Design & Performance
Crafted from a lightweight fabric, this apron is designed for breathability, which is vital in high-temperature environments such as professional kitchens or bakeries. The 65% polyester and 35% cotton composition is a deliberate choice; the polyester provides the necessary strength and crease resistance, while the cotton ensures the garment is comfortable against the skin. The addition of the Texpel finish further enhances its performance by preventing liquids from soaking into the fibres, making it easier to maintain a hygienic appearance.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
This bib apron serves as an excellent canvas for your brand identity. At MyWorkwear, we recommend embroidery for a sophisticated, high-end finish that is particularly effective for staff names or company logos on the chest area. Embroidery provides a tactile, professional look that stands up exceptionally well to frequent washing.
For larger, high-impact branding or promotional events, our thermal printing process is an ideal alternative, allowing for bold designs that remain crisp and vibrant. Every customisation is handled by our expert in-house team in Telford, drawing on nearly five decades of experience to ensure your brand is represented perfectly.
Use Cases
This apron is an essential piece of equipment for a wide range of professionals, including chefs, bakers, and butchers. It is equally suited for front-of-house staff in bars and restaurants who require a uniform that is both practical and smart. Given its durable nature, it is also a popular choice for staff in the wider food processing industry where hygiene and presentation are paramount.

Practical Advice
When selecting your apron, consider how it will be layered. The adjustable nature of bib aprons allows them to fit comfortably over standard chef whites or polo shirts. For the best presentation, we recommend ensuring the bib is positioned centrally on the chest before tying, which provides the most consistent protection and a balanced look for your embroidered logo.
Caring for your product
To maintain the professional appearance and structural integrity of this apron, we recommend a domestic or industrial wash at a maximum temperature of 60°C. Washing at this temperature ensures effective removal of food oils and bacteria while preserving the fabric's shape and colour.
Do not use bleach on this garment. Bleaching agents will compromise the polyester fibres and cause significant fading to the black finish, ultimately shortening the lifespan of the apron. If tumble drying, use a low setting to prevent excessive heat damage to the fabric and any applied branding.
When ironing, a maximum temperature of 150°C should be used to remove creases without scorching the polycotton blend. For those who prefer professional maintenance, this apron can be dry cleaned using standard processes. Following these steps will ensure your custom-branded workwear continues to represent your business effectively for the long term.
