    I have two aprons.  One from The Carnivore restaurant in Nairobi and one from The Carnivore restaurant in Johannesburg.  I prefer the one from Nairobi as it looks like a zebra skin so it matches the thong I wear under it.

     Do any of you wear one? 
    I have a few made by Roundhouse that I use as shaving aprons. Several times a year you can catch them on sale for less than 20 bucks. I also wear Roundhouse overalls. All Roundhouse products are American made so that’s the brand I stick with.

    No disrespect @RRP .  I expected to see this pic when reading the thread, as it always makes me smile.

    Thanks - now for the newbies here please let me explain.  This style apron is what my Father wore for several years when he was a "farrier" in his blacksmith shop in Iowa in the 40's and 50's.

    I bought this one and wear it PROUDLY in memory of my Father.


     


    Nice homage to your father. I don't notice a difference between that apron and a regular blacksmith apron, not that I know much about blacksmith aprons. Is there a difference in pockets, or places to set tools?

    I wear one when I eat cuz a napkin just doesn't stay tucked into my shirt.

    I wear a leather apron when I work in my woodshop. The basic brown woodworker kind as opposed to the Village People kind.

    I have 2 new shaving aprons on order as we speak. I go through them pretty quick when doing nether region shaves with a straight or shavette.

    So...does one wear a shaving apron over the shaving overalls? Or, does one just wear a shaving apron on the chance shave when one isn't wearing the shaving overalls?

    How do you shave your nether regions when it’s covered by an apron? Does it have a glory hole of sorts stitched into it?

    I am seriously troubled.  I was just posting the same sentiment, then I saw you beat me to it.  My non-liberal creds are really being called into question.

    It’s ok.  I’m still registered as a republican, I don’t know how liberal I am because I haven’t taken the test yet, but I’m sure AF staying away from whatever today’s GOP has been smoking.
