I have worn my BK canvas to work, but I always have a long apron on over my shirt and kilt. the clay will often have iron oxide or other things that would be a kilt killer. I might get something just for the ceramic work, but it sounds like the PV casual USAK might be the best for that. The other thing I am worried about at the ceramics lab is the PV around the kilns. I've heard of Rayon shirts becoming one with the skin when near the high temps.
