Hudson Durable Goods Heavy Duty Waxed Canvas Apron for Men and Women, Adjustable Crossback Work Apron with Tool Pockets, Water-Resistant - Fits up to XXL, Black

I almost never leave reviews on amazon, but this really deserves one. At the time I purchased mine, this apron was a still brand new product here on amazon with probably less than ten reviews. After I received it, I figured that the price was only as low as it was so they could sell them while there was still hardly any feedback. I thought that after selling a few hundred or these, they would no doubt raise the price after hearing how much their customers loved them. Now after two years it actually costs less than when I bought mine. Go figure lol It's still a bit hard to believe how little this apron cost considering it's quality. It's made from heavy duty canvas as the description says and really feels like a good layer of protection. It works great while I'm using my belt grinder as it keeps my shirts from having new holes burned in them, and it also works great while I'm forging steel (bladesmithing), since it protects my clothes and myself from most of the hot fire-scale that goes flying after hitting the hot steel. I'm also very pleased with how well it fits and how comfortable it is to wear. My previous cheap "leather" apron went around my neck, which I can't stand the feeling of, it's as if I'm wearing a weight around my neck or something. This one straps nicely over my shoulders, which not only makes it much more comfortable, but it also makes it feel lighter since my two shoulders are easily bearing the weight, not my neck. There are plenty of useful pockets on the front as well, so that is another plus. I would definitely recommend this apron and buy it again, although I'm not sure I'll ever need to.

I love this thing, it fits great, looks good, and protects well. The pockets are super useful, I put a square in one, tape measure in the other, some nails or screws if I need them. I have pencils or markers in the top pocket. I'm no longer hunting around for items I use very frequently when I am working in the garage. I also do projects in the house and wear it for that. Have to saw some wood, take the apron off, nothing is on you, I hate it when you saw one piece of wood and then you are dusting yourself off. I haven't painted anything yet but this is going to be great when I'm painting and staining. It has so many uses. The x straps are a little confusing at first, but you will get used to it, and it really provides a good fit. When tied (I don't tie mine tight but semi snug) it hugs your hips and wraps around you a little so you are well covered. I don't write a ton of reviews but I was impressed by this so I wanted to write it. It costs a little bit more than others on this site, but it is worth it. It is made well, and I think I'll have it for years. A real enhancement for the DIY people out there.

Top quality, functional and tough. Well placed pockets for all of my most important woodworking gear. Comfortable all day in the shop. And, again, tough: I took a tablesaw kickback (despite two feather boards and positive control). This leather apron was my first line of defense, and saved me from significant damage. Great value.

This was my first shop apron and I bought it back in 2016 to use in my workshop (woodworking). The waxed canvas material is definitely heavy duty, yet it's still flexible and comfortable to wear all day in the garage. I have no doubt that this apron, if taken care of, can easily last a lifetime. I'm 6'3", 220lbs and the apron fits fine. With the top of apron at my collar bone, the bottom is about 4" above my knees. No issues with comfort, putting it on, etc. I thought I would share a few lessons learned in case someone else is in the same boat. 1) Would I buy a Hudson Durable Goods apron again? Absolutely! Would I buy this same apron again? No, I would buy one of the other models (reasons why below). 2) In hind-sight, not sure why I thought a black apron would be best for saw dust! It shows saw dust like crazy. See pic. Note, that this is how it looks after 4+ years of use and the only "cleaning" it has seen is with a shopvac a few times. You can see the difference in color between front and back shot of apron. If I was buying again, I would opt for the brown color. Duh! 2) I bought the cheapest model which has no buckles/clips on the straps so you have to tie the apron behind your back. Didn't think that was a big deal, and used it that way for quite a while, but the apron would always come loose over time. I finally got fed up and I ordered a 3 pack of 0.75" wide dual adjustable clips/snaps for about $6. Problem solved! Now it's a "snap" to put apron on and get to work and it stays put until I un-clip the apron. see pic. @HUDSON DURABLE GOODS - why not put a buckle on all of your aprons??? 3) I bought the cheapest model which has no flap/cover over the outer two pockets. The issue with that is over time you will get dust/debris in the pockets. This is especially true if you work with power woodworking tools that spray fine dust towards you - such as a table saw. This is more of an annoyance I suppose. Whenever I'm cleaning up apron with my shop vac I just suck out the pockets too. If I was to buy another apron, I would buy the one that has the flaps over the pockets. Hope the above is helpful/useful information for others.

