Production Notes

How we make this style.

Every waist apron is cut from combed cotton twill, poly-cotton or canvas and bar-tacked where the ties meet the body, the single point that fails first on cheap half aprons. Standard waist tie is 90 cm each side (wrap-and-front-tie); we cut longer ties on request. Pocket configurations — two patch pockets, a three-section pencil/ticket pocket, or a deep split bistro pocket — are prototyped in 7–10 days with no tooling charge.

FAQ

Waist aprons — common questions.

What is the MOQ for custom waist aprons?

200 pcs per design on custom fabric, or 150 pcs on stocked fabric/color. Mixed-color splits within one order are allowed above 50 pcs per color.

Can you make a custom pocket layout?

Yes. Two-pocket, three-section ticket pockets and deep split bistro pockets are standard; any custom layout is prototyped in 7–10 days at no tooling charge.

How long are the waist ties?

90 cm each side as standard (enough to wrap and front-tie on most adults). We cut extended ties for plus-size or wrap-twice styling on request.

Can the ties and stitching survive commercial laundry?

Yes — tie attachments are bar-tacked and we use color-fast dyes rated for 200+ industrial wash cycles. Specify your wash temperature and we match the fabric.
