Unisex Woodwork Apron with Vast Array of Pockets and Comfortable Crossback Straps. Warm Beige Canvas
Woodwork apron with an array of pockets and comfortable cross back straps, in Warm Beige canvas. This workwear apron features a unique magnetic flip-up pocket flap that covers the lower pockets keeping them free of shavings but flips up in a moment to allow hands-free access to the pockets.
Tough cotton canvas gives good protection while comfortable wide straps adjust for a perfect fit. The apron has several carefully arranged sets of specialist pockets: three cargo pockets and two large patch pockets for stowing larger tools, components, tubes of glue etc, along with a row of shallow pockets designed for drill bits, nails/screws, tiny components etc. and chest pockets for pencils and small tools. Thoughtfully designed, skillfully sewn 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: This workshop apron is an update of a design collaboration with a woodworker some years ago. Elements have been simplified and wide cross back straps added. It's still quite a complex construction that takes all day to make.
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’.
