Who doesn’t love a good apron—and no, we’re not talking about your common or garden kitchen variety here, we’re talking about a rugged and durable workshop apron that’s made to keep all the tools you need to hand.
While they might not quite everyone’s idea of workwear fashion, there’s no denying the practicality, versatility, and comfort of a decent utility apron, and here at All Seasons Uniforms, we’re big fans of that vintage workshop look.
So, whether you’re the forgetful type who’s constantly misplacing that screwdriver or you simply want a workshop utility apron to wipe those dirty hands down while on the job, we’ve got three of the best for you right here. Read on to discover how a high-quality workshop bib apron might be the best thing you ever buy.
Red Kap Shop Apron
The Red Kap Shop Apron is a solid investment that’s likely to last you years. Manufactured from 100% cotton 13.75 oz. heavyweight denim, its certainly built to go the distance, while the comprehensive adjustable suspenders with side-release buckles provide plenty of support and ensure your workshop apron wont get caught in any machinery.
Where the Red Kap workshop bib apron really shines, however, is with its multiple storage options that can be tailored to a variety of uses. You’ve got a hanging top pocket for easy access, an oversized double pocket on the left side and a huge bellow pocket on the right. It’s the perfect choice for anyone who needs a range of tools and accessories to hand at all times.
Dickies Toolmaker’s Apron
This Dickies workshop apron is one of the best solutions for anyone who loves simplicity. Crafted from 11.75 oz. preshrunk denim and 8.75 oz. unbleached drill, you can expect hard-wearing durability in any environment, while the smaller size of this toolmakers apron when compared to the Red Kap provides a more minimal appearance with greater freedom of movement.
Including two large, deep bottom pockets plus a ruler or pencil pocket and a swing micrometer pocket, you’ll find plenty of storage options for tools, screws, PPE, notebooks, or anything else you can think of. Rugged brass grommets tie it all together, and you also have the option of using this high-end workshop either with or without the included tie tapes.
Round House Shop Apron
The Red Kap workshop apron is made in the USA and offers options of either denim or duck fabrics weighing in at 12 oz. It’s also available in three colours, depending on the material you choose. Again, simplicity is key to this particular design, However, it’s full-length style means it covers more of your body than the Dickies workshop apron.
Featuring two pockets on the front and a large waist pocket with a deep bottom and a smaller chest pocket at the top, the Round House workshop tool apron doesn’t have quite the same storage options as our two other contenders, however, in many applications these pockets should suffice—after all, sometimes you just have to go fully American!
