I just wear my cargo pants that are everyday. I usually take off my decent shirt and just were my undershirt. The one I have now have some nice stains from when I made a batch of silver nitrate.
The day after I harvested my crystals, I went out in the sun, my fingers started showing some lovely black splotches. Really black. Best D-Max I've ever got .

Anything that doesn't have dog or cat hair on it. Maine Coon cats and golden labs shed big time.

But that means you need a kind of sluice at the entrance of your darkroom to re-dress.

I got a couple of USSR made lab coats for cheap, which are very high quality and nice. I used to think i didnt get anything on my clothes but the formerly white lab coat disagrees.

whatever I am wearing. The only darkroom specific apparel that I have is a pair of Crocs that I keep in there. This prevents me from tracking dust in there and keeps my feet feeling good while standing for hours.

Yes, as my darkroom is in my garage, I also have a pair of dedicated crocs that help staying comfy while allowing for a quick change whenever I'm summoned back into the house.
