I purchased this apron for my husband who is about 6'2, and it fitted him fine. Protected him from his chest to a little past his knee. He is a bigger guy, and wasn't able to tie the waist straps to the front as shown in the photo, but it tied fine from the back. The two pockets are useful for putting pens, notepads, rags or whatever else that one needs within reach. This one doesn't show dirt or soiling as much as aprons that are of white or other solid color.

No-nonsense and practical with spacious pockets. The generous length and long ties make it a great choice for the full-figured gentleman.

This is a good quality, nice-looking, generously sized apron with ties that are long enough to tie in front. It does not, however, have an adjustable neck.

I bought this apron to use with my indoor electric grill, and it's protected me from shirt-staining platters for a few months now. I'm a 6' tall 180lbs guy, and this apron covers me sufficiently. I can tie it in the front fine. Food doesn't show up easily on it, and it washes well. BBQ sauce, soy sauce, fat, olive oil, blood, and salad dressing as all came out fine and left the apron looking as stylin' as when it came out of the box.

For the price I paid, the quality is outstanding. The only thing is the string that goes around the neck is slightly too long; I would prefer it to be slightly shorter so that it can cover more of my chest, but it's not a big deal.

I bought this because I don't like how many of the women's aprons have a narrow chest area and I wanted an apron with better coverage. In addition to solving that problem I also found it to be of good quality and design and flattering on me. I'm a women, but I see that this apron must be a good unisex apron since so many men have reviewed liking how it looked on them.

I like to wear aprons higher on the chest and this one hung lower than I wanted, but all I had to do was put a little knot at the very end at the back of the neck of it and now it's perfect and with no anoying D-rings to fiddle with either. There must be a trick to those things but I haven't figured it out yet!

I like this apron because it looks good, launders well, yet the texture of the material is soft, and the ties are actually long enough to circle around and tie in the front. However, I wish the bib was wider, and the neck strap was adjustable.

Love it!
Next to the vintaqe one my sister made this is my favorite apron.
I'm 5'4, it was the perfect length.
I will be ordering more from Chef Works!

My girlfriend got me one of these and I'm impressed. If you're not interested in a long "back in the day" story, you can stop here and rest assured you're getting a very good apron.

Back in the mid eighties, I worked in the restaurant industry. Our linen supplier, who did tablecloths, napkins, kitchen towels, chef coats/pants and aprons would take all of the linens away every couple of days and replace them with freshly laundered ones. Occasionally they would offer clean, but stained beyond all hope aprons and side towels to the folks in the kitchen at extremely good prices...half a dozen aprons and a dozen towels for five bucks if memory serves. These were nice, big, white aprons made from thick fabric and with long, long ties. A half dozen of these aprons lasted me through the nineties and well into the naught years.

Around 2005, it was time to start looking for replacement aprons. I'm 6'2" with a 44 inch waist. Most of the aprons we could find in department stores were a)girlie, b)expensive and c)fit me about like a bib fit's a toddler with nary a hope in the world of being able to be tied in the front.

Years of hearing me whine about substandard aprons and a shared laugh when a "free with magazine subscription" apron arrived in the mail and came to just past my belt buckle led my girlfriend to find this. Not only does it come in a man friendly European chalk stripe pattern, it's large, and above all else, the ties are long enough to be tied in the front. You don't know how important something like this is until you lose it.

O-K, I'll admit that I first became aware of this style of apron from seeing celebrity chef Curtis Stone wear one. Although I bear no resemblance to him I thought that the apron would look good on me as well. I really do like the looks of it, but it is more than a fashion accessory. I am 6'3", 225 pounds and the apron covers a large part of me. I have no problem tying the string in the front, which is a real convenience. I can see where it might be a little big on a smaller person (especially since it has a long neck strap) but it fits me like it was made for me.

The material is pretty thick and has a nice feel to it. Although I don't like to put things in the pockets they do come in handy from time to time. I prefer for kitchen staff to wear white aprons (that way you know if they are really clean or not) but for other uses this one is perfect. I purchased the Black and White Chalk Stripe Basic Skull Cap Beanieto go with the apron. Although it matches, I think it would look better on a younger person, however the apron looks good on just about everyone, man or woman. I was really impressed bu the quality for the price. I have had quite a few different aprons over the years but this is my new favorite and probably will be for quite some time.
