Vintage Aprons: Four Vintage Colors
A bib apron is the most traditional apron style and is most likely what is envisioned when people think of aprons. The vintage apron can be best described as a bib apron with a center divide patch pocket that can be used to store small tools and utensils like pencils and a thermometer. This type of apron loops around the neck and extends to the knees to protect the wearer’s upper and the lower body from grease and spills. A tie secures the apron around the waist.
This type of bib apron is ideal for bakers, chefs, and home cooks because it provides coverage from flour, splattering pans, and water while cooking and cleaning up. These aprons are one of the most common types to find in different styles, sizes and colors because of how popular it is.
Our Vintage Apron colors are inspired by nature: Blue slate, Natural, Heather Grey and Spice with reinforced double stitching in accent colors. The colors of these aprons are not too bold but also not dull at the same time. These classic colors are calming rather than attention-grabbing, suitable for creating a relaxed environment for your customers. If you don’t want to overwhelm your clients with very bold and bright colors, but rather colors that can still peacefully distinguish the employee from everyone else in order to make it easy for the customer to identify the employee.
Easy to Wash Everyday Bib Apron
Working in the food industry guarantees that aprons will get dirty on a daily basis, which is why it would be sensible and economical to get aprons that are of good quality and won’t be tarnished after only a few washes. Your aprons should still hold its shape and not be ruined after a few washes, while also staying true to its size. It should be easy to wash and not need an entire manual just to wash an apron.
Always choose wisely when choosing aprons for staff because although leather might be durable and more aesthetically pleasing, it is not machine washable. Waxed cotton is a popular waterproof choice for many, but it also is not machine washable. Cotton, denim and linen are the go-to options for aprons that need to be laundered because they won’t get ruined when washed in a washing machine.
When selecting the right apron for your needs always go through all of your options and choose what will be the best option for washing after cooking tasks or any tasks that will leave the apron dirty. Investing in great quality everyday bib aprons that can be washed regularly will save money in the long run.
