July 22, 200917 yr I made mine out of a deer hide that was left over from getting several jackets made. OK it took twenty years to collect them all so I guess it wasn't so cheap after all. :)
July 22, 200917 yr Leather bib been using the same one for 30+yrs finaly wore a hole in it. HMMM patch or replace? Ken
July 22, 200917 yr I bought a piece of leather off of ebay for around $30 with shipping and out of it I was able to make 2 aprons. One is a bib and the other is waist to shin. It kind of looks like an old farrier apron which fits my attire at the Civil War fort where I do most of my demos. As you can see from the photos I only wear the below the waist one now.
July 22, 200917 yr I'm a vegetarian so I found a really good canvas apron that has fire retardant properties from rockland. Works very well. Saves your clothes
