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.

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.

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’.
