Absolutely perfect apron

I had been searching online for hours upon hours for the perfect apron for painting. I had come across a lot of alright brands and options, but none of them felt "just right". Out of all the options, RT's aprons felt the best to me, so I went ahead and ordered it. When I received it, it was so much nicer than I expected it would be. I absolutely love it.

Oil Painter
Crossback Chef Apron
We all agree: favorite aprons EVER!

We are using the classic aprons in the kitchen and love them so much. Can’t ask for more from an apron! Quality, comfort, style, hang them to dry and no ironing necessary. We’ve had FoH staff wearing them as well but they proved to be a little too much apron for that, and so we just got this ‘bistro’ style, and everyone is extremely happy…upon trying it on, one server was quite jubilant, loudly proclaiming it to her favorite apron ever.
Cheers! - The Knock (ADK)

Tried & True Bang for your Buck

Great apron at a fair price, this our company go to for new chef aprons. We're all high volume stores, so the aprons truly get tested daily. We are all very happy with all our aprons purchases thus far. Only critique I would have is I'd like to see a towel / rag holder on the side of the apron so you don't have to have it in your waist tie.

Grey’s anatomy

Okay, “biggest” fear was straps required rear tying because I’m close to 220 lbs, but no problem tying my charcoal beauty in front. Phew.
Now on to practical apron considerations. It’s well constructed, the pockets are useful, the fabric substantial, the little ticking embellishment tastefully handled, and it happily reminds me of favorite NYC steak house waiter garb from forty years ago. I love this long half apron!

Best aprons in 23 years of cooking

Honestly best aprons I ever worn , clean professional and so well made . Plus being a big guy ,you offer way more options in a size more fitting for me at a price I can’t deny . Love them !

Classic Chef Apron, Maroon with Tan Straps, Men or Women
Best decision I ever made in buying an apron

I am a professional chef and have been for over forty years. I have gone through many different types of aprons, from the basics that get delivered to the kitchen every week from a linen service to high profile boutique aprons. I tried reluctant threads just like I tried others, but this was a very different outcome. Not only was the price very attractive so was the product and the quality. I think I have found a new company to do business with. Just give them a try, you won’t be disappointed.

SOLID CRAFTSMANSHIP

As a professional chef for 45 years, I am highly impressed with the apron. I've tried them all, Reluctant Threads is superior in every way.

William Carter
Classic Chef Apron, Tan with Tan Straps, Men or Women
Absolute joy of an apron!

Reluctant Threads did what few companies ever do; they towed that thin line between value and quality. The apron is made of high-quality material and provides everything I need in a professional kitchen from coverage across the torso, hips, and legs, convenient sharpie and pen access, to straps that are comfortable and grippy, which ensures they stay in place throughout my shift. So happy with the purchase that I told my wife I needed to add a new color to the rotation, which at that point would bring my total for two Reluctant Threads aprons to what other companies charge for one of theirs. I highly recommend their chef's apron for anyone from home cooks to caterers to pro chefs.

Cross-Back Chef Apron, Charcoal Black with Tan Straps, Men and Women
Lovely

Great color and I love the little details liked the striped tag on the pocket, and the khaki straps. Nice durable material but soft and not too heavy and not too stiff at all.

Teresa Clarke
Classic Chef Apron, Charcoal Black with Tan Straps, Men or Women
Best purchase ever

I’m a private chef in Lake Tahoe and essentially live with an apron on, and the cross back style has literally changed my life, I’m so glad to not have something yanking on my neck. Thank you, these are beyond affordable too, I’m going to order more!

Michael Murray
Cross-Back Chef Apron, Olive with Tan Straps, Men and Women
Best apron

This apron is very substantial and stylish. I saw a coworker with this dual tone apron and decided to get it and was very pleased even impressed with the quality. I love the deep pockets and get a lot of compliments on it, frankly.

Best apron I’ve ever had

Honestly, I’ve never given much thought to aprons; what makes one good Vs. bad or even what looks nice. This apron feels well made and it looks very flattering on me (my wife agrees IYKWIM).

So it’s 5 stars from me. It looks well, feels very comfortable and seems well made.

Keenan Cassidy
Cross-Back Chef Apron, Navy with Tan Straps, Men and Women
Cross back apron

Very light on the body. Looks amazing. The color choices that are displayed are awesome, looks better in person. Pockets are good enough to carry small notebooks, pens, spoons, etc… The pocket on the top of the apron fits well for my thermometer, sharpie, pen, highlighter and plating tweezers. I’d personally say this is better then Hedley and Bennet. I own some Hedley and Bennet cross back aprons. I feel like they’re heavier then the crossback aprons that Reluctant has. In my opinion I’d go for Reluctant threads any day compared to Hedley and Bennet. Beautiful, light, affordable, durable and adjustable to your movements. Thank you Reluctant, Im glad I bought a lot of aprons from y’all.
