Product Overview
The Premier Metro utility hip apron is a sophisticated alternative to traditional full-length service wear, specifically engineered for professionals who require utility without the restriction of a bib. As part of the Artisan collection, this garment is designed to sit comfortably on the hip, providing immediate access to tools and technology. It features high-quality antique brass hardware, including a carabiner and D-ring fastening, which ensures a secure and adjustable fit while adding a premium, rugged aesthetic to your uniform.
Key Features
- Tablet-friendly jeans-style pocket: This riveted pocket is sized to securely hold a tablet or large digital ordering device, ensuring your technology is always protected and at hand.
- YKK zipped pocket: A high-quality, reliable zip closure provides a secure compartment for personal valuables or cash, preventing loss during a busy shift.
- Adjustable self-fabric waistband: The waistband is constructed from the same durable material as the apron body, offering a cohesive look and a customisable fit for any wearer.
- Antique brass carabiner and D-ring: These robust metal fastenings provide a secure closure that withstands the daily wear and tear of a service environment.
Design & Performance
This apron is manufactured from a substantial heavyweight cotton canvas or a sturdy cotton-polyester denim blend, depending on your choice of finish. The 100% cotton canvas provides a rugged, durable feel that is highly resistant to abrasion, while the denim option offers additional flexibility and crease resistance. Both fabrics are chosen for their ability to maintain their shape and professional appearance throughout a long shift.
The construction includes reinforced rivets at stress points, which prevents the pockets from tearing when carrying heavier items like tablets or multiple handheld devices. The hip-mounted design allows for a full range of leg movement, making it an excellent choice for staff who are constantly on their feet or moving between tables and counters.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
The Metro utility hip apron is exceptionally well-suited for branding. We recommend embroidery for staff names or corporate logos to achieve a professional, long-lasting finish that adds a touch of class to the artisan aesthetic. For larger, more graphic designs, our precision printing process provides vibrant results that stand out.
A unique technical feature of this apron is the detachable zipped pocket. This design allows our production team in Telford to remove the pocket section, providing a flat surface for easier and more precise application of your branding. Since 1976, MyWorkwear has specialised in these customisation techniques, ensuring your logo is applied with expert care.
Use Cases
This apron is ideal for modern hospitality settings, including craft breweries, high-end coffee shops, and bistros where staff use digital tablets for ordering. It is also highly effective for retail staff, florists, and event coordinators who need to carry tools, pens, and mobile devices while maintaining a contemporary, professional look.

Practical Advice
Measuring 31cm in length and 32cm in width, this apron provides ample coverage for the hip area without being cumbersome. We recommend layering this over durable trousers or chinos. When adjusting the waistband, ensure the carabiner is fully engaged with the D-ring to maintain a secure fit throughout the day.
Caring for your product
To ensure your apron continues to perform and look its best, it is vital to follow the care instructions precisely. Maintaining the fabric's integrity ensures your custom branding remains sharp and professional for the life of the garment.
We recommend a domestic wash at 60°C to effectively remove organic stains and bacteria commonly found in food and beverage environments. For more intensive cleaning requirements, this apron is capable of withstanding industrial laundering at temperatures up to 85°C. Following these temperatures prevents the build-up of oils and ensures the fabric remains hygienic.
Avoid the use of bleach, as this will weaken the natural cotton fibres and cause significant colour fading, particularly on the denim and dark canvas variants. When ironing, avoid direct contact with the antique brass hardware and any printed elements to prevent damage to the fastenings or the custom design.
