Now that I received the waist belt extension I can use and fully appreciate my new shop apron - SUGGESTION: If you even think you’ll need the extension to fit into your apron, shelf your ego and don’t waste the extra week not being able to appreciate the quality of the apron. As much as I wanted to be critical for having to buy the extension, the quality of the apron for the price makes it next to impossible to be anything more than mildly amused that it wasn’t included - Works Great and makes it possible for a fat old man to fit into the nicest shop apron on the market!
