I was very pleased with the online purchasing. I was able to order a Christmas gift easily and it arrived quickly.
I have been wearing this on the weekends for about 6 months now and I am not really a fan. My personal biggest complaint is the straps. They are not comfortable at all and feel like they really rub into my neck. As others have mentioned the pockets really are not that deep and things tend to fall out fairly easily when bending down. I am a weekend woodworker so that is what I use this for. The top larger pocket I use to hold my small square, but the pocket is just a bit too small. I do like the pencil holder pockets. I also don't need the two side loops as I don't really use a hammer but I could definitely see how both of those would be useful for carpenters. Overall I am happy with how much it cost and using it for 6 months has given me a fairly good idea of what I am looking for in a daily driver apron.
Strap system in the back does NOT make for easy on and off. The slotted tools in the front aren't large enough to fit handled tools in the slots, and things fall out. (Plus bad placement where they impale you if you crouch, THEN fall out). Pocket covers just get in the way. I would prefer a more durable waxed canvas. This is material is thicker then a t shirt but thinner than a par of jeans. Supple enough to wear but doesn't feel durable. Though I've used it quite a lot in 6 months and it's going strong. I'm a finish carpenter.
Speed square falls out of pockets (all pockets too small), plastic buckle broke already. Wish i could send back.
