Nothing bellow a size 32 in mens pants. Im at least a 30" waist is not 28"...

I was bummed after reading this thread then looking at their awesome pants to figure this out.

Patrick, time will likely take care of that waste size problem for you.

Good one, Brian. But if leather is what you want, these work just fine for $9.99:

Took a pyrography course from Molly Winton a few months ago, and this is what she recommended. They don't ignite even when the wearer starts to flame.

Hah, indeed. There must be a specialized interest in leather aprons...beyond that of serial killers....enough that brands like Hermes sell the aprons that their leather workers wear. Not being a turner or metal smith, it's a bit lost on me.

Nothing a little extra desert will not fix in short order...

And I love their clothing...I even use their flex firehose "jeans" in colors as business casual work wear.

Is there a pattern or measurements available? My wife's pretty handy with a sewing machine, but some measurements would speed the process.

I had a lee valley picture, then she took my measurements, including a waist tyeing at front.

I really like what I see in Duluth except for that one word I see on too many of their items: "Imported." At least the Lee Valley apron is North American made.

[John T Barker]

I made my own and I'm quite happy with it. A speed square will mostly fit in one of the larger pockets which makes me wish that pocket was a bit larger, still need to trim the length on the "strings" too. They're not that hard to make and you can make it as tough as you like.

Well done.

I'm with you. I need 29 x 36. The closest thing I can find is Blaklader.

Welders & metal workers?

[russell lusthaus]

The pockets do fill with chips at the lathe, don't they?

yes they do. At least the way I turn (not well).

[Red OLeary]

Well done.

Thank you sir.

[Rod Sheridan]

Why the Lee Valley apron of course, it's made in Canada.....................regards, Rod.

Using that principal there would be no Toyota's or BMW's in USA.
