That's the same one I have Tom and, yes, the lower pockets do collect a fair amount of sawdust. My table saw is a Dewalt contractor's saw and is the worst offender followed by my band saw. Dust collection on those two really suck (sorry, I couldn't help myself). I consider it the price to pay for all of the small stuff that keep in the pockets that I'm constantly using. Saves me a lot of time looking for what I would easily misplace. I use my shop vac periodically to get the sawdust out. I've tried other aprons over the years and, overall, I'm happy with this one. If anything happened to it I'd replace it with the same thing.I have an apron I got from Rockler that has a criss cross strap over the back that holds it close to my body. It has a couple of big pockets on the bottom and a couple of smaller ones up top, in which I keep pencils, markers an a 6 inch rule. The problem with it is that to pockets collect sawdust. But it does keep my clothes from getting spills and sawdust all over them.
I purchased a plastic apron/smock that's used for by Barbers. Cost about $10. works fine for me. It covers me from neck down and most of my arms. But I use it when I'm turning on the lathe.I don't like aprons pain to put on . But have any of you went this route a lite coat vest. Here is what I bought.
