1. What counts as a bespoke apron?
A bespoke apron is one that’s designed and manufactured from scratch to your exact requirements. You choose the fabric, length, cut, pockets, straps, hardware and finishing. We create a pattern specifically for your design, then produce the apron in-house here in the UK.
2. Do you make bespoke aprons in the UK?
Yes. All of our bespoke aprons are designed, patterned and made in our UK workshop. This allows us to offer consistent quality, fully custom finishes and shorter lead times than overseas production.
3. What fabrics and materials can I choose from?
You can choose from a wide range of fabrics including heavy cotton canvas, cotton/linen blends, performance poly-cottons, denim, striped cloths and specialist apron fabrics. We also offer leather and herringbone straps, plus hardware such as antique brass fixtures.
4. What custom features can I add?
Common custom features include:
Multiple pocket layouts
Contrast stitching
Leather halters and ties
Contrast trim
Branding such as embroidery, tax tabbing or woven labels
Custom lengths and widths
5. What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ)?
Our MOQ depends on the complexity of the design, but most bespoke apron projects start from 20 units. Speak to our team if you require smaller quantities — it’s sometimes possible depending on the fabric and finish.
6. How long does a bespoke apron order take?
Lead time varies depending on the design and volume, but most bespoke apron projects take 4–6 weeks from final approval. Faster turnaround may be possible if the design is straightforward and the fabric is in stock.
7. Can you create a sample before placing the full order?
Yes. We can produce a physical sample so you can review the fabric, fit and detailing before proceeding with full production. Sample costs depend on complexity but are usually refundable against bulk orders.
8. Can you match our brand colours or existing uniforms?
Absolutely. We can source fabrics and trims that align with your brand, or use contrast panels, stitching and straps to match your existing uniform palette. If you supply brand guidelines, we can design around them.
9. What industries do you make bespoke aprons for?
We supply bespoke aprons for:
Restaurants & hotels
Bars, cafés & coffee shops
Chefs & kitchen teams
Retail and front-of-house
Breweries, distilleries & food producers
Events & catering
10. Do you offer one-off prototypes or small bespoke runs?
We can usually produce one-off samples or very small runs, depending on the materials and the detail involved. This is ideal for launches, photoshoots, PR campaigns or chef-specific aprons.
11. How much do bespoke aprons cost?
Pricing depends on fabric, hardware and labour involved. As a guide, most bespoke aprons fall between £25–£60 per unit, with premium materials costing more. We’ll provide an accurate quote once we know your design and quantities.
12. Can you help design the apron if I’m not sure what I need?
Yes — our team has over 28 years’ experience in hospitality uniform design. We can help you choose fabrics, pocket layouts, strap options and branding to create an apron that suits your venue and service style.
