Product Overview
The S855 Butchers Apron is a cornerstone of professional catering attire, designed to offer dependable protection in high-pressure food preparation environments. Measuring 72cm by 95cm, this navy blue apron provides substantial coverage to keep the wearer's primary clothing free from debris and spills. Crafted from 100% cotton, it is specifically engineered for longevity and comfort during long shifts on the shop floor or in the kitchen.
Key Features
- The integrated handy outer pocket provides a dedicated space for essential tools, such as thermometers or order pads, ensuring efficiency in a busy workplace.
- An adjustable neck tie allows the wearer to customise the fit for maximum comfort and security, preventing the garment from sagging or becoming a distraction.
- The use of long-lasting cotton fabric ensures that the apron remains hard-wearing even after extensive use in demanding trade conditions.
Design & Performance
This apron is constructed from Kingsmill Cotton, a fabric renowned for its resilience and high-quality finish. The material is fully pre-shrunk, which is essential for garments in the food industry that require frequent cleaning, as it guarantees the apron will maintain its size and shape over time. Furthermore, the use of long-staple fibres in the construction process provides superior strength and pilling resistance, ensuring the garment looks professional and remains functional for much longer than standard cotton alternatives.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
The flat surface and sturdy weave of the Kingsmill Cotton make this apron an excellent candidate for both print and embroidery. Embroidery is the preferred choice for a professional, traditional appearance, ideal for rendering company logos and staff names with high precision. For larger branding or bolder promotional designs, our printing services provide a vibrant finish that stands out. All customisation is performed by our expert in-house team in Telford, continuing a tradition of quality craftsmanship that we have upheld since 1976.
Use Cases
While the name suggests its primary utility for butchers, this garment is a versatile asset for bakers, caterers, and hospitality staff. Its substantial build and practical navy colour make it well-suited for any role where hygiene and a professional appearance are equally prioritised.

Practical Advice
To ensure the best fit, adjust the neck strap so the top of the bib sits securely at the chest. This will provide the most effective barrier against splashes and ensure the weight of the apron is distributed evenly across the shoulders rather than the neck.
Caring for your product
To maintain the structural integrity of the Kingsmill Cotton, we recommend a normal wash cycle at a maximum temperature of 60°C. This temperature is sufficient for removing most food-based stains without causing excessive wear to the natural fibres.
Bleaching should be strictly avoided, as it will damage the dye retention properties of the fabric and lead to premature thinning of the material. Similarly, do not tumble dry this garment; air drying is the best method to preserve the apron's shape and prevent shrinkage.
When ironing, set your appliance to a maximum temperature of 150°C to ensure a crisp, professional finish. If deep cleaning is required, the apron is suitable for professional dry cleaning using Tetrachloroethene, which can help remove stubborn oils while protecting the cotton fibres.
