Product Safety Recall: Infant Capilene® Midweight Set Web Specials: Past-season products for less. Earth Is Now Our Only Shareholder
Product Safety Recall
Due to safety concerns about the snaps on the Infant Capilene® Midweight Set, we are implementing a recall of units purchased between August 1, 2021, and January 12, 2023. For more information, including how to identify this product, how to return it and how to get a full refund, please click the link below.
If we have any hope of a thriving planet—much less a business—it is going to take all of us doing what we can with the resources we have. This is what we can do.
Orders are shipped within 1-2 business days and arrive within 3-10 business days. Need it sooner? Concerned about the environmental impact? Flexible shipping options are available.
First, the best. The fabric is durable and the construction is bomb proof. I have subjected this apron to ridiculous punishment (it was even lost for a 6 month period balled up amongst some large walnut logs). Upon rediscovery (and after spiders were relocated), a quick trip through the wash and it was business as usual. From chisels to screwdriver... Read Mores to painting and yard work, this apron does not flinch. UNFORTUNATELY, what it also does is wear on my neck. If I could offer one (or two) suggestion. First, please consider a cross back strap design for future designs. The halter neck strap starts to feel like a plow yoke when the pockets have tools in them. I will gladly pay extra money for the increase in materials to accommodate the cross back straps. Second, as other reviews stated, a separate pencil spot for the top pocket would be grand.
For now though, I will continue to put this apron through its paces. Thank you for making products that last.
I'm 5foot 7 and this feels just a bit big for me and my partner but it works well enough. It hangs a bit low and wrap around a bit too much. Wish there was a smaller size. Quality is great and looks great
I love aprons. I wear one most of the day. Ironically this "chefs" apron I wear less for cooking and more for work. I prefer the workwear apron in the kitchen and this one for work. The workwear apron is shorter and has more pockets, which suits my needs as a cook better than the longer, heavier Chef's apron.

My wife bought this for me as a Christmas present. I needed a new apron, and great pockets were a requirement. My only complaint is that the tie straps are a bit short. I believe an apron should be able to be tied in the front to quickly get it on. I can just barely get the straps tied in the front. My waist is 32, so I don't think I'm th... Read Moree problem. Otherwise a great apron. The hemp fabric is very nice.
My wife is a stained glass artist and has used this apron for several years. She just replaced it with a new one. The old one was comfortable and functional but wore through where she leans against her table. She liked it enough to want a new one, but I was surprised it wore through. I'll send it in to see if it's repairable.
Hello I made custom jewelry and do all my own repairs I needed a apron that would not melt on my skin when a piece of molten gold got away from me the hemp absorbs the heat without burning my skin underneath keeps me cool in the summer and comfortable in the winter as I have a hard torch always on thank you
I can subject a work apron to lathe and mill work, die grinding, compositing epoxy resins with advanced textiles, soldering, fluid testing and a plethora of adhesives and chemicals all in the same week. I am hard on my work gear. The apron has held up well with nearly zero wear save for the imprint of my phone in the right pocket. Some feedback. 1)... Read More I wish the bottom pockets had an easy way to close them. Debris frequently accumulates in them. Additionally I would like the top pocket to have a divider to isolate my pen and have the other side with a zipper or snap cover. 2) I dont like the knot in my lower back from the traditional tying of the waist straps. A stretchy across the lower back strap anchored on one side and attached on the other with one hand is what I want. I'm not a fan of the neck strap either. Though durable, the apron is not lightweight so it does pull down through the day. This is felt most right on the neck and the hemp material is not very comfortable against my bare skin. Ideally, I would like that load on my shoulders with reach in arm hole straps. I will probably make these adjustments on my own, so I am just nitpicking. Otherwise I am very happy with it. More than one coworker has been surprised to see a Patagonia work apron.
Thanks so much for all your thoughtful and detailed feedback on our apron design!

