Waxed Canvas Apron Deluxe Edition - HDG901D

It's as manly as a manly apron can be, lol. It's incredibly stiff and well made. Easily a 10+ year apron looked after correctly. I have a 48" chest and was worried it may look small on me but it looks and feels great. The shoulder straps are comfy and it's easy to put on. I did run mine through the tumble drier just to loosen up the fabric a little. But it's well loved now and I would definitely recommend it

Why did you choose this product over others?: Great price, looks good and fits perfectly. Needed something to stop the bbq mess from ruining my clothes and this is perfect. Shoulder padding for added comfort and fully adjustable waist straps. Would 100% recommend.

Bought this as a birthday present and was concerned that it would fit, despite being adjustable. However, I’m informed it fits well despite the guy being very tall and super thin. He loves the thought (deep pockets etc) and care (padded shoulder straps etc) that has gone into the design. The quality is great too. It seemed an expensive gift, but I guess you get what you pay for. The guy in question uses the apron for Lutherie (makes/repairs instruments) and says it is perfect for his needs.

Was a present and was greatly received

I am quite happy with it, I use it a lot and the materials are solid. Maybe is me or my body shape, but I wished it would be a bit more comfortable to wear.

Excellent product of very good quality. Prompt delivery an good ebayer

I am an amateur woodworker aged 76 years and ashamed to say I've only just discovered how good a Hudson carpentry apron is. Infinitely adjustable straps make the putting on/taking off action a doddle once you've worked it out, with a bit of trial and error .... check it out on YouTube!!!! Very hard wearing with all the pouches & pockets you need. I've even attached a Toughbuilt clip to one of the side loops to carry a small pouch if needed and an iPhone sits securely in the top kangaroo pocket alongside pencil, rule, mini combi square etc. Love it, love it, LOVE IT !!!!!!

My son bought this for me and I am delighted with it. Hard wearing and very functional, a good range of adjustment to ensure it fits. Great product

Super comfortable and well built. Pockets are well placed and ample of storage room

Cuando llegó, lo primero que me llamó la atención fue lo que pesaba. Mucho más que otros que he tenido. Es de un material realmente recio y, como dice en la descripción, con aspecto de encerado. Se puede ajustar perfectamente y da mucha talla. Yo tengo 130 cm de pecho y barriga, y me da talla y podría dar más. Es bastante largo, un poco por debajo de las rodillas. Sólo hay que ver cómo envejece, pero de momento muy contento

I searched for the best apron for woodworking and this came up as #1, rightfully so I must say. It provides all the adjustment needed to make it comfortable. It gets more and more comfortable the more I load it up with tools. The shoulder pads and cross brace thingy at the back make this a real stable apron and are responsible for all the comfort. You can sit in it as well as long as the bottom pockets aren't full of stuff. I'm 6' tall and not skinny and it fits me fine. I would say if you're around 5'10" +/- 2" in height your experience will be the same as mine. From new it's stiff, mine is yet to gain flexibility but that's okay. It's thick and waxed though so it's not going to be typical fabric flexible. This stiffness gives you a sense of protection and I'm sure it will protect you if a chisel comes flying your way. I have a Samsung Note 8 and it fits in the cell phone pocket without an issue. As for any negatives... my biggest pet peeve is that the straps that you use to buckle it up can very easily become twisted when you take it off or put it on. Actually at least one gets twisted almost every on/off cycle. If you don't catch it you may feel uncomfortable until you fix it, kinda like a small pebble in your shoe. I've gotten in the habit of just running my hands down and untwisting whichever one needs it prior to buckling up, it's easy to fix. This happens because the straps (buckle ends) go through big round eyelets where the straps are free to twist infinitely if they wish. Again it's not that big of a deal, I had to find one actual issue. This won't be easy to clean, the washing instructions basically state spot wash only. If you did put this in your machine the stiffness of it may damage your machine. Now if you use this version for anything other than woodworking ie metal working it's going to get dirty and yucky, get the dark one for that. The last gripe (nit picking) are the hammer loops, I got the tan colored "woodworking edition" version but I'm not sure what to use the loops for. I guess a smaller head size mallet would be okay in there. I don't use an actual steel hammer and a large mallet is too bulky to be sittin' on your hip I think. I would have liked to see the features tweaked a just bit more for the woodworker but in the end you can't please everyone. I haven't tried others but I'm very happy with this one.

quality of stitching is good, a little costly

It showed that there is a buckle at the back of the product to tie it in the photo. But that part is missing. It was an expensive product and yet had missing parts. I want to return it but i needed it urgently. The product is very good overall but the missing part makes a big difference.
