Two of the three the blacksmiths that taught me wore full lenghth leather. I realize I am like a parrot. I just repete what I have been taught With out questioning some of things. So, I still wear a leather apron most of the time to be like them.
I try to establish good work and safety habbits. Been burned by that, dropped that on my foot, got some of that in my eye, been cut by some of them, done that to, it hurts!
So I try to do the same things in the same way if it works and don't hurt. I always felt a leather apron was used for more of a safety issue to protect against heat, sharp or flying objects.
Be safe, be safe!
