Adam Savage's Favorite Tools: The Savage Industries Apron!

Adam is thrilled to show off his Savage Industries workshop apron, which he designed and prototyped as a One Day Build this past summer! Based on your feedback and comments, Adam and the makers at Mafia Bags have turned his apron project into a real product, made of durable green canvas and soft brown leather. Adam shows off its various features and the thought process behind each design decision, and can't wait to see makers wear these in their own workshops!

Adam's Everyday Carry in his apron:

[pattoncoon]

My wife gave me an autographed one for Christmas this year. The quality is top notch and the autograph is too cool. Can’t wait to wear it on my next build! Thank you, Adam, for making it possible for us to own one too!

"I can take a leak without taking it off." Priorities! I like it.

I'm an artist, not really a maker, but I admire the quality of the materials this apron is made of. I would buy one to paint in because the pockets on the chest would be functional for holding brushes and further down the bib the individual hand pockets could hold in use tubes of paint. Also, I love that you designed it to bear witness to it's use. I have a collection of pallettes that I no longer use on the regular, but I can't bear to part with them because they are witness of my process and tell a story all their own. I am as attached to them, as I am atached to my people. As soon as I can afford one of these aprons, I will be buying one. Also, I was born in Cali, so there's that connection too.

Adam, you and the mythbusters are half of the reason I'm fighting through an engineering degree. I admire you so much, you are the pinnacle of "do what you love". Thank you for decades of wonder and talent, you are a gift to the world.

I love his energy! That pure happiness that he gets is infectious.

[briansavage]

I'm getting one because my name is also Savage and it will come stock with my name on it ;)

[jeef]

Wow, was not expecting the price to be so low for the quality. Looks great and I cant believe its so affordable

[mrgoorn]

I wore a split leg apron for over a decade. I can offer one bit of advice. Move the clips for securing the leg flaps to the outside of the flaps. This will keep the clips from snagging on each other as you move. The same reason spur buckles are to the outside of the foot.

I have a similar apron and one of my favorite features is a strong magnet on the chest. I stick drill bits and screws to myself for quick access. Potential upgrade?

[willsworld]

Thank you!! I loved it, and currently use a general leather apron that saved me on a table saw kick-back. It dented the leather, and bruised me, but I was fine. I'm currently unemployed due to Covid (although I maintain my subscription), but when I get a job this will be on my docket of things to get. Thank you for all you do for the community.

The wife just bought one for me for my birthday and I couldn't be happier with it! I'm 5'7" and ordered the medium; after very quick adjustments to the strap it fits like it was custom-made for me. Brilliant design, extremely durable and well-made, and it helps to support my favorite channel. Bravo, Adam! Bravo!

[zachbenton]

Bought and paid for. I'm so happy to be fortunate enough to purchase something that Adam has designed. Thank you Adam and everyone at Tested for being so great.

The split leg feature is very useful for ceramicists who throw pots. I remember having to improvise an apron out of an old pair of jeans that I basically cut the back off and added a bib and straps tied through the belt loops because it was virtually impossible to find a ready made apron with split legs in 2005. Don't do ceramics any more but I am very much attached to my old apron from the big box craft store I worked at who decided cross back strapped aprons were too costly and switched to neck loops. Wished I'd grabbed a few more.

Where should I sew on my demerit badges?

I love the Office Space reference "flash is not required..."

[boazplays]

I just got a job as a CNC machinist, and I'll definitely be buying one of these. I wanted one so bad when you made it and now I can get one! I'm so excited!

[bronxsmash]

I am so glad you guys add a left handed hammer loop being a lefty and always having to adapt to a right hand work can be difficult and sometimes painful (I am looking at you right hand scissors) I will be getting one ASAP

[jaywolfenstien]

Adam in an apron looks like a chef to me. "What does he bake?" I hear you ask.

Awesomeness. Pure, uncut, AWESOMENESS!
