Split Leg Pleated Pinafore Apron with Adjustable Cross Back Straps. Cobalt. No25

Brilliant blue canvas makes this workwear pinafore apron even more exceptional. The fully pleated and split skirt drapes loosely over the legs for perfect coverage when seated at a potters wheel or work bench. Crossback straps are incredibly comfortable (no ties around the neck) and these ones are adjustable too, ensuring the perfect fit, whether that's a looser easy-fit or a bit more snug... then adjust again to allow for winter layers in a chilly studio! Thoughtfully designed, skillfully sewn, made-to-last, this apron is highly specialised craftsperson's workwear.

ABOUT: This No25:1 design came about from requests from clients who loved the pleats of the No14:2 apron but wanted an easy-fit crossback style. It took several years to complete this design including experimenting with different fabrics which offer a softer drape than the slightly stiffer canvas I normally use.

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’.
