I really cant remember what it cost but I wasnt disappointed when I got it.
They make it custom to fit you
Im 6 foot 6 inches tall so mine was made a little longer than normal and I requested and recieved the heaviest leather that they had in stock

I wear a waist apron made of leather. It started out as a full front apron and I modified it. It was hot and uncomfortable for me. I found that when I did not wear one I was getting dirty right at my pockets on my jeans. I then saw Ken Swartz to a demo and he had a waist apron on. I love a waist apron, it is a lot more user friendly for me.

The apron I found handiest for light work was an old wrap around leather miniskirt from tjhe thriftstore for about a dollar---used it for years. The best part was assuring folks I wore a leather miniskirt when forging---gave me a lot more personal space in crowds!

Bog,

Did you wear pants under it?

Now there's another image I really didn't need in my mind.

Thomas: a leather mini skirt and your hat!?!?! What a demo that could turn out to be!

All kidding aside. I never thought of the thrift store for something like that...cool. Good idea.
