Top Reasons Why Woodworkers Wear Shop Aprons

As many craftsmen know, a comfortable and dependable shop apron that protects you and your clothes can be hard to find. Not only do you want a comfortable apron, but you need a safe functional shop apron that has the right amount of pockets to keep your tools within arm's reach. Shop aprons should be designed to help you achieve the final spectacular result of your hard work in any project.

Why Woodworkers Choose Canvas Shop Aprons over Leather Shop Aprons

There are benefits to both waxed canvas aprons and leather shop aprons. Leather is known to last longer, although is generally more expensive and requires intensive maintenance. To maintain and ensure your leather's longevity it is recommended that once a month the apron should be fully hand-washed with a damp cloth, followed by conditioning.

Waxed canvas is a viable alternative to leather shop aprons. Waxed Canvas aprons provide the best of both worlds, reinforced with steel rivets, heavy-duty waxed canvas aprons become more durable than cotton but are lighter in weight compared to leather. The wax-coated fibers protect you and your clothes against spills, sparks, and stains. If you happen to spill anything on your apron during one of your projects, don’t fret! The maintenance of waxed canvas is super easy, just spot clean with a damp cloth before allowing your apron to air-dry away from direct sunlight, then your shop apron is, once again, ready for you to get back to work. The canvas will only need to be “rewaxed” every one to two years, allowing you to focus on what matters most.
