If you spend a lot of time in the kitchen, you might prefer a Cross-Back style apron. Instead of hanging onyour neck, the Cross-Back straps extend over your shoulders and cross in back. The weight of the apron is more evenly distributed.

It’s easy to adjust a Cross-Back to your liking by gently pulling the apron up or down before tying. There is no hardware.

The soft, durable, 100% cotton apron fabric is produced on 100 year-old handlooms(!) in my partner's hometown of Kannur, India. Power looms go to sleep at night dreaming of creating fabric this beautiful.

The apron is as practical as it is good looking. Includes two large pockets below the waist for cell phone, cooking utensils, and secret recipes.

Two small pockets near the top hold pens and pencils. Waist strap is long enough to tie in back or front. Features a blue ticking stripe embellishment on the pocket.

Each apron comes packaged in Reluctant Trading printed cloth tape. Ideal for gift giving.

We supply our aprons to top restaurants around the country.

surprisingly awesome

I knew this apron would be nice, I did not expect it to be amazing. The fabric is such nice quality and the overall construction is perfect. I've been using it every day (home cook) and washed it a couple times, line dried, and its looking great.

Well made, nice colors

The bakery crew are all very happy with their new aprons. Had to cut down and hem the excessively long (even when tied in front) apron ties so they wouldn't dangle or catch on anything but that was easy enough. My only complaint, and it's a minor one, is that needing to wash these aprons cold means running an extra partial load or two of laundry every week because we can't throw them in with the kitchen rags. Overall great aprons so far and as long as they prove durable we'll order more in future.

Fantastic product

I have another, more expensive cross-back apron that costs almost twice as much. I think this is a much better value. I'm a tall person, and the tall option is perfect for me. I'm very happy with this apron and will be buying more.
