Frequently Asked Questions About Bib Aprons

What is the difference between a bib apron and a waist apron?

A bib apron has a chest panel that protects the upper body. A waist apron ties at the waist and only covers the lower half. Bib aprons offer more coverage for kitchen work.

Can bib aprons be embroidered?

Yes. Logo, name and Michelin Guide embroidery are available on most models via the embroidery service page.

Which fabric is best for heavy kitchen use?

Cotton twill at 220 g/m² or heavier handles frequent washing and resists stains well. Denim bib aprons add a rugged look for open kitchens.

How do I wash kitchen bib aprons?

Most models support industrial laundry at 60 °C. Always follow the care label on the garment.
