Coloured Aprons

Coloured Aprons provide practical protection and a smart, coordinated look for chefs, baristas and front of house teams. This range includes butchers bib aprons, waist aprons and bistro aprons in a choice of bold colours and classic stripes. Ideal for restaurants, cafes, delis and food trucks, they help keep uniforms clean while presenting a professional image. Durable fabrics and comfortable fits ensure they stand up to long shifts in busy Irish hospitality venues.

How to choose the right Coloured Aprons

• Decide on coverage level: full bib aprons for kitchen prep, shorter or waist styles for front of house and bar work.
• Match apron colours to your brand, section or role so guests can easily identify staff functions.
• Check fabric weight and durability if your team faces heavy staining, frequent washing or long shifts.
• Look for pockets and bistro or waist designs where staff need to carry pads, pens or payment devices.
• Consider adjustable necks and cross-back options for improved comfort during extended wear.
• Plan stock levels so you have enough aprons to rotate between washes in busy operations.

Care and maintenance

• Wash aprons regularly at the temperature recommended by the manufacturer to remove grease and food residues.
• Pre-treat heavy stains on butchers and kitchen aprons before machine washing to extend fabric life.
• Avoid harsh bleach or abrasive chemicals that can fade coloured fabrics and weaken fibres.
• Dry thoroughly and store aprons flat or on hooks to prevent creasing and maintain a neat appearance.
• Inspect ties, neck straps and seams frequently and replace worn aprons to maintain hygiene standards.
• Keep separate wash cycles for heavily soiled kitchen aprons and lighter front of house garments where possible.