Art Apron
Purchased to wear at work while teaching art. No break in period required- nice and supple right out of the package despite substantial material thickness. Should be good for years to come.
Nice apron at good price. Like all of Patagonia products I expect it will hold up well. My only complaint is that it is a bit long for someone my height, but some minor adjustments to the neck strap and hiking it up a bit and it will work just fine.
Everything is well made. Lots of pockets to keep cooking tools like thermometers. Material seems durable, and it looks nice. Its main job is to keep the cloths underneath clean, and it does that.
The only Change that Id make is to have longer ties. this ties in the back. Id rather take the straps all the way around and tie in the front.
Im not sure *how* large some of these people are, but Im 6 3 and 285lbs, and the ties for this apron are more than long enough. If youre around or under my measurements, this apron WILL work perfectly. Not to mention its worth every single penny.
This is the perfect apron for my job. I spend most of my day opening cardboard boxes. We have to wear dark colors so cardboard lint use to get all over my clothes. Two big pockets hold all the things I need. Now if they only made a hose down apron for when I have to clean up the department that would be a winning combination.
I worked my way through school in a ski shop where our shop aprons had strings long enough to be snugged and tied in front. That would be my suggestion for this garment - maybe 10 inches on each side. It is a great kitchen apron!
This is my second one of these...they are great for the shop or the kitchen...or anything from bike maintenance to waxing! I use mine mostly for working on heaters, but it is very versatile, durable, and comfortable at the same time. A must have!
I bought this work apron for family members for multiple purposes--one wood worker and two chefs. The apron is awesome quality, will be perfect for protecting clothing. Might make "work clothes" obselete!
This is a good tool shop apron for those people looking for a solid, dependable apron to handle every day work. The hemp material is flexible and yet strong. Theres enough pockets for the tools that you need and its a good size to cover you from all the dirt and debris. So glad I go this!
These are all subjective, and I hate to complain about a very well made and well designed product, but its a review and here are a few considerations. Im 5-08 and I use the apron for working in the shop on various projects and making jewelry. Its a little too long, which is great for many projects, I just wish it was 6-10 shorter for bench work. Id... Read More love a few additional tabs or pockets to clip or attach things to that I frequently drop on the floor Other than that, its lightweight and flexible. The apron moves with me instead of against me like some of my other, thicker, shop aprons. I love the straps and the hidden pocket. Its truly something that can be worn comfortably for a long days work.
I purchased this apron for my husband, who's 6'3. He uses it for grilling and it's perfect. So many pockets, a great length for him, and fits comfortably around his waist. And it's very sturdy so it'll last a while. Very happy with this purchase.
This is a perfect work apron. One suggestion is to add velcro to the ends of tie strings. My husband is not able to tie the straps behind him.
Extremely well made & looks sharp.
Its my fancy apron! I wish the adjustments were more broad, that limitation really takes the luxury out of it. Im on the shrimpier side so I can loop it around front, but the top is still too loose!
Purchase this apron to use outdoor cooking. It performs well and is durable. One complaint is that the apron strings are short. I am a size 14 women and would have preferred them longer.
Im a big fan of Patagonia products so this a instant buy for me . Both have a good look it there could be adjustments if it was going To be used in a precessional kitchen
Jean one is very heavy . It weighs down on the neck therefore for me personally wouldnt work in the kitchen plus its super thick and hot when over a grill or oven
Black one is... Read More a better material and I like the orange detail . The inside pocket is a nice touch .
For both . A more adjustable strap for the neck vs just two buttons . The straps could be longer so that were able to tie it in the front so that we are also to hang our towels .
Might run small for a normal size guy . But for a petite person like myself its a good size .
Thanks for making aprons . Chefs love aprons and options!

Bought this apron to use in the kitchen and I absolutely love it. It is a typical Patagonia product: very well made & looks sort of rugged and cool. I am 59 and it falls below my knees, so it was a bit longer than I expected, but it doesnt restrict my movement at all. My husband has this apron in a darker color & loves his, too.
My grandfather, a beekeeper in the Southern Austrian Alps, always wore a work apron. He would have approved of this apron. The fabric is not too heavy so that you can move well. P.S. The inside red seam band belongs on the outside, though. It would give it a nod to fashion.
I purchased this work apron as I wanted something to wear when doing my wood working. The deep pockets are helpful to keep tools out of the way when I need easy access to them. The tie around are great length to tie it securely. I had another work apron, but it was way too stiff, even after having it for close to two years. This apron does not have... Read More the stiffness like the other one, which I thoroughly enjoy. Hopefully, this will be th least work apron that I purchase.
Multifunctional and heavy duty. Only request is it should include garnet wax and instructions for people on how to use it. That way it protects the fabric for long term use.
Perfect apron for multiple uses - though I mainly use it in the kitchen. I like it so much that I ended up getting it's companion piece, the Chef's apron, as well. So much better than any other aprons I have owned.
Well-made (as you'd expect), stylish, and practical. I bought this apron in the tan color for my husband who loves to cook. I spent so many years coveting it while baking that he bought me the black one for Christmas.
My mom wears this apron for work. She has a candle business. Its made of your tough canvas that can handle the wear and tear that hot wax throws at her every day. It also is soft so it isnt too rigid to move around while working. This is why I bought it for her and this is why she loves it. You should write an article about her. She fits your compa... Read Moreny model. I live in Ventura, so look me up.
I love this apron. It has so many pockets for various items, and a durable canvas material that (so far) hasn't let paint leak through. I love the style and color, just as pictured.
As a professional artist and teacher, I spend at least 8 hours working in my canvas apron. Patagonia makes quality that holds up to the task of daily use in the studio, shop and classroom. Love the layout of the pockets for pencils and brushes. The fit is so comfortable and roomy. This is the perfect everyday durable apron for the outdoor plein air... Read More painter, printmaker and art activist who is in the studio for hours working with paint, metal and wood.
Seems very well made and looks great. Lots of pockets, including a 'hidden' one inside at chest level. It is rather long for someone under 5'10" or so. The neck appears to be adjustable, but is actually sewn so that it cannot be unless a few stitches are removed... rather odd.

