Product Overview
The SOL'S Gala Long Bib Apron is a staple for the hospitality and catering industries, designed to provide comprehensive coverage and a refined appearance. Measuring 75cm in width and 90cm in length, this apron offers superior protection against the inevitable spills and splashes of a busy kitchen or service environment.
Crafted with a focus on longevity, the apron features a sturdy poly-cotton blend that balances the natural breathability of cotton with the hard-wearing resilience of polyester. Its professional finish is complemented by impressive ethical credentials, including PETA-Approved Vegan status and Fair Wear Foundation membership, ensuring your workforce looks professional while supporting responsible manufacturing practices.
Key Features
- Adjustable Neckband: The self-fabric neckband is equipped with a durable metal buckle adjuster, allowing for a precise and comfortable fit for all members of your team.
- Dual-Compartment Front Pocket: A large, centrally positioned pocket is divided into two sections, providing organised storage for order pads, pens, or essential catering tools.
- Generous Dimensions: At 90cm long, it provides extensive protection for the lower body, making it suitable for both front-of-house service and heavy-duty kitchen roles.
- Easy Care Finish: The fabric is designed for high-frequency use, specifically treated to maintain its shape and professional appearance after repeated laundering.
Design & Performance
The fabric selection for the SOL'S Gala is a deliberate choice for the professional environment. By blending 65% polyester with 35% cotton, the apron achieves a substantial, medium-weight feel that is both protective and comfortable for long shifts. This specific composition ensures the garment is resistant to the deep creases that can plague purely natural fibres, maintaining a sharp silhouette throughout a busy service.
The construction is reinforced to withstand the rigours of the hospitality industry. The metal buckle on the neckband is a significant upgrade over plastic alternatives, offering a secure hold that won't slip or degrade under tension. This is a garment engineered for performance, designed to be as hardworking as the person wearing it.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
The SOL'S Gala is an excellent canvas for brand identity, supporting both print and embroidery. For a truly professional and enduring look, we recommend embroidery. It is particularly effective for company logos or staff names, adding a tactile, high-quality finish that withstands the higher temperatures of industrial laundering.
Alternatively, if you require a bold, high-impact design for a promotional event or a specific campaign, print provides vibrant results across the wide bib area. Our in-house team in Telford has been perfecting these techniques since 1976, ensuring your branding is applied with the precision and care your business deserves.
Use Cases
This apron is versatile enough for a variety of sectors. In the catering and hospitality world, it serves as an ideal uniform for chefs, baristas, and waiting staff. Its robust nature also makes it highly suitable for cleaning professionals and staff in craft-based retail environments where protection from dust and liquids is paramount.

Practical Advice
When selecting your apron, consider how it will be layered. This long bib style is designed to sit comfortably over a standard polo shirt or chef's jacket. We recommend adjusting the neckband so the bib sits high on the chest to maximise protection. The dual-compartment pocket is best used for lightweight items to ensure the apron remains balanced and does not pull on the neck during extended wear.
Caring for your product
To maintain the professional appearance and structural integrity of your apron, we recommend a domestic wash at 60°C. This temperature is sufficient to remove stubborn food stains and oils common in catering environments while ensuring high standards of hygiene are met.
Using a wash cycle higher than the recommended temperature or failing to follow these guidelines may lead to premature wear of the fabric or degradation of any applied branding. By adhering to these instructions, you ensure the poly-cotton blend remains resilient and the colour stays vibrant over the long term.
