Angry Beaver Waxed Canvas Work Shop Apron For Men, Wood Workers Apron, Adjustable Construction or Craftsman Shop Apron with Utility Pockets and Tool Loop

So, I was in the market for a work apron. My tool belt slides down my butt/hips too much to make it comfortable to wear. So I started looking at various work aprons that would stand up to the abuse I will put them through. Initially, I was looking at the Duluth Trading tool apron because they have really good quality gear but I didn't like the absence of shoulder pads and where the straps set on your shoulders so I started looking at alternatives. That's how I ended up on this page looking at this apron. Ironic that it's produced by a company called "Angry Beaver" and Duluth Trading's mascot is an angry beaver. I don't know if it's intentional or not but I find it very ironic. At any rate, I ended up purchasing this apron because of how the straps hang, the shoulder pads (when you're carrying a load of tools, they're a god send), and the way in which the straps thread through the apron. First impression of the product is that it's excellent quality and design. I'm a big fella with big broad shoulders and a thick neck. This thing sits comfortably on my shoulders and isn't uncomfortable around my torso when tied (I've got some girth: 6', 342lbs.) In terms of function, it'll hold all of my fencing tools and I can even hang some power tools on it (e.g., a cordless drill or impact). The material is heavy duty and seems like it will wear well, only time will tell. The only things they can do to make this apron better is make some of the larger pockets a little larger to hold more fasteners and add some mesh at the bottom so saw dust falls through. Other than that, I think its a quality product and costs less than the Duluth Trading version.

I got this because I work in a cabinet shop and I was getting glue, acetone and other gooey items, on all my shirts, while building cabinetry. I decided to get this and give it a try as I was running out of shirts. It is finally nice to end the day and not be loaded with wood dust, glue, body putty and every other product to put cabinets together. This carpenter's bib is made of durable soft canvas and has a hoot load of pockets to fit my note pads, pens, measuring tape, and other items like screws and nails. There is even a couple straps to hold hammer and tools. A great buy for the money.

I received my apron right away and was really excited when I got it. I happened to be working on my fence and I immediately opened it up and put it on. It met my expectation with everything I read about in the advertisement. The material to me was just right, not stiff, but the quality was excellent. I liked the number of pockets, (for me, I could always used more), whereas other companies had hardly any. I liked the two hammer loops on the sides. Since I received it, I have worn it everyday while working on my fence and it has kept my clothes clean whereas before when I took my shirt at night, I couldn’t believe how dirty my shirts got. Since having my apron, my shirts don’t look dirty at all, but they still go into the laundry, however, at least they won’t come out of the laundry with some sort of mark or stain I picked up during my project. I don’t know about you, but when working on projects and although I tried to be careful, without knowing it, I somehow still got a spot on my clothes, some of which don’t come out in the wash. I highly recommend this apron to thoughs who are tired of looking for a tool or a pencil and want to stay clean after your working project. I am happy with the overall apron and if you want quality material with pockets then this is the apron for you.

Super durable and fine quality apron. Takes a couple shifts to loosen up. Really comfortable with the cross straps and shoulder pads. I’m 6’3/275lbs and really wish the apron was a bit longer and wrapped me a little more. If you’re smaller than that, this apron will fit perfect. Maybe Angry Beaver could make a “Big & Tall” version. The utility bag included is super cool. Overall, would highly recommend this apron.

I looked at a lot of shop aprons and read a ton of reviews and finally settled on and purchased the angry beaver and I'm so glad that I did! This apron has the perfect number of very well placed and appropriately sized pockets. The apron is really well made and it's nice and thick, but not bulky, overly heavy or too stiff. I followed the advice of the reviewer who suggested using tri-glides and buckles on the straps and doing so makes it soooooo much easier to get on and off. The tri-glides keep the straps from sliding through the grommets and the buckle alleviates the need to adjust the straps and tie and untie each time. Can't wait to get out into the shop and get this thing covered in wood stain and sawdust!

Well made and good value. This does not have a heavy wax in fact it seems to have little wax. I splashed a bit of water on it and it didn't bead up like the back of a duck but one reason I bought this was of some of the stiffness and staining mentioned in reviews of other aprons. I also noted this has rivets in certain pocket areas that I did not see on others. The straps are not long enough to tie in the front as some reviewers seem to want (I don't) and that would seem to interfere with the pockets anyway. One reason I like this over other is the two hammer loops. Others have only one and many have none. I do find that they tend to pull the apron forward a bit so I might just use a separate belt mounted holster. Overall I don't see the need to spend more for others and am happy with the product.

I am rarely “thrilled” with a product. This apron delights me due to its design, functionality, ruggedness, fineness, appearance, and ease of use. It’s the right size, the pockets suit my needs, it is the perfect weight and feel, water beads up on it, it goes on and off very simply (I step into it and tie it up), and it looks all old-school cool. I am so happy with it.
