Ochre Canvas/Stripe Denim Crossback Apron No23:1

Striking and unusual makers apron, providing all the comfort of a cross back apron, with the snug fit of a tie apron, or, leave loose for an easy fit. Carefully designed for the needs of artists and makers, the tough medium-weight denim and canvas fabric gives good protection and coverage. The navy/white stripe denim bib has a row of 3 pockets that hang free from the waist so they are easy to access when seated. The ochre canvas skirt section, has one large side pocket. Meticulously designed and strongly constructed, it's made-to-last years.

**My USA shipping will be temporarily suspended 22 Aug-30 Sept 2025. New US customs & tariffs come into force on 29th August 2025, which will inevitably lead to delays and lost parcels for a while - I don't want to lose any of the aprons & bags I've made so I'll wait until the new customs systems 'bed in' before re-starting US shipping. Details are yet to be confirmed but it looks like the tariff on goods from the UK will probably add just over 10% to prices.

ABOUT: I designed this apron as a general makers studio apron, but with a more contemporary look. The pockets are easy to access whether seated or standing and the long adjustable cross back straps give the option for a easy or snug fit. I also particularly like this combination of navy/white stripe denim and ochre yellow canvas.

Working in my studio in hilly-leafy South-East London, I make aprons in small batches using cotton canvas, denim or drill - fabrics that are natural, washable and durable. Careful attention to detail, strength of construction and beautiful stitching result in a quality of finish simply not possible in mass production. I cut fabric economically, minimising waste and saving the small remnants to make one-of-a-kind bags for my ‘Boro Collection’.
