Professional Grade Chef Apron - Denim (HDG805D)

I got this to give as a gift. It is a nice, durable apron that is great for BBQing. It has plenty of pockets, straps that are comfortable, and is a very fair price. This is a great option for a "manly" apron that should last for years to come.

OK, guys, fellow cooks and kitchen magicians, let's get this straight right now: This is NOT "an apron," it is a "MANPRON" and there is likely no good lady in your life who will want to borrow it! LOL, it's just way masculine designed, and looks, feels, behaves like the good stuff I buy from my favorite "man-stores" which begin with "C" and "D" for those in the know!!! I love this thing...robust material, unique design, all sorts of "hi-lo" pockets, etc., to put stuff in (even a side loop to hang something from)...and even has a slot pocket for a pen or pencil! Wow, THAT is thoughtful. I'd darn well wear this to the market, then straight to the kitchen for cooking...LOL. I'm a shorty "bear," 5'6" and 175#, but the straps and the way it fits is so flexible that I think it would fit anyone, and it STAYS in place because the straps from the front cross over the shoulder, then across the back (straps held in place by a very clever bit of leather "X-guide"), down to the waist and connect at the small of the back with a secure plastic BUCKLE with the adjustable straps to make sure it holds in place no matter how tight or loose you prefer...no need to "tie a knot"! You might even have to spend a minute or two to figure it out (I did) because I have never seen anything like it; VERY well thought out!!! It's a heavy denim type fabric, sewed strongly for durability. I got the grey color...nice and "business-like;" and no frivolous decorations, words, silly sayings, etc., on it. It ought to wash well, and soften a little (it's a bit like a new pair of jeans right now...) with proper care. A personal hint: do NOT use fabric softener on this as it reduces/eliminates the ability of the fabric to absorb liquid/s; bad for the cooking business! Guys, cooks...get one of these, and YAY-shoutout to the single Dad who makes these! My vote: 5 stars!

I ordered this Hudson Durable Goods Chef’s Apron to replace the one I had for years, not because it wore out, but because it disappeared when I moved. I cook a lot, and at one point worked in professional kitchens, which taught me very quickly about what qualities I want in my kitchen supplies. This apron is exactly the same style I had for about 4-5 years. It took me a while to identify which apron it was because I wanted the same one, and once it arrived, I was very pleased to find out it is the style, comfort, color, easy to use and high quality apron as the first one. This apron looks great, is self adjusting, and uses a single buckle so I don’t have to fuss with ties, and once it’s adjusted the first time, there’s no need to ever change it, just slide it over your head and clip the buckles in the back. It’s always hot in the kitchen, and this canvas-type, heavy weight, cotton fabric is comfortable and breathable even when I’m working at full capacity. The pockets are all very usable, easy to find things in, and are structurally sound. I wash my apron regularly, and it still looks as good as it did when I first purchased it. The kitchen is my domain, and when entertaining guests, I am doing everything I can to make sure every dish comes out at the right time, which means I don’t want to have to change my clothes after I’ve put all the well-timed dishes on the table, so I want an apron that functions properly, protects my clothing while I’m working, looks great and easy to care for. When I put this apron on, it means it’s go time, and I see it as a integral part of my kitchen activity. For this price, it’s hard to believe what a fabulous, high quality product you get, and that’s saying a lot these days when so much stuff is cheaply made and simply not this good.

Last summer I purchased a Hudson Durable Goods Work Apron for my wood shop and other projects. I have been very impressed with the quality and I was excited to see this apron since it offers a similar design at half the weight which will work well on summer nights and in the kitchen. After using this apron for a couple weeks, this is what I have to say: Functional - There are plenty of pockets and I love the towel/spatula loop which is a nice addition since I am constantly searching for a towel when I am in the kitchen. The length is just right on my 5'10" frame and I would expect the adjustable straps to allow this apron to fit a variety of different sized people well. High Quality - The weight is perfect. Not too light, but not too heavy. I accidentally spilled some water on this apron and it diverted the spill and didn’t immediately soak through like my old lighter weight cotton aprons. The build quality is exceptional with double-stitching and the rivets all seem strong. I have no doubt that this apron will last a long time. Comfortable - I am hooked on the cross-back design. It is extremely comfortable on the neck/shoulders and this apron has some nice upgrades that differentiate it from the work apron. The buckle snaps are convenient and make adjusting the fit very easy and the patch that holds the straps makes getting this apron on a breeze. All that and my wife loves it too. Well done Hudson Durable Goods!

Really nice apron, looks great but I am not a fan of back straps and I broke yhe clasp on one because of myself. Not for me with the straps, but would have been five stars other wise

Es muy buen delantal, los materiales son de excelente calidad y esta reforzado en donde debe estarlo. Solo que creo que esta caro ya que si bien es muy buen producto, no excede por mucho la calidad de otros a menor precio.

Initially, I purchased the burgundy-coloured apron, and was immediately impressed by the design, construction, and durability. The fabric, however, was somewhat light in weight, and as I wished a second one, I bought the blue DENIM version, which is significantly more robust in nature. I decided to give the burgundy apron to my wife, and ordered a third in black DENIM. We are, at present, (2020) in basic self-isolation, and spend many hours in the kitchen. These aprons are our constant companions, and indeed, along with my chef shoes, I would feel naked if I wasn't wearing one. I have nothing negative to say about these superlative Hudson aprons and their features. Unlike many, the straps go OVER the shoulders, greatly reducing strain, a major bonus if one is continually cooking or washing dishes. Instead of being just a frontal protecting shield, they extend, reasonably, around the sides of the body, and fit much like a favourite shirt. Two things: 1) We never put them in the dryer....and let them air-dry. 2) If storing on a hook or peg on the wall, I always face the front/outside against the wall, and then hook the inside hang-loop on the peg. That way, (in theory) the apron straps are positioned to go when you wish to wear it again. A high-quality item that has made a major impact on my many hours in the kitchen!

Nice thick material Great quality

Muy útil.

Après plusieurs mois d'utilisation : J'adore ce tablier de cuisine. En terme d'accroches, de tissu (style jean) et avec de nombreuses poches, il me correspond bien. Je suis un homme, je cuisine souvent et je souhaitais un tablier qui sorte des clichés sexistes. Celui-ci est unisexe, se nettoie très bien et satisfera les cuisiniers d'un soir ou les pros. J'ai eu l'envie de ce produit après avoir vu la série "The Bear" avec Jeremy Allen White (Shameless).
