Yes. The self-fabric waistband features an antique brass carabiner and D-ring fastening, allowing the apron to be adjusted for a secure and comfortable fit.

Absolutely. The heavyweight canvas construction has been designed to withstand the demands of busy hospitality and retail environments.
Can this apron be washed regularly?
Yes. The PR138 is machine washable at 60°C, making it easy to maintain in busy commercial environments.