This apron feels already broken-in, and I love it. Just enough pockets, and it's wonderfully full-length. Beautiful color, too!
Just wish it had ONE more button on the strap, for the shorter folks.
Yes, works well. Easy to get on and off. Protects my clothes underneath. My only slight adjustment suggestion is adjustments to the pockets to help me manage my tools better..
The ties on this apron are too short. I sewed velcro onto the ends of the ties to enable them to be connected in front. This gives me much better control of the fit than having to tie it in front

We are so sorry to hear about your disappointment with this apron and we thank you for the feedback. Please feel free to [send](https://www.patagonia.com/returns.html) this back to us since it's not working out for you.

Looks like a shop apron.
Looks like a shop apron. Feels like a shop apron. AND yes indeed it functions like a REAL shop apron; excellently.
To set the context of this review, I'm a relatively tall and skinny woman (5'7" 110#) who works with wood and metal on a daily basis. My entire life is coated in a thin layer of sawdust. Most of my clothes have little burn holes from welding and grinding steel. I work with my hands, and I beat the $h¡‡ out of my clothes. I was hoping... Read More this would be the new barrier between my life and the life of my clothes, but the fit is iffy enough that I may not keep it.
Here's what I [kinda] like about this apron:
• It's attractive (which isn't worth all that much).
• The material is thin, which I imagine will make the break-in easy (though I do wonder about durability).
• The straps are long enough to wrap around and tie in front of you (though, possibly not for a larger-bodied person).
• It's very long, offering full coverage (by long, I mean it touches the tops of my work boots).
• Lots of pockets (though the shape and placement don't make a ton of sense for the tools I carry).
What I don't like:
• The adjustability of the neck strap is totally useless. There are two buttons directly above the adjustable clasp, which 100% interfere with actually feeding the strap through the clasp. If you can manage to feed the buttons through, you're unable to secure the strap because there are exactly two buttons and exactly two buttonholes. (Read: it's not actually adjustable at all; it's "fashion" adjustable!)
• It's so long that I have to fold the mid-section over on itself in order to tie the straps around my waist (they naturally hang down by my butt).
• It's so long that the lower pockets end at my knees (meaning, the tools at the bottom of the pockets aren't exactly handy).
• Like most of the clothes I've bought from Patagonia, this seems like it was designed by dudes for dudes.
Hi Lar, thanks for taking the time to write us a review! We're sorry to hear about some of the disappointment with the apron. Feedback like this is truly crucial in improving products for future seasons so it's tappreciated and we've passed this along to our design crew. Overall, if you're not happy with the apron you're welcome to [return](https://www.patagonia.com/returns.html#searchterm=return) it.

Best apron all time
Great pockets, launders well, takes a beating. I use mine for mostly cooking, grilling, butchering and it will probably be the last apron i ever buy
We like the style, color, cut and features EXCEPT the apron ties are not long enough to tie in front so we can't hang our side towels. We had planned to use these for our restaurant service staff
Sorry to hear that the waist feature has been a disappointment. You're welcome to [return](https://is.gd/DQq2nw) it to a Patagonia-owned store or send it in for a refund or merchandise credit.

