Product Overview
The SOL'S Greenwich Apron is a sophisticated long waist apron designed for those who require extensive coverage without compromising on mobility. This medium-weight garment serves as an essential protective layer for hospitality and catering professionals, offering a practical solution for maintaining a clean uniform throughout a demanding shift. Crafted from a resilient polycotton blend, it provides a professional aesthetic that is well-suited to both front-of-house and kitchen environments.
Key Features
- Large front pocket with two compartments: This design allows for the organised storage of essential items such as order pads, pens, and payment devices, ensuring efficiency during service.
- Generous dimensions (90cm width by 65cm length): The substantial size ensures comprehensive coverage across the lap and legs, protecting underlying garments from spills and splashes.
- Self-fabric ties: Constructed from the same durable material as the apron itself, these ties offer a secure and adjustable fit for all-day comfort.
- Easy-care finish: The fabric is engineered to resist deep staining and excessive creasing, making it easier to maintain a crisp, professional appearance with minimal effort.
Design & Performance
The performance of the Greenwich Apron is rooted in its 65% polyester and 35% cotton composition. The polyester provides necessary durability and colour retention, ensuring the apron does not lose its shape or vibrancy after repeated high-temperature laundering. Meanwhile, the cotton content offers breathability and a softer handle, which is vital for comfort in warm kitchen or busy café settings. This medium-weight fabric is substantial enough to feel protective while remaining light enough to allow for fluid movement. Furthermore, with certifications including OEKO-TEX Standard 100 and PETA-Approved Vegan status, you can be confident that the garment meets rigorous safety and ethical standards.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
The SOL'S Greenwich is an ideal candidate for professional branding. For a high-end, traditional finish, embroidery is the preferred choice; it provides a textured, durable logo that can withstand the rigours of a 60°C wash cycle without losing its integrity. Alternatively, for larger, bold graphics or promotional designs, print customisation offers a vibrant and smooth finish. Our expert team in Telford, who have been perfecting these techniques since 1976, will ensure your branding is applied with the technical precision your business deserves.
Use Cases
This apron is perfectly suited for waitstaff, baristas, and bistro workers who need to look polished while performing physical tasks. It is also an excellent choice for florists, craftspeople, or laboratory technicians who require a reliable barrier against dust and liquids while maintaining a streamlined professional look.

Practical Advice
When donning the Greenwich Apron, ensure the waist ties are fastened securely but comfortably to prevent the apron from shifting during movement. For a cohesive team appearance, we recommend that all staff tie their aprons at a consistent height. This long waist style pairs particularly well with smart trousers, providing a functional layer that does not restrict access to footwear or lower leg movement.
Caring for your product
To maintain the structural integrity and professional appearance of your apron, it is vital to follow the recommended care instructions. Consistent care will ensure the garment continues to perform as intended and remains a credit to your business uniform.
We recommend a domestic wash at 60°C. This temperature is specifically chosen to effectively break down food oils and organic matter common in catering environments. Washing at lower temperatures may leave residues behind, while exceeding this limit could eventually damage the polyester fibres and lead to premature wear.
Avoid the use of chlorine-based bleach. Harsh chemicals will strip the dye from the fabric and can weaken the polyester-cotton threads, significantly shortening the lifespan of the garment and potentially damaging any custom embroidery or print.
When drying and ironing, use a moderate heat setting. Overheating the fabric during the drying process can lead to shrinkage and make the material more brittle over time. A light iron while the garment is slightly damp will help you achieve a perfectly crisp finish for the start of your next shift.
