Chef Works Unisex Brio Kitchen Apron

Good quality

I love this apron with its pocket and towel hook! It wraps around and has plenty of strap to tie in the front! Now my husband wants one, too!!

Reviewing: "Chef Works Unisex Brio Bib Apron" This is the second product I've tried from this company. The other one is a chef's jacket, which I really like. I don't regularly wear aprons, but this looked interesting, so I decided to try it because it's nice to have a good apron when you need one. It's very lightweight, in fact, I was actually surprised at how light weight it is. I think it's lighter weight in person than it looks like in the photos. I've only used aprons that are made of heavier fabric, so this took some getting used to. I ordered the black, and after using it, I think I would have liked the charcoal color as well. It has a single front hip pocket on the right side, and some small pockets along the chest, also on the right side, but I haven't actually found a reason to use the chest pockets yet, since I'm only cooking at home in a small kitchen. It also has an elastic neck band, and this concept is also new to me. I definitely see how that would make wearing this apron less uncomfortable for long stretches, but I usually only have the apron on for short stretches here and there. Since I'm used to a thick apron with a fixed length linen neck strap, the elastic also took a little getting used to. Side note: it took a few times wearing it to get the neck strap adjusted just right (since this is a one-size-fits-most). The jury's still out on how much I like the elastic. I don't love it, but I don't hate it either. This apron has regular waist ties, and if you're thin enough, you can wrap them around the back and back into the front to tie them. But if you're like me, and have some "extra" around the waistline, there's not much strap to tie if you wrap it around to the front. So, I think an extra 6"-8" on the straps would have been ideal. Since it's so light weight, after having used it, I'm thinking this might be more intended for serving rather than cooking because I can't see how this thin material would offer much protection from splashes and spills, and grease spatters. I also think it's designed to look good (and it does look good) which is a plus, but when you're using an apron for cooking, you are not really that concerned with how it looks as much as how it wears, and how it performs and withstands the rigors of cooking. I can also see using this while grilling on the patio, since that's not as rigorous as cooking in the kitchen. I rate every Vine item based on how I would feel if it had been an actual purchase. In the case of this apron, I think I would have returned it and bought something else, but I want to emphasize, that's not because I think it's a bad product. It's not a bad product at all (I think this company produces good quality items). It's just not quite what I was expecting, and since I use aprons more for cooking rather than for hosting/serving, I probably would have exchanged it for something more along those lines. That said, if this is the kind of lightweight apron you are looking for, I think this is a good value. I also think it would be great as a gift for someone who loves to entertain and wants to look the part.

Muy lindo

Great color an pockets

I am pleasantly surprised by the quality of the apron. The material is smooth, almost silky, yet sturdy. There are 2 small, individual pockets for markers/pens, a bigger pocket for various items, and a metal ring for… tongs/clips/large key? As someone who likes the taste of their own baking, the strings are still long enough to wrap around and easily tie in a bow. I’m a proportionate 5’4 giant and the bottom of the apron hits mid-shin. Not a big deal because it’s pliable enough to fold over before tying, and still be able to access the lower pockets. Definitely would get it again; ginger cat & fur are not included.

As a daily cook, a decent apron is a must. This is substantially lighter weight than the aprons I have used in the past, which are made of duck cloth. Duck cloth makes for a nicer, more stylish look for an apron you might wear when hosting guests, and is wonderfully durable, but also prefers to be ironed after washing. Not ideal for a daily, heavy-use apron. This polyester-blend, however, washes well and, while it does wrinkle slightly, certainly doesn't need ironing. I didn't notice any loose threads or hems after washing, so construction appears to be very solid! This fabric is lighter than I expected (it earns its 'lite' description), but seems to protect just as well as thicker fabrics! Perhaps not great for lots of popping grease during deep frying or barbecuing, but I don't cook with lots of hot grease, so it's not an issue for me. It has plenty of coverage, so I don't worry about what I'm wearing underneath and the waist strap is plenty long. As an average-size, 5'6" woman, I can easily wrap it twice with plenty of room to tie it. However, it is a bit on the long side, so I double-up the waist so it ties across my waist rather than my hips. Even with the hemline lifted ~2", it still hits me at the knees. The elastic neckband is different and very comfortable! I wasn't really sure what to think of it, never having had one like it before, but I like it! It makes it easy to pull on, even if you prefer the apron to cover fairly high on your chest, and is very comfortable across your neck. I just wish it had two pockets. I keep wanting to put my lefthand in the pocket, but it's on the wrong side for that XD

Bonito diseño y muy funcional, solo que la tela está muy delgada

Hace unos meses compré uno igual, el mismo modelo, color en tienda física y por eso me aventure a comprar uno en Amazon, lamentablemente este bien distinto, viene más corto y menos ancho, lamentablemente me urge y tendré que quedarme con el
