Denim Potters Apron with Split Leg, Crossback, Asymmetric Bib No4:6
Wonderfully comfortable crossback apron for pottery/craft. Medium-weight denim, with a soft drape, gives good protection for work, home and garden use. Unusual asymmetric bib and the overlapped split skirt offers lots of movement, whilst ensuring each leg is perfectly covered when sitting at the wheel or work bench. Easy-fit, adjustable cross back strap design, with no ties around the neck, or dangly ties coming undone when your hands are covered in 'muckiness'! There are two good size pockets for tools, bits and bobs. Beautifully sewn, thoughtfully designed and made-to-last, this apron is highly specialised craftsperson's workwear.

**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: To be honest I'm not quite sure what sparked the idea create an asymetric angled bib, but I'm glad I did because it really is the most comfortable easy-to-wear apron! I wear the original calico toile (mock up) of this apron in the studio. I recently completed a huge order of these No4:6 aprons in a cream lightweight fabric for a brand new pottery studio.
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’.
