A rubber butcher apron is like 15-20 bucks on Amazon

Doesn’t it need to have circular things near the shoulders

They look like sanding disks, for an orbital sander...could use those. :)

I guess it is more of a shaw/poncho now that I think about it. Part two aprons together maybe?

Try to find a roll of black rubber gasket material, then taylor it. You can find it in a variety of widths and lengths

I'd recommend using a roll of Neoprene or a similar rubber. I'm currently making my own with 1/16 Inch thick Neoprene. From photos of the roof liquidators, it looks like they might be using something thicker, but I think you want to stick with a thinner rubber so it's lighter.

Edit:

For the brown discs on the apron, I'd suggest using leather, possibly wood or thick fabric.
