    Default Aprons

    Do any of you wear aprons and if so what are your favorite styles?

    My favorite apron is the one that slips around the neck and ties behind the waist, covering your entire front. But I can never remember to wear mine! I am always in too much of a hurry to get to cookin' !

    The reason for the apron question is that I have started making aprons to sell and I am wondering what kind of aprons women like the best. I like all of them and can't make my mind up.

    I always preferred waist aprons that were long- down to my ankles. At home I like bib aprons that cover the chest and go around the neck- tie at the waist and reach down to about the knees. You know what fat folks like me need? Nice aprons with extra-long strings to go completely around our mid-sections!

    I just find most aprons uncomfortable, full one seem to twist around and since I don't have a very defined waist, never seem to find a place to tie the others.

    my uniform is checks and white polo shirts--I go through a lot of shirts, sometimes three a day. have some cook's coats onboard but it is usually too warm for them.

    I bought a couple of pretty blue aprons in the Italian Alps--the men working in the gardens and vegatable markets wear them there.

    The blue aprons sound neat, Nan. And just the fact that you scavenged them as Italian Alps treasures is reason enough to think they're cool!

    I require my aprons to cover a lot of acreage- not just 'cause I'm a large guy, but also 'cause I really need to keep my skin pretty covered-up. I'm a fuzzy guy and hair restraint for me is much more than just a hat! Plus, due to all my curves, I find comfort kinda like a baby's "security blanket" in keeping my parts double covered and "girdled" with a full uniform complete w/ a binding apron to keep my mid-section belted-in good. I suppose it IS confining and even warm, but I've dressed like that for so long now that working without an apron is darned near undo-able... makes me feel naked, and just don't feel "right".

    When I worked short-order I liked long waist aprons. I don't use an apron when cooking at home. But I go through a lot of towels and kitchen cloths (diapers, in my case).

    Hmmmmmm? Maybe aprons would cut down on the towels and wipes?

    I have a great chef's coat, a present from the ChefTalk owner, that has it's logo on it. But I just can't see wearing it in the house?

    Maybe I'll use it on my next catering job???

    I FIND IT AMUSING HOW ONE FINDS HIS APRON COMFORTING, AND I FIND THEM TO BE LITTLE MORE THAN A STRAIGHT JACKET!!!

    BUT YOU MADE A GOOD POINT CAG ABOUT THE FACT THAT THEY WOULD HELP KEEP THE FOOD SAFE FROM UNWANTED ADDITIONS OF BODY FUR

    KYH I GLADLY USE ALL THEM DIS***OTHS AND RAGS RATHER THAN WEAR THAT THANG! TRULY I LOVE APRONS, JUST NOT ON.

    I saw this book today at The Good Cook... & I ordered it, as my sister and I are always looking for fun and different Christmas Gift projects to work on together- last Fall we each made primative stitchings of wise quotes of famous folks, framed them in worn, distressed-looking pine frames and gave out over 30 of them to loved ones. This year maybe it'll be aprons? Hmmm...

    I have one that goes around the waist and one that slips over my neck and ties at the waist. I like the one that slips over my neck the best.
