Product Overview
The Premier PR181 Artisans Choice Apron is a substantial and versatile piece of professional equipment designed for those who require flexibility in their workwear. Crafted from a sturdy heavyweight canvas, this apron features a unique design that allows it to be worn as a full-length bib apron or folded down into a half-waist style, adapting effortlessly to your specific working environment. The rounded edges provide a sophisticated silhouette, while the industrial-style eyelets offer both structural reinforcement and a modern aesthetic.

Design & Performance
Performance is at the heart of the PR181. The fabric is a sophisticated blend of 60% cotton and 40% recycled polyester, combining the natural breathability of cotton with the hard-wearing properties of polyester. This heavyweight canvas is designed to hold its shape and resist the wear and tear associated with busy service or workshop environments. The choice of gunmetal or antique brass eyelets provides a secure anchor for the matching waist ties, which are long enough to be fastened at either the front or the back for a customised fit.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
This apron serves as an exceptional backdrop for corporate branding. The heavyweight nature of the canvas makes it particularly well-suited for high-density embroidery, allowing for intricate logos and staff names to be applied with a superior, professional finish. For those seeking large-scale, bold designs, the flat surface of the canvas also takes print exceptionally well. At MyWorkwear, our Telford-based team—established in 1976—manages all customisation in-house, ensuring that your branding is applied with the precision and care that your business deserves.
Use Cases
The PR181 is the ideal choice for artisan bakeries, boutique coffee shops, and high-end restaurants where staff presentation is paramount. Its rugged construction also makes it a sensible option for craftspeople, florists, and workshop staff who require a protective layer that looks as professional as the work they produce.

Practical Advice
This apron is provided in a single size designed to fit most adults comfortably. When folding the garment into a waist apron, ensure the bib section is folded flat against the reverse to prevent bulkiness and maintain a sharp, professional appearance. The adjustable neckband should be knotted securely but not too tightly to allow for ease of movement.
Caring for your product
To maintain the structural integrity and professional appearance of your apron, we recommend a domestic wash at 60°C. This temperature is sufficient to remove most industrial and food-based stains while ensuring the canvas remains durable over time.
Do not use bleach when cleaning this garment. Bleaching agents will cause significant colour fading and will damage the fabric fibres and any custom embroidery or print, leading to a premature loss of professional appearance.
When drying, use a low temperature setting in a tumble dryer. Excessive heat can cause the cotton-rich fabric to shrink. For the best results, iron on a low temperature setting to remove creases, taking care to avoid direct contact with any printed areas to prevent damage to the branding.
Dry cleaning should be avoided as the chemicals used in the process may adversely affect the fabric's finish and the longevity of the recycled polyester components.
