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. Nan |

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...