This apron is exactly what I needed to wear for woodworking. I was tired of ruining my clothes with stain and finish and always hunting around for the last place I laid down my pencil and other small tool I was working with at the time. Since receiving it I have now worn it a couple of times and have these initial observations: - Very durable product, thick material, well waxed. Fit and finish is excellent. I doubt much will penetrate the wax treatment. No more splashed stain on the front of my shirt! - Initially very stiff. Out of the box the apron is on the stiff side, not unexpected given its construction. I am thinking (hoping) this is going to need a "break in" period before it reaches full comfort level and bends and twists with my body. My initial reaction was that all it needed was a good washing but the instructions clearly state that it should not be machine washed. My hope is given enough use this will eventually soften up and feel like my favorite pair of jeans. - Nice touch on straps. The straps are made of approximately 3/4" nylon web like typically found on a backpack or duffle bag for cinching things up. However the first 12" or so from the front grommet up (the portion that goes over your shoulder) on each strap is surrounded by a slightly wider and much softer material, see photo. - Pockets are great. The biggest motivation for me for purchasing an apron was to have pockets for small tools. I often found myself searching around for something I had in my hand minutes before when working in the shop. Now where did I put that tape measure? Seems like I spent more time looking for my pencil than I did actually working on my projects. The front kangaroo pockets are nice to fit tape measures, small squares and other small tools. Top pocket is perfect for pencils, small rulers, etc. I guess you could put a cell phone in there as well but not something I would do while working in my shop, its better off up safely on a bench out of harms way. If you are a woodworker I would highly recommend this apron, expect it to be with you for a very long time.

I will update this review if anything changes.. The product is simply awesome. I had been looking for a while at several options for a tough and durable apron for shop use, including some very expensive leather ones. I decided on this one after reading the reviews and i'm glad I did so. The weight is surprising, and not in a bad way. The canvas is very thick and ought to be durable. The stitching is excellent, not a thread loose. The pockets are nice, though I do wish it had a separate pencil sleeve like the deluxe model, I chose not to get that design because the hammer loops may be dangerous in a machine shop in my opinion. This one is clean and sleek with nothing loose or hanging, and no fluff. All business. The straps are made of what feels and looks like high quality webbing, not the shiny cheap stuff thats thin and light. They are comfortable too, which brings me to the best part, this apron is 100% comfortable. VERY much so, the crossback straps take weight off the neck so the shoulders bear it. Its a very good design. I will likely make a square strap retainer from leather for the middle of the back where they cross, if so I will update with photos. If it doesnt hold up (i dont see how it would wear out for a LONG time, its seriously pretty nice), i will update my review.

This thing is great. I wasn't really sure what I wanted in a shop apron, but now that I have it this thing sets the standard. The fabric is thick and durable, but the apron does not seem heavy. It's thick enough that I think it would cushion a table saw kick back. I would have no concerns about sparks from grinding or cutting. This thing can take it. Even with tools on board this thing does not feel/seem heavy because of the straps being on your shoulders instead of around your neck, nice weight distribution. The straps also are thick and durable, so no fear of them wearing out and breaking with multiple ties and unties, and the thickness really helps with gloved hands. The rivets and eyelets are all nicely done and allow smooth travel for the straps. There is ample pocket space for whatever tools you need for the project you happen to be working on. I saw some complaints about pocket space. But I think it's great. This thing isn't a tool belt after all. My iPhone 6 in an otterbox fits nicely in the chest pocket. But let's be honest. I don't keep it there while working, too much dust and crap flying around. It sits safely in the cabinet. Last thing I need is it dropping onto the table saw. My only wish is that it was about 4 inches longer. At 6'1" it stops right above my kneecaps. But I only say that for keeping dust off my shorts. Once winter hits it won't matter. I would buy this again, I would buy this as a gift and I suggest you buy one as well. I may even buy a second one for not dust involved projects.

First and foremost it is a great apron. It is a heavy duty canvas that is a bit stiff straight out of the package because of the waxed coating, I have no doubt that it will relax with wear and I couldn't be more pleased with quality of the stitching and materials used. Most of the listings I found suggested ,"One size fits most", I'm not most. This apron is listed as XL but I've found sizes can be subjective when ties are involved. I should mention that I wear 4x and 5x clothes so I didn't expect this to wrap around my body, and I assumed that I would need to find a way to add to the ties to close the apron. I was wrong! Not only did the ties go around me but I was able to tie a decent sized bow. The coverage of the apron itself doesn't quit make it around to the back of me, but it covers most of me and should be very effective for my needs. I'm really glad I took a chance on this apron, the adjustable ties are really comfortable and the multiple pockets are very handy.

I use it for bartending and this thing is amazing. Super solid, comfortable. The only downsize is that it takes a while to dry in the winter because it's a thicc boi

très bon produit. tissu de qualité et bonne couture

Muy buen producto

I just love the way this apron feels when I wear it. Really looking forward to it wear in. A great apron for a very reasonable price.
