WorkEase Canvas Apron with Split Skirt

Built for people who spend the whole shift on their feet, the WorkEase apron from Nuvel Home is cut from heavy waterproof canvas and split from the hem to mid-thigh. That split is the detail that matters: it lets you stride, crouch and climb a step ladder without the apron pulling tight across the legs, which is exactly where a standard bib apron fights back.

The canvas is thick enough to take knocks from oven trays, crates and bar edges, and its waterproof finish keeps coffee, stock and washing-up water off your clothes. Several front pockets are sized for the tools of a busy day, order pads, pens, thermometers, a phone or a bottle opener, so you stop patting yourself down mid-service. Adjustable straps at the neck and waist mean one apron fits the whole team rather than one particular person.

Six colourways are available, dark green, blue, black, grey, red and light brown, so front-of-house and kitchen staff can be told apart at a glance, or a home cook can simply pick a favourite. Cleaning takes no thought at all: wipe off the worst and put it through the machine. It is a hard-wearing, genuinely practical apron for restaurants, cafes, bars, workshops and home kitchens.
