retired tool&die maker i have worn one almost every day so I just put one on when ever I do any work in my shop

[dgman]

I have one, never wear it.

[woodduck]

I don't have one & never wear it.

[Kepy]

Never felt the need and don't wear the one I don't have.

I too have a machine shop aprom. I use a dust mask when it is warranted. Safety glasses as well. I've beem thinking about making that little apon holder from Steve's pattern. I will say that I just ordered a Smock from IAP.

Close as I have ever got to wearing one was when I used a chain saw on a job. I had to put on chaps.

Now I bet there are lots of people that don't know what 'chaps' are.

I have an  apron that my wife puts on me when she makes me wash the dishes so i don't soil  my clothes or spill food on them while I work.  oh, you are talking about in my shop.. She doesn't make me wear one in my shop. in fact she only lets me go into my shop in my underwear only because she makes me change those every week or two. 

 

 ha ha   just kidding,, I do have a shop apron but I usually do not wear it unless I am staining something or doing a lot of sanding on my inflatable sander.

First thing I do when I walk through the door is put on my apron it hangs on the back of the door on a cast iron hook with the letter R on it, They are sold in M & S over here any letter. Roly

I have one and wear it only when I have to do some staining other then that it takes up a spot on the wall next to the light switch. Mine is made of denim and i bought it many years ago from lee Valley

[campasano]

I always wore one that I got from Shopsmith as part of the package when I ordered the machine. It had two pockets in the front which was handy to hold pencils and a small ruler.

Have one, never remember to put it on!

[Clayton717]

I have one, hardly ever wear it. I have a few "shop" tee shirts I wear that I don't care what gets on them. I only wear them in the shop not out in public.

[WayneMahler]

The only time I wear one is when I am working on my lathe. I used to wear a different one, but neck strap always rubbed the back of neck and got very uncommfortable. In the colder months, I wear denim shirts I get from thrift stores and don't worry about stain and glue. Guessing it is all what you are use to or is most comfortable for you. Shop vac takes off the light dust from scrolling and sanding.

[kywoodmaster]

Only time that I have ever worn an apron is if I am welding.

[Bpardue]

I don't have one but was just talking to my wife about one the other day, sense I mainly do intarsia my clothes get covered with dust. Plan on buying one shortly
