Aprons...NOT OT...and PLEASE, Buffalo, don't bounce my thread!
RRP

Some newbies here might think this is a wimpy thread...but over the years I had ruined too many great shirts from grease spatters and "adult beverage" accidents shall we say! So I started wearing aprons and I love staying clean!
I guess I already knew the benefit of aprons since I usually wear one of 3 different leather aprons when working in my shop - where I know they will protect me!
I now have several "manly" BBQ aprons that I regularly wear and wash.
Anybody care to post a picture of your favorite(s)?

Ummm ... The last time an elderly gentleman on the internet asked me for a picture of me wearing an apron and hanging out with my two eggs, things didn't go so well. I had already cut the hole out to show the two eggs and was modeling for a selfie when the fuzzy little misses saw me. I could see by the look in her eyes right then and there, that I wasn't: gonna get a new apron for a long long time after that. She called me Toasted Eggs in passing, for over three weeks after that, and requested grilled food every night of those weeks too.
That look paled in comparison to the one my mother in law and sister in law gave me, when I showed them, on a sunny day, in the big picture window of our condo, the Lifesize XRay showing my two hip replacements. As soon as I put it up there, I realized it was the one XRay where they forgot to put the little lead shield over those same eggs. You could clearly see the dark outline of EVERYTHING. There was silence... dead silence, for far too long.
What a family. Neither of those incidents resulted in me getting gifted a proper apron to protect me and the eggs. Looking back, I couldn't have been more clear about my need. Heck, I modeled one, and I followed it up with large format pictures. How did they not pick up on that?

I have the older green BGE one. It saved a few shirts over the years. I especially like it when frying.When I was a short order cook, way, way back, the apron string when all away around and tied in the front, not sure why they do not make them like that anymore…. But maybe it was like that back then also, just the string did not have so far to go around :#@RRP congratulations on the 56 years! That is a major accomplishment you should be proud of.Dave

I have 3. Two are cloth aprons purchased at the two locations of The Carnivore restaurant - Nairobi and Johannesburg. One is a leather apron that was gifted by my b-i-l and his wife. Obviously, the leather one is more protective but I got the others first and they have protected me from a lot of BBQ sauce and grease splatters over the years - and they aren't as hot in the Texas heat.

The basic ones at William-Sonoma are a decent thickness for year-round. They seem to have many aprons available online, but we just grab one at the store when one needs replaced.

enjoying this thread, been looking for an apron for a while. I was hoping King Ranch would put one out but I've never seen one from them. I'll sit back here until I see something I like.LBGE, 28” BS, Weber Kettle, HCI 7.8 SE Texas
