Custom aprons · your logo
Bib, barista, cross-back, bistro, waist and stylist aprons cut and sewn in one factory. Fabric, strap joins and hardware are matched to where each apron is worn, and your logo and staff names go on in the same order.
01By buyer
One apron per role, the same in every location.
Line, prep and dish staff across several restaurants, in full bib and bistro aprons. Kitchens that wear chef coats order both in one program.
Baristas and bakers across many stores. One adjustable size fits the whole team, so a store never waits on a size.
Stylists, colourists and barbers. Every apron colour is tested against peroxide before you see it.
Custom aprons wholesale and private label aprons under your woven labels, re-ordered from the same pattern files and retained lab dips, so runs match on the shelf.
02Material × workstation
Where the apron is worn decides five things. Each one goes into your quote with the reason for it, so your team approves one specification for every store.
| Kitchen | Coffee bar & bakery | Salon & barber | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Wash route | Industrial laundry, every day | Commercial laundry or home washing | Domestic or commercial wash; coated aprons never go to an industrial laundry |
| Fabric | Poly-cotton twill, stain-release finish on request | Cotton canvas or cotton denim | Smooth polyester, water-resistant coated face optional; denim for barbers |
| Straps | Fixed or adjustable neck strap, long waist ties | Adjustable slider or cross-back | Cross-back for long appointments |
| Hardware | Stainless steel or POM plastic, so nothing rusts in the wash | Antique-brass or nickel-plated grommets, rivets and D-rings | Plastic or covered, so dye and peroxide do not corrode it |
| Logo | Embroidery in polyester thread | Embroidery on canvas and denim | Heat transfer or screen print on coated fabric; embroidery on uncoated |
| Station test | Industrial wash test on the logo | Grommet and rivet pull test | Water resistance and peroxide fastness |
Every apron, every station: strap joins box-X stitched and pull-tested on every lot.

0401 · Kitchen
A kitchen apron is worn through hot, greasy shifts and goes to an industrial laundry every day, so the build starts from the wash route.
Run on the logo with pre-production pieces before bulk leaves the factory. Method and pass criteria are the same as on our custom work shirts.
You receive the pull test record, the wash test record with before-and-after photos, and the final inspection report.
Every apron arrives packed for the store, or the person, that wears it.
Packed by store · by person
0502 · Coffee bar & bakery
Baristas and bakers bend, reach and lean over the counter, spill milk and coffee, and carry thermometers, pens, cloths and phones all shift.
Cotton canvas, or cotton denim for a heavier front-of-house look. Both hold their shape with full pockets; staff at the sink or steam wand can have coated polyester.
A slider sets bib height on every team member from one size. H-back straps keep the weight off the neck for staff who bend all day.
Chest pocket with pen slot, divided front pocket for thermometers and markers, cloth loop. Every top corner and divider is bartacked, so a loaded pocket stays on through shift and wash.
Grommets, rivets and D-rings in antique brass or nickel plating to match your brand, each one pull-tested.
Each barista's name goes on the chest or above the pocket, in the same order as the logo. Spelling proofs and per-person packing work as on custom work shirts.
Send your pocket layout0603 · Salon & barber
Stylists, colourists and barbers work with hair dye, developer and cut hair all day. Smooth polyester lets cut hair brush off instead of working into the weave; barbershops that want a heavier look can have cotton denim.
Hydrostatic pressure on new PU-coated fabric (ISO 811), re-tested after 25 domestic washes (ISO 6330) to at least 600 mm. Coated aprons go on a domestic or commercial wash route.
Hair developer can bleach fabric, so every salon colour is tested for colour fastness to peroxide bleaching (ISO 105-N02) at the lab-dip stage. Approved colours are kept as retained lab dips.
Needle holes would break the water barrier, so the logo goes on by low-temperature heat-transfer film or screen print. Uncoated polyester and denim are embroidered.
Peroxide and dye do not corrode the fittings or leave marks on the fabric.
Each coating spec is controlled style by style, so coated aprons are made on the custom or private label route.

