 My son and I have matching red and white striped aprons. I tried to get him into cooking when he was younger. My goal was to have a chef in the family so that I wouldn't have to cook so much. Epic fail. He will wear it with his girlfriend to impress her now and then. She knows he has no skills. |

Many, but I wear my apron from Compwalla almost exclusively.

I wear aprons. I have 4 or 5 bib aprons I purchased at Sam’s Club. I also have a couple I bought at a restaurant supply store. They are just thick enough to protect my clothes and wipe my hands on. I cook, at minimum, 14 meals a week usually closer to 21. That’s a lot of cooking and a lot of dish washing. I find it easier to just throw on an apron and protect my clothes rather than go and change them every time I cook a meal.
The aprons I own are inexpensive enough that I can replace them periodically.

No but I really wish I kept one of my Grammas after she passed. She had one that was a blue gighnam with the white cotton over layer. When you lifted the white cotton layer there was a penis and hairy balls made out of panty hose with stitching and fake fur. My Mom absolutely hated that apron. I loved my Grammas sense of humor. There was a short time (thank goodness it was short) when the joke gift to a bride was an apron with a pocket and in the pocket was a panty hose penis and balls. One year for Christmas I made my girlfriends mason jars of pickled penises, the panty hose kind. I made the men baseball caps with boobies on the top. My brother-in-law loved his hat. |

I have 2 or 3 and I typically wear them when searing meat. That grease splatter on clothes drives me batty.

I have several and use them. I am quite messy in the kitchen. Also, I have two from following a masterclass at a 3-Michelin star restaurant (amazing experience!). I somehow feel like a better cook when wearing those  |

Yes, I'm looking at 9 hanging from hooks in my kitchen. I sew, so I've made many as gifts--recipients always comment on how they love them and wear them every time they cook. I've made a few for the grandkids, and get pictures of them helping their mom(s) in the kitchen. Funny thing is--I think I've only worn one or two of mine a couple of times, even though they are so conveniently located..

I own several and I do wear them. My favorite I actually got in a 12 days of Christmas swap (it is bright summer colors). I also purchased 3 Aprons yesterday in best price from www.ustradeent.com/shop/accessories.htmlMan the trolls are really finding us this year! Must be bored not calling people asking for money or that their pc/macbook needs help. |

OLD THREAD ALERT! This is a 2 year old thread, bumped by a one time poster who posted a link that supposedly sells aprons. Post was reported to Admin. I don’t mind that the thread is old - it is actually timely with the holidays coming up. Hopefully, admin will delete the troll’s post. I have 2 aprons, but I only wear one when I am doing something like searing meat, or pan frying - like latkes or falafel, because I too hate the grease spatter. I bought mine at Home Goods a number of years back, because I have no interest in buying them at full price since they see such little use. I really want a chef’s jacket like my FIL always wore when he was holiday cooking. |

I have 2. One that is waist down and another that is a full apron.
The half apron has an attachment for a towel. Love that!

I always wear an apron when cooking. I can’t be trusted not to get ingredients all down my front, or splash myself with grease.

I own three or four and wear one every day! How can you cook or do dishes without one? I don't want to get stains on my clothes.

I have a couple that I will start wearing again after I ruin a top with a tomato sauce splatter. Then I slowly fall out of the habit.  My absolute favorite is a Japanese cross-back style with deep pockets I picked up at a handmade market a few years ago. It's great for gardening, too. |

I have over 30 for myself and 70 for my students to wear. I wear one every day at work...even if we aren't cooking. I actually have to show new students how to tie it behind their back. My advanced class makes their own apron and they wear it all year, then take it home. I'm on the short side, so I always have made mine for got them at estate sales. It's also a good way to use up the fabric I bought 1 yard of because I couldn't pass it up! |

I have a very fancy full Christmas apron that my mother made for me with ruffles. It is wonderful when I entertain for Christmas. I guess I will have to iron it and wear it this year anyway!

We have some in the kitchen. I wish I had paid attention to Compwalla's aprons and purchased one. I have one of her aprons...it’s a very pretty Christmas print and I think of her whenever I wear it. ❤️ |

I have a few. One that was my Baba's (grandma), one half one and a couple full ones. I wear them when baking or cooking something that spatters and spits that will stain my clothes.

I love, and collect, vintage smock-style aprons from the 50s and 60's. I have a lot of aprons, but the last few years I prefer the smock style as I find them more comfortable, they cover more and mine have big pockets for phone/glasses/etc. Have made all of mine from a pattern I ran across which is based on a vintage smock apron - My Neighbors Apron It's also a good way to use up the fabric I bought 1 yard of because I couldn't pass it up! Great minds think alike! My favorite 1 yard pattern is the Church Lady Apron. Best part is since it is reversible it uses up 2 yards of fabric I just had to have! |

I have 3 or 4, I hardly ever wear them. No wonder my t shirts have oil spots. Funny thing, when I'm crafting I ALWAYS put on my "uniform"(I wear the same pair of pants and t shirt) for painting. Why can't I remember the apron when I'm cooking?

My son and I have matching red and white striped aprons. I tried to get him into cooking when he was younger. My goal was to have a chef in the family so that I wouldn't have to cook so much. Epic fail. He will wear it with his girlfriend to impress her now and then. She knows he has no skills.
