Product Overview
The Tabard Apron with Pocket is a versatile and hard-wearing garment designed specifically for the demanding environments of the food and hospitality industries. By combining classic styling with modern functionality, this tabard offers a professional appearance while providing the essential protection required for staff in kitchens, bakeries, or front-of-house roles. It is finished in a sophisticated Bottle Green, ensuring your team presents a cohesive and reputable image to customers.
Key Features
- Stud Adjustable Side Straps: These allow for a customisable fit, ensuring the garment remains secure and comfortable throughout a long shift without restricting movement.
- Front Patch Pocket: Provides a convenient and easily accessible space for carrying essential tools of the trade, such as pens, order pads, or thermometers.
- Kingsmill Polycotton Fabric: A high-performance material that balances the breathability of cotton with the resilience of polyester for long-term wear.
- Pre-shrunk Material: The fabric is treated to ensure it maintains its original shape and fit even after repeated industrial or domestic laundering.
- Superior Dye Retention: This ensures the Bottle Green colour remains vibrant and professional, resisting the fading often caused by frequent washing in commercial environments.
Design & Performance
The performance of this tabard is rooted in its material composition: Kingsmill Polycotton, consisting of 65% Polyester and 35% Cotton. This lightweight fabric is specifically engineered to provide maximum comfort in warm environments, such as professional kitchens, without compromising on durability. The weave is tight enough to offer protection against spills and debris, yet remains breathable enough for all-day wear. Because the fabric is fully pre-shrunk, you can be confident that the Large/Extra Large sizing will remain consistent over the life of the product.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
This tabard is an excellent canvas for showcasing your brand. For a truly professional and long-lasting finish, we recommend embroidery. It is ideal for company logos and staff names, adding a tactile, high-quality feel that stands up well to frequent washing. If you require larger, more vibrant graphics—perhaps for a promotional event or high-impact branding—our heat-applied printing process is the superior choice. All customisation is managed by our expert in-house team in Telford, ensuring your branding is applied with the precision that our customers have expected since 1976.
Use Cases
While designed with the food industry in mind, this tabard is equally at home in various settings. It is essential equipment for bakers, butchers, and catering staff who require a protective layer over their primary uniform. Its professional cut also makes it suitable for hotel and bar staff, or even for domestic services where a clean, uniform look is required.

Practical Advice
The Large/Extra Large fit is designed to be worn comfortably over standard clothing. When selecting your size, consider the layers you will be wearing beneath; the adjustable side studs provide some flexibility, but the tabard should sit flat against the chest to ensure the front pocket remains functional and the garment does not catch on equipment.
Caring for your product
To maintain the integrity of the fabric and the vibrancy of your custom branding, we recommend a domestic wash at a maximum temperature of 60°C. Washing at this temperature ensures effective hygiene in food-handling environments while protecting the polyester-cotton fibres from heat damage.
Do not use bleach on this garment. Bleaching agents will strip the Bottle Green dye and can weaken the structural integrity of the Kingsmill fabric, leading to premature wear and tear.
If using a tumble dryer, select a low heat setting. High heat can cause synthetic fibres to become brittle over time. Similarly, when ironing, use a maximum temperature of 150°C to remove creases without scorching the material. For the best results and to maintain a crisp appearance, professional dry cleaning using Tetrachloroethene is also an option.
