Traditional Aprons

Some apron shapes have stayed the same for a very long time because they got it right first time. The classic chef apron - long bib, long ties, two pockets, full coverage - has been the choice of professional kitchens for generations. The half apron or waist apron, tied neatly at the front, has been the mark of the barista, the bartender, the market vendor and the cafe server for just as long. Both are in this collection, both made in linen and cotton that do the job properly.

Our chef and barbecue aprons are cut long and generously - proper coverage from chest to knee, with ties long enough to wrap and double-knot at the front if you prefer. They're the apron for serious cooking: a long day at the barbecue, a catering event, a professional kitchen that wants natural fabric rather than synthetic. Made from robust linen and cotton that handles heat, splashes and repeated laundering without complaint.

Our half apron and waist apron styles are made for the people who need to move fast and look good doing it. The waist apron with pockets is cut specifically for vendors, baristas and cafe staff - ties that stay tucked, pockets deep enough for a notepad, phone or order pad, fabric that looks sharp at the start of a shift and holds up to the end of it. Our linen half apron styles have a quiet, considered look that works as well at a farmers market stall as behind a specialty coffee bar.

If you're outfitting a small business, a cafe, a catering team or a market stall, our looking for horeca aprons - our traditional apron styles are made to work as hard as the people wearing them.