08Construction
All seven go into the build spec for your style, so every re-order is made the same way.
One panel in the station's fabric. Bibs are shaped at the armhole to sit flat; waist aprons are cut straight.
Fixed, adjustable on a slider, or replaced by cross-back straps.
Joined at the waist corners; length in the spec cards.
Box-X stitched through a reinforcing patch (tested on every lot).
Patch, divided, pen slots, cloth loops, zip pockets on stylist aprons; corners and dividers bartacked.
Double-needle hemmed, or bound in the same fabric or a contrast colour.
Sliders, grommets, rivets and D-rings, finished to the workstation.

Example
09Reinforcement
The strap joins and pocket corners carry the load on an apron, so that is where the reinforcement and the testing go.
A reinforcing patch goes on the back. The strap is stitched through body and patch with a box-X: a square with both diagonals. The square spreads the pull; the diagonals stop the strap tearing out along one line.
Strap joins pulled to 150 N and held for 10 seconds; grommets and rivets to 100 N. The pass is no seam slippage and no tearing. Values are set at sample stage and written into your build spec.
Every sample piece is tested before it ships to you, and the results go with the sample. In bulk, line QC pulls 3 pieces from each lot and records the results against your order.
The lot is held and the joins are checked across it. The cause is found (stitch length, thread, patch placement or hardware setting), fixed and re-tested before release. Failed pieces are remade, and you are told if the ship date moves.
You receive the pull test record for the sample and for each bulk lot.
Post one apron from each workstation. The quote comes back with the fabric, strap build and logo method for that station.
10Logos & names
Each logo is set up once, so every store's aprons look the same. All decoration runs in-house.
Logos embroidered in polyester thread. Heavy canvas and denim take a dense logo without puckering.
Low-temperature heat-transfer film or screen print. Temperature, dwell time and pressure are set on the first piece for each style and fabric (why no needle).
Embroidered on uncoated aprons, heat-applied on coated ones, from your staff list with a signed spelling proof (name workflow).
Digitizing file, thread or ink colours and press settings are kept as a logo set-up record. The first piece off each machine and press is checked against the approved sample.
Every new logo and fabric is wash-tested on sample pieces, ISO 6330 for 50 domestic cycles, with before-and-after photos. Industrial programs: kitchen wash test · logo sizes: spec cards.
11Options
Each option is written into the build spec, so re-orders repeat it.
Any colour lab-dipped to your Pantone and kept as a retained lab dip; OEKO-TEX Standard 100 fabrics available, or your own fabric.
Standard per style, extended on bibs, custom lengths.
Chest pocket, pen slot, divided front pocket, cloth loop, zip pocket.
Fixed or adjustable neck strap, cross-back, contrast-colour straps.

12How aprons are made
Inline QC at 3 points: after cutting, during sewing and after decoration.
Each roll batch is read against your retained lab dip before cutting; for salon colours the peroxide result is on file.
Bodies, straps, pockets and reinforcing patches cut together from the CAD marker.
Pockets attached and bartacked, edges hemmed or bound, straps joined box-X through the patch.
Sliders, grommets and rivets set to the build spec.
Embroidered, printed or heat-applied, with a first-piece check on every machine and press.
AQL 2.5, General Level II, against the approved sample: dimensions, strap and tie length, pocket layout, logo and name accuracy, and shade. The QC manager releases the order.
Ties folded in, each apron in a polybag with a style label; cartons labelled with PO, style, colour, dye lot and store.
If a batch is off after delivery, the remake terms on the home page apply.
ISO 9001 quality system and amfori BSCI audit; certificates available on request.

15Program model
One approved apron, one colour reference, and every store's re-order made from the same records.
Run your stores from one approved apronCanvas barista bib aprons in the chain's colour, with an adjustable neck strap, bartacked tool pockets, the logo on the chest and each barista's name above the pocket.
Each quarter's order comes with an updated staff list. Same pattern file, canvas read against the retained lab dip, same logo set-up record, strap joins and grommets pulled before release.
Packed per store with one labelled pack per barista, so the manager hands aprons out the day the carton lands. New stores join on the same spec.
