Product Overview
The Premier PR132 Chino Cotton Bib Apron represents a sophisticated departure from standard hospitality wear, blending the rugged aesthetic of chino workwear with the functional requirements of a high-paced service environment. Constructed from 100% cotton twill, this medium-weight apron provides a durable barrier against the daily rigours of the kitchen or bar while maintaining a refined, contemporary look. Measuring 86cm in length and 72cm in width, it offers comprehensive coverage for staff, ensuring they remain protected and professional throughout their shift.
Key Features
- Chino-Style Detailing: The inclusion of stitched pockets and metal rivets mirrors the durability found in classic work trousers, ensuring critical stress points are reinforced for longevity.
- Multi-Pocket Functionality: A central chest pocket is complemented by two large side pockets designed to accommodate tablet devices, allowing staff to manage digital ordering systems with ease.
- Adjustable Fastening System: The neck strap features a combination of a buckle and pop-snap buttons, providing a secure and customisable fit that remains stable during active movement.
- Substantial Fabric Quality: The 100% cotton twill construction offers a comfortable yet sturdy feel, suitable for environments that demand both style and substance.
Design & Performance
This apron is engineered for the modern hospitality landscape where appearance is as vital as utility. The medium-weight cotton twill is specifically chosen for its breathable nature and its ability to withstand the friction of a busy service. The "chino" influence is not merely aesthetic; the use of rivets at the pocket corners significantly reduces the risk of tearing when pockets are loaded with heavy items like tablets or order pads. The full bib design ensures that the torso is shielded from splashes and heat, making it a reliable choice for front-of-house staff and baristas alike.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
The flat, tight weave of the 100% cotton twill makes the PR132 an ideal canvas for custom branding. For businesses seeking a traditional, high-end finish, embroidery is the recommended choice. Our Telford-based team can expertly stitch your logo or staff names directly into the fabric, providing a permanent and professional appearance that withstands frequent laundering.
Alternatively, screen or vinyl printing is perfectly suited for larger, more graphic designs. Print allows for bold colour application and high-impact branding that remains sharp even on the textured twill surface. At MyWorkwear, we have been perfecting our customisation techniques since 1976, ensuring your uniform reflects the quality of your own business.
Use Cases
The PR132 is exceptionally suited for upscale bars, artisan cafes, and restaurants that favour an industrial or contemporary aesthetic. Its large pockets make it particularly useful for venues utilising tablet-based point-of-sale systems. It is also an excellent choice for craft workshops or retail environments where a sturdy, stylish protective layer is required.

Practical Advice
As this is a "One Size" garment with significant width, it is designed to wrap around the body comfortably. We recommend adjusting the neck strap before the start of a shift to ensure the bib sits at the correct height to protect your clothing. Given the cotton composition, it is worth noting that the fabric will soften and become even more comfortable after its initial wash.
Caring for your product
To maintain the structural integrity and professional appearance of your apron, it is essential to follow the recommended laundering procedures. This garment is designed for high-temperature hygiene, supporting a domestic wash at 60°C and an industrial wash at up to 85°C.
High-temperature washing is crucial for removing stubborn grease and food stains that are common in hospitality. Failing to wash at these temperatures may allow bacteria to persist in the cotton fibres. However, please ensure that you do not use harsh bleaching agents, as these can weaken the cotton twill and cause the dark "chino" colours to fade prematurely.
