And I do have an apron I throw on most of the time.
And I am required to change in the basement before I come in the house proper...
I have a pair of firehose pants for outside rough work. I wear the Duluth lightweight carpenter pants in the shop. I usually wear a t-shirt or long sleeve henley and I have a pair of slip-on shoes dedicated to shop use. I wear a Veritas shop apron.
I change the shoes before entering the house and if it's just a quick trip in and out and I'm not too dusty, I just give my clothes the once-over with a dust brush. Otherwise, I shuck 'em before going in for the day.

Man is a tool-using animal. Nowhere do you find him without tools; without tools he is nothing, with tools he is all. — Thomas Carlyle (1795-1881)