Great for working hard!!
This apron is the best, pockets inside and out and an adjustable neck for the perfect fit.
I'm not putting this apron through blacksmith level rigor, but I am very pleased with the multiple-duty performance. The material is tough, but already soft. It wears well and comfortably drapes. I like the long length that protects from hot grease splatters while cooking on a low wood-fired outdoor grill, as well as offered good full coverage... Read More for workshop projects. The pockets are very useful to me for outdoor cooking (stashing spices, thermometer...), and holding small tools or parts while working other projects. I do not mind the ties being a little short, though I understand some folks would like to wrap and tie in front instead of the back. The neck-strap is adequately adjustable. Simple function. Good job.
I wear my apron daily woodworking and it remains comfortable and functional, even on the hottest summer days. Because it is lightweight the simple strap system works, but if you fill the generous pockets with tools, it would be better with a crossing strap system. I also tend to fill the two main pockets with sawdust and would have preferred if the... Read More had top flaps to keep them cleaner.
We are hat-makers and just don't have time to make a great apron like this one. It's fancy enough for us to take to markets and fantastic in the shop during heavy mess jobs! Thanks for making such a lightweight and durable product - we love it!
I love it! I’m a metalsmith and I bought it on a whim. It’s EXACTLY what I was looking for. Comfortable fabric. Great pockets. All around cool. Thanks!
I love my new apron. I didn’t have to break it in. It came soft and comfortable, and it revolutionized my life at the shop. My only two criticisms are that it pulls you down because of the neck loop, rather than shoulder straps. I find my posture is not very good when I’m wearing it. Also, there is no pencil pocket. If I put a pencil in any pocket ... Read Moreof this apron, it falls flat to the bottom and is impossible to retrieve without breaking the lead. I have to keep my pencil in my ear. I’ll be sewing a seam into the chest pocket just for my pencils. Otherwise, I carry everything I need with me, and cut my walking across the shop in half.
My favorite Patagonia Item of All Time...What Took so Long
Seriously...the symbolism inherent to this garment is so significant. This was worn by the boss to create your first hardware offerings.
When I sautee inside, grill outside or just grind an axe in my garage I think of the tin shed, the southern tip of SoAm, and all the inspirationally important work your firm has done over the years.
Atop all tha... Read Moret spiritual stuff I just love the garment. It fits great! Finally, a "mans apron" that doesn't make me feel a wee bit silly wearing. I actually received a bunch of compliments recently fearlessly fighting flame ups while grilling on deck for a school of middle-aged salty dogs along the shores of the Mighty Kalamazoo.
Thanks for (finally!) making this item:- )
This apron has material merit, but anyone that uses a apron for real wok all know that a cross-back "shoulder straps" distributes weight of what ever is in the pockets far better than the "neck strap" design. This will leave you with sore neck/upper shoulders.
Bought this to replace a worn out Duluth Pack welders apron. This thing is great, so much more flexible then the canvas one I had. Lighter on the body and the fit is great. I use it for everything but really love it for cooking . Towel hangs nice in the pocket, and the protection is huge so I don’t worry about spills or burns. This is also great fo... Read Morer working on the bikes and boats. Barbecue... yeah the beer can fits nice in the pockets along with the tools. Buy one you will not regret it.
Bought this apron in the Denver store and I love it. I use it in my metal, wood and print studio. Very durable and cleans well in the wash. The fit is perfect and the pocks come in very handy.
Great apron! I am a painter and carpenter by trade and use this apron every day. It is not as recognizable due to paint splatter, but it still is the same sturdy feel. I cook in it, paint, woodwork... you name it! This apron is something every working human should own. I customized mine for longer tails to wrap around and tie in front of me, that i...

What you would expect from Patagonia in an Apron - with 1 suggestion
I picked this up at the Freeport, Maine store. This is what you would expect from Patagonia, well constructed and durable. I have no prior experience with hemp, but this fabric is apparently sturdy, yet pliable and without the stiffness of other aprons (except before many wash cycles). The pockets are very nice, and the one "inside" the u... Read Morepper chest is a nice feature. The hems are also secured with a seam tape, which is a nice detail. If this is what hemp fabric is like, I may consider some pants (now that Stand-up pants are extinct). ONE SUGGESTION: if the waist straps were approximately 8-12" longer, the straps could be wrapped around the waist and tied in front, which is convenient and also allows a dishcloth to be secured by the waist strap.
Great apron, lightweight and doesn't pull on the neck. I use this for work as a chef so I am in it for 10-12 hours a day. I get daily compliments. Looks good, feels good, just need the charcoal and green colors available. The fit is good, I wouldn't use it for butchery but it almost goes to my knees. It has ample coverage around the front... Read More, even for a chef bod.
Purchased for multiple activites where several accessible pockets help,such as: working on bikes,hanging items,and BBQing. Works great. Spouse has high expectations of me when she sees me in this.
I bought this apron a couple weeks ago and it met my expectations for a what a durable and functional apron should be. I didn't know I had expectations for aprons until I saw the All Seasons apron on the website but alas,it met them!

I've so far only worn this fine piece of hemp craftsmanship in kitchen,it did the job fantastic job as being an apron.
