ProWear Canvas Kitchen Apron

A heavy canvas apron cut to fit both men and women, with adjustable neck and waist straps and pockets across the front. Canvas is the right fabric for this: it takes splashes, oil and heat far better than the thin polyester most aprons use, and it softens with washing rather than pilling.

The front pockets are the detail that gets used. A thermometer, a pen, a docket pad, tongs, a phone, all of it stays to hand instead of being carried across a kitchen. The adjustable straps mean one apron fits whoever is wearing it that shift, which matters in a cafe or a shared kitchen.

It is a genuine workwear piece rather than a decorative one, so it suits a restaurant kitchen, a bar, a cafe counter, a nail or beauty studio, a barbecue or a home cook who does a lot of it. Six colours are offered: grey, blue, brown, white, purple and black. Machine washable; wash before first use, as heavy canvas can shed a little dye initially.
