Aprons

What are aprons used for?

Aprons are very popular to have in the kitchen due to their many benefits. Other than the most common use of protecting your clothes from spills and stains, it can also be very functional. For example, aprons with pockets can be used to hold kitchen utensils such as spatulas, scissors or cooking spoons. In addition, aprons can be perfect to have if you need to dry or wipe your hands to avoid running back and forth from the sink. Besides being functional, a designer kitchen apron that is of a good quality, can be a stylish addition to your cooking experience.

Even when taking the cooking outdoors, a leather barbecue apron can keep your clothes protected from the sparks of the fire. Perhaps a barbecue apron or a leather butcher apron could be your next Father’s Day gift?

Types of aprons outside of your kitchen

Aprons have an obvious place in professional kitchens and restaurants and are also used by businesses to identify employees. Professional chef aprons and bartender aprons are specifically important for hygiene and stop the germs from clothes being transferred onto the food and drinks that are served. This is equally as important for our homes, which is why investing in an apron can be a great benefit. Outside of your kitchen, you may consider using a cleaning apron to do your daily chores, or even a workshop apron to use for crafts or repairs.

What makes a good apron?

What makes an apron good for you will depend on what you will need it for. The fabric and fit that you need will be different according to its intended use. The most important thing when you wear an apron is that it fits you well and is comfortable when you are using it. A short waist apron with pockets can be very helpful when cleaning to store small brushes and cloths, whereas a long chef apron is the best apron to choose if you are looking for more protection when you are cooking. A cross back apron or halter neck apron ensures that you won’t have any falling straps to distract or disturb you. These are just a few examples to consider when choosing the apron that will be good for you.

Best fabrics for aprons of a good quality

The best fabric for your apron will depend on what you will be using the apron for. A leather cooking apron is perfect for outdoor use like barbecues as well as for inside use if you are frying, as it is a wipeable material as oppose to a cotton apron which is not. A cotton apron, canvas apron or an apron made of another lighter fabric is a good choice to buy if you are looking for something that is ergonomic because of its light weight. They also allow you to wipe your hands on them and are washable in contrast to the leather apron.
