Leather has always been a trendy material. In every age, leather has been used to make shoes, bags, military uniforms, gloves and other wear. The most commonly used materials are cowhide, calfskin and lambskin. It is not uncommon, however, to work alligator, crocodile and ostrich skins. It is worth knowing the difference between hide and skin leather. The former is made from the skins of small animals, while the latter is made from the skins of large animals. This is the so-called “monohide”.
And nowadays, vegan leather is also used to make clothes, including aprons. It can be made from pineapple fibre or even, thanks to a not so old idea, from cactus.
If we think about what we actually use it for, it becomes clear why we need it. Many of the jobs our ancestors had to do – and it’s no different today – involved dirt. And not infrequently we have to work with dangerous materials and tools. The apron is there to protect our clothing from these and to protect us from injury.
Aprons can be made of a wide variety of materials depending on their purpose and the taste of the wearer. If you are looking for a timeless, unique and stylish solution, you have found your workwear: the leather apron. The highest quality leather aprons are limited only by the imagination of the customer, depending on the colour and design of the garment they want.
Products made of genuine leather, such as leather aprons, are of great value and are not intended to be used for just a few months. Partly for this reason, and partly to preserve their beauty, they require careful care. If you do it right, you can not only keep the surface clean and hygienic, but also preserve the elasticity and original colour of the leather for a long time. Soak a cloth in soapy water and rub it over the dirty surface, wiping the dampness dry. If you don’t trust this method, you can buy a special skin-cleaning liquid at any drugstore these days.
