Hopefully it comes with the axe for exactly that reason.

Anything for a bigger pocket, eh?

This is not really true, because both of the component garments here, bib overalls and utility kilts, have unique features that are preserved and emphasized in this design. It is certainly accurate to call it a dress, but it is also reasonable to call this dress “kilt overalls” because that phrase identifies what is interesting and unique about it.
It’s true there is a halo of toxic masculinity, sublimated with irony, around the marketing (as with “manly soaps” and “romphims” and so on) deserving of criticism, not least because they tell a sad story about what straight men must do in them to justify wearing them. But IMO that does’t adhere to the garment itself or the the term “overkilt” they use or the genericized term “kilt overalls” I opted for.

Look, you do need to accessorize properly and maybe he didn’t have a matching handbag.

The official store seems to have a big AMAZON banner across the top. Maybe that’s just in the UK.
Don’t even talk about the kilt unless your playing this…

I quite like the suspender/overall style shoulder straps - as opposed to the typical behind the neck loop of most aprons (I have an aversion to pressure on the back of my neck).
If one were to look for a shop apron with this feature - regardless of whether the naming of such garment is suitably “manly” or references a particular culture - any suggestions on what I would look for? Specific products or merely effective search terms are both helpful…

X-back or crossover straps are what you’re probably looking for.

Oh, that brings back good memories. Kind of off topic, but on the topic of great work clothes, the traditional Japanese uniform for plasterers is amazing:

I learned plastering over there in ‘05 and got myself a uniform I still enjoy. The pants are so roomy, perfect for a lot of climbing and crouching.
