Default dumb ? do you wear an apron in the shop?

kinda wanting one due to the fact that a lot of the time ill just stop in my garage wearing street clothes and work, and get them dirty. i want one with a logo of some sort of relevant company on it, that comes down to the waist, and has 3 pockets along the bottom.

when i used to work in a bicycle shop we always wore them and they were cool.

I bet mcmaster-carr would have some.
You can go to thrift stores and find the one piece jump suits if your really gonna get dirty.
I've been wearing a large "shop coat" when ever I do any porting...*%#@! metal slivers. Similar to a doctors coat but dark blue, heavier material and hapens to say valvoline on it. lol.
