Hudson Durable Goods - Professional Grade Chef Apron for Kitchen, BBQ & Grill

I got this to give as a gift. It is a nice, durable apron that is great for BBQing. It has plenty of pockets, straps that are comfortable, and is a very fair price. This is a great option for a "manly" apron that should last for years to come.

OK, guys, fellow cooks and kitchen magicians, let's get this straight right now: This is NOT "an apron," it is a "MANPRON" and there is likely no good lady in your life who will want to borrow it! LOL, it's just way masculine designed, and looks, feels, behaves like the good stuff I buy from my favorite "man-stores" which begin with "C" and "D" for those in the know!!! I love this thing...robust material, unique design, all sorts of "hi-lo" pockets, etc., to put stuff in (even a side loop to hang something from)...and even has a slot pocket for a pen or pencil! Wow, THAT is thoughtful. I'd darn well wear this to the market, then straight to the kitchen for cooking...LOL. I'm a shorty "bear," 5'6" and 175#, but the straps and the way it fits is so flexible that I think it would fit anyone, and it STAYS in place because the straps from the front cross over the shoulder, then across the back (straps held in place by a very clever bit of leather "X-guide"), down to the waist and connect at the small of the back with a secure plastic BUCKLE with the adjustable straps to make sure it holds in place no matter how tight or loose you prefer...no need to "tie a knot"! You might even have to spend a minute or two to figure it out (I did) because I have never seen anything like it; VERY well thought out!!! It's a heavy denim type fabric, sewed strongly for durability. I got the grey color...nice and "business-like;" and no frivolous decorations, words, silly sayings, etc., on it. It ought to wash well, and soften a little (it's a bit like a new pair of jeans right now...) with proper care. A personal hint: do NOT use fabric softener on this as it reduces/eliminates the ability of the fabric to absorb liquid/s; bad for the cooking business! Guys, cooks...get one of these, and YAY-shoutout to the single Dad who makes these! My vote: 5 stars!

Last summer I purchased a Hudson Durable Goods Work Apron for my wood shop and other projects. I have been very impressed with the quality and I was excited to see this apron since it offers a similar design at half the weight which will work well on summer nights and in the kitchen. After using this apron for a couple weeks, this is what I have to say: Functional - There are plenty of pockets and I love the towel/spatula loop which is a nice addition since I am constantly searching for a towel when I am in the kitchen. The length is just right on my 5'10" frame and I would expect the adjustable straps to allow this apron to fit a variety of different sized people well. High Quality - The weight is perfect. Not too light, but not too heavy. I accidentally spilled some water on this apron and it diverted the spill and didn’t immediately soak through like my old lighter weight cotton aprons. The build quality is exceptional with double-stitching and the rivets all seem strong. I have no doubt that this apron will last a long time. Comfortable - I am hooked on the cross-back design. It is extremely comfortable on the neck/shoulders and this apron has some nice upgrades that differentiate it from the work apron. The buckle snaps are convenient and make adjusting the fit very easy and the patch that holds the straps makes getting this apron on a breeze. All that and my wife loves it too. Well done Hudson Durable Goods!

This review is long overdue. The Hudson cotton kitchen apron is the only apron I ever use anymore. My experience with the product has been phenomenal. Between the pockets, cross-back comfort, snap-connect, and INCREDIBLE durability, I’ve found no better apron for kitchen pros. I have just retired my longest-owned Hudson apron after 5 years. Fraying and age had finally caught up with it after many years of amazing use. Since my first purchase, I have added 9 more to my rotation and expect most to last well into the future. The first few washes allow the apron ties to soften and therefore the connectors which may seem loose at first will tighten. Stains have never been an issue. Even though most of my aprons are black, I cannot see any obvious staining on the gray or denim blue models. I learned early on to always snap the connectors into place and pulling apron ties very tight before washing so as to avoid having to re-thread after a tumble in the washer or dryer. Hudson was great from a customer service perspective on that issue though: after losing a couple of connectors to a laundromat, they mailed new connectors free of charge as a thanks for being a loyal customer. And a loyal customer I will remain, as I consider their aprons a dependable and highly useful tool that I rely upon and use daily! Many people have asked where to purchase these aprons, as their quality and utility is apparent immediately to co-workers. I have gifted them to a special few and would recommend as a great present to anyone who has a kitchen worker in their life. Thanks to everyone at Hudson, I have found the aprons I will use every day for the rest of my career, and also at home. They have figured out the chef’s apron 100%. If we get lucky, perhaps they will re-examine the chef’s shoe wear choices in the near future?

Really nice apron, looks great but I am not a fan of back straps and I broke yhe clasp on one because of myself. Not for me with the straps, but would have been five stars other wise

I love these aprons! I wear one all day at work with the pockets full of heavy things and it never hurts my neck like a traditional over the neck apron would. Good length, I’m 5’11 and it hits just above my knee. Very durable, they make it a sold year of use at work 5 days a week. The fabric does tend to wear in the spots that rub constantly, like where my phone sits in the front pocket and the bottom of my pen. Great value for the money.

Initially, I purchased the burgundy-coloured apron, and was immediately impressed by the design, construction, and durability. The fabric, however, was somewhat light in weight, and as I wished a second one, I bought the blue DENIM version, which is significantly more robust in nature. I decided to give the burgundy apron to my wife, and ordered a third in black DENIM. We are, at present, (2020) in basic self-isolation, and spend many hours in the kitchen. These aprons are our constant companions, and indeed, along with my chef shoes, I would feel naked if I wasn't wearing one. I have nothing negative to say about these superlative Hudson aprons and their features. Unlike many, the straps go OVER the shoulders, greatly reducing strain, a major bonus if one is continually cooking or washing dishes. Instead of being just a frontal protecting shield, they extend, reasonably, around the sides of the body, and fit much like a favourite shirt. Two things: 1) We never put them in the dryer....and let them air-dry. 2) If storing on a hook or peg on the wall, I always face the front/outside against the wall, and then hook the inside hang-loop on the peg. That way, (in theory) the apron straps are positioned to go when you wish to wear it again. A high-quality item that has made a major impact on my many hours in the kitchen!

Nice thick material Great quality

My husband loved his apron , easy to put it on and very nice quality. He especially loved that it repels the water since he uses it for doing the dishes. Very happy with my purchase. Fair price

Muy útil.

Après plusieurs mois d'utilisation : J'adore ce tablier de cuisine. En terme d'accroches, de tissu (style jean) et avec de nombreuses poches, il me correspond bien. Je suis un homme, je cuisine souvent et je souhaitais un tablier qui sorte des clichés sexistes. Celui-ci est unisexe, se nettoie très bien et satisfera les cuisiniers d'un soir ou les pros. J'ai eu l'envie de ce produit après avoir vu la série "The Bear" avec Jeremy Allen White (Shameless).
