I've never actually owned or worn an apron. Well, there was that one time at the Rocky Horror Picture Show, but other than that...

Hey there! Welcome to CookingBites!
You don't need an apron to cook; just lots of enthusiasm.

I have two aprons but favour a xxxl large mans shirt because it has sleeves and gives better coverage.
One heavyweight chambray one for the UK and a flower pattern one in spain. The dark flower pattern one definitely does a better job against hiding tomato or spice splatter! I find they wash better and more easily than a traditional apron too.
I bought the last one in the sale from a mans plus size website and moved the cuff buttons so I’m not drowned in it and they stay on my wrists.
Because putting a cotton shirt over my clothing does such a good job I never bother with the real aprons.
Never understood an aprons lack of coverage on the top half, that’s the bit that’s in the splatter zone!

I have a half dozen or so aprons, which I usually forget to wear. I constantly get scolded by JJ as she tries to get the food stains out of my clothes.
Must say, I’m stoked/dead chuffed (pick your saying) over my new apron:
MrsT really nailed it down with this gift - perfect. It’s patterned, it’s long, it’s 100% cotton, it’s full of attention to detail (I simply love that it has ties of two colors!), it’s comfortable, it doesn’t have D-rings for the neck strap (D-rings must have been invented by Satan himself to generally put all humankind in a pizzy mood), and it comes from a little kitchen linens company in the south of France, 150 years old and still family-owned (Tissage Moutet).
I love it!

That pic makes me look like I have (quoting something my great-uncle said when he first met MrsT)…”a good set of baby-making hips.”

I love it too! I want one!
Here’s the website:
Tissage Moutet depuis 1874
And a nice little video about the company:
MrsT bought mine locally from the gourmet grocery store I frequent (Dorothy Lane Markets). She won’t tell me what she paid, but I know it’s listed there for $84, and she said it was on sale for $20 below that, then added, “…but I got even more off” - so I’m guessing $50-$60.
I want all their stuff now!

My new fancy-man apron has transformed me - I’d normally have a a beer while boiling some corn-on-the-cob, but as soon as I donned that apron, I was sautéing mushrooms in butter and pouring myself a glass of Sauvignon blanc - Je n’en reviens pas!

I need to find a US based store that carries them. I have a feeling that with S&H across the pond I am not going to get nearly as good a price as MrsT did.Had a look at their website. Very nice
The apron becomes you, my man. Fine show, what?

That would still be costly I am sure so I will just be patient and try to find a deal on one in the US, but thank you! I mean, I like the apron (the exact one that TR has) but I own a few that are hanging in my pantry, rarely worn, so...
