I was just watching a Jimmy Reid instructional 8-ball VHS tape. He was wearing a tie-at-the waist 'apron' (I don't know what else to call it). It looked like it might have a couple of pockets in front.
What's the story on these? Still used? What was/is their function?
I have seen only one guy wearing one at a pool hall-about 15 years ago-He was out of New York complete with a 'wtf are you looking at' attitude.
Were these from times past-where a rackguy might keep his money?
I looks like keeping chalk in the front pockets would be uncomfortable.
What's the deal? An old school memorabilia item?
Just curious.
Thanks
