I ordered the Leather Welding Apron with the 42" Bib. As you can guess, my husband is a King Sized fellow. The 42" bib is really nice in that it offers more coverage than the standard smaller sizes and he loved it. The only trouble is that the fastening straps are too short. They might work on a med-large to large frame, but on a man who wears a 2-3XLT shirt, the straps are about 6" to short to even be useful.
We got a good laugh out of it and being as we are handy people we can lengthen the straps without much trouble. We are keeping the apron and I will sew lengths of webbing to accommodate his frame.
Overall, the quality is fine.

I am a new welder, just learning how to MIG weld. I looked around and found this apron and liked the reviews I read. I have used it 5-6 times and I like it. It is long and I am well-protected from weld spatter, grinding sparks, and dust. It was well-priced for a heavy leather item. Only slight hangup is I am pretty wide (40" waist, 48" chest) and the straps get tight around the waist. I'd like to see those about 1-2 inches longer, but it is not uncomfortable. I use this with Miller WeldX sleeves and a short sleeve shirt.

I purchased this item for safety when I cast lead bullets. I think this product is very useful and will definitely keep you safe, it is the perfect length (I'm 5'8"), the straps are durable and because of the way the straps work the apron is comfortable to wear.
