Chef Works Unisex Cross-Back Bib Apron

I just received this apron a couple of days ago and only got to wear it once, but I am loving it so far! I wore it for most of my 10 hour shift in our kitchen and whenever I had it on I would almost forget I was wearing it. I love how sturdy the construction feels and also how lightweight the material is overall. It does absorb some water if doing something like dishes, but it seems to repell liquid spills at least straight out of the bag. We shall see how both of these last two things hold up after washing and constant wear.Now to the part that stands out beyond any other type of apron I've ever used. NO NECK PAIN! I have had chronic neck pain for a long time and any type of pressure or pull on my neck creates havoc after a few hours. All loop around aprons do this to me. The half aprons, just don't offer the coverage I want. I'm 5'10" and around 215 and need something that covers me well, but that didn't pull down on my neck. This beauty here seems to be the perfect solution. No pull whatsoever and as I mentioned above, it's easy to forget you have it on. It is a little more cumbersome to put on and off, but in the end it's really just seconds you are saving. I already have a trick to make it easy. I'm sure some people will do the same. Pockets are a little small, and spaced far apart, but they feel sturdy if you need to use them. I'd prefer that they were all the way to the center an touching, but they are still nice.This chef totally recommends this apron and hope they include this cross design on more styles. Give it a shot. Your neck will thank you!

Whether in a bustling restaurant or home kitchen, this apron delivers on both style and functionality, making it a must-have for culinary enthusiasts everywhere.

I purchased this as a gift for a family member that is attending culinary school and has neck issues.The cross-back feature of this apron is helpful for neck strain. This apron is also lightweight, pretty solidly built and is sharp looking. I did not see any stray threads or seams/hems coming apart.If you are looking for an apron that will cross-back and be capable of wrapping around your waist and tie in the front, you will have to look for another apron.One note: I did have to open the plastic packaging in order to see the true color. While the apron was in the original packaging, it appeared to be charcoal in color rather than black.For the price, this is a decent apron for general use. It is much better than the quality that I find locally for a much higher price.

The main reason I purchased this apron was because I didn't like the feel of the aprons that go around your neck. I was always feeling like they were pulling my head down. This cross back apron feels more like backpack straps. It's got a good thick material to it and it's easy to adjust how high you wear it up your chest which is nice and the pockets come in handy, especially if your grilling outside and going back and forth between the kitchen and outdoors. I purchased the black with red-strips. I like that the red shows a little, but the red lines are thin enough where I'm not always worried I'll end up with huge stains that will be noticeable (well eventually I probably will).There are only two notes:1. Since this was my first cross back apron, it took some getting used to putting it on. I fumbled around with it the first few times trying to figure out how to put it on without having to totally undo the straps and retying it.2. Caution - If you like wrapping the straps back around the front of you to tie them and you're on the above average size, this may not be for you. I'm 5'10" and 175lbs with a 34in waist and I can wrap the straps back around in front and tie it, but barely. And I like to wear the apron high on my chest so there's not a lot of strap hanging down in front of my shoulders either. If you don't mind tying it in the back, then I don't think the length would be a problem for 99% of the cooks out there.

I just opened this and tried it on. I'm not mad for a $20 apron. It's nice to have my own apron to use at work vs. the ones that are supplied by the restaurant's rag company. I wanted a cross back because the ones supplied to us annoy me when they ride up the back of my neck if I'm wearing a tee shirt.That being said. I give this 3 stars for one reason alone. The ties are way too short for how I like to wear an apron (and how most people I see wearing aprons). The straps cross in the back, go into little notches on the sides to help keep the apron from flapping around, and at this point I like to cross the straps around my back and come into the front and tie a bow. Just like the model in the product image. This is where it's just too short. I'm a size 34 waist, and I BARELY have enough slack to tie a bow. Keep in mind, size 34 is not that big. I would say anyone size 38+ might have to tie it in the back. Pretty annoying. It might even cause me to return it.Another minor annoyance is that the pockets in the front are right where the ties come across. Minor issue, but it would be nice if the pocket entrances were a few inches lower.If they made the straps about 8 inches longer and dropped the pockets a bit, this would be a 5 star product. Still not sure if I want to keep it or return it, it's that annoying to me.

I like the fabric of this apron. Not to thin nor is it stiff. Love the crossover back and ties are long enough that I can wrap around and tie in front. Nice deep pockets sit at front of hips and can hold tools or phones! Would recommend this!

Comfortable, takes the pressure of the apron off your neck, which is invaluable during a long shift. Materiel is strong and resistant, easy to clean and care for. If you're a chef and in the market for a new apron, I cannot recommend this highly enough. They're now my every-day apron.

Good quality, I prefer this style much more then the behind the neck aprons. Thick enough to not be flimsy but thin enough not to be overly hot as some of the denim and canvas aprons can be. Good for a line cook, sous and chef may prefer the canvas and denim. You know, to look flashy and not have to sweat their @$$ off. (Sorry chef)

Corrisponde alle aspettative

I bought these aprons for myself and two coworkers. These are the best aprons we have ever used. They take a little getting used to if you have never worn them before. But once you have you will never go back to regular aprons. The cross back design keep the straps off of your neck and holds the apron in place better than tying the strings around your waist. Plus these cover more of your clothes and protect nicely. I will be buying more of these for sure!

Me gustó mucho, es bastante grande, como para hombre, por lo que a mí me cubre muy bien. Hay que agarrarle la maña para amarrarlo, de entrada parece complicado pero se vuelve más fácil con el uso. La tela es gruesa asi que protege bien, ya lo lavé usando lavadora y secadora sin ningún problema. El único detalle es que le salieron bolitas en la bolsa derecha porque es donde más tallo la mano.
