IHG-056-IND - 21oz selvedge denim apron

Planted the seed with Morgan that I need one of these for barista duty at our home espresso machine and that I’d take on said duty for the rest of our lives…her eye brow raised….fingers crossed!!

@Mizmazzle haha eyebrows raised good luck amigo!

I've been waiting for this one too and finally snagged it. Been wanting one for BBQ days and the kitchen.
Also snagged a black wabby one for those days where it's too hot outside for 21oz.

Finally got around to getting a patch on my apron... R.I.P. Mike

Okay friends. Just received mine. How are you tie this bad boy up? Wrap around to front? Most pics are people tied behind. What’s the technique here? I’ve realized I’ve never seen this style of the straps and side holes done up before. I used a pretty cheap Walmart apron to wash dishes before and I just did a small twist in the back for that. There is much more fabric here to work with. Thanks for your help!

@Fadez it's a criss cross over shoulders, then forward to backward through the loops. Tie behind the back and you good.

Hello friends,
A question for those who have the apron:
How stiff is it? Does the bulk of the 21oz denim restrict mobility?
And is it noticeably warm? Would you wear it on a warm summer day with shorts and flip-flops for a BBQ?I’m trying to figure out if this is the right apron for everyday kitchen use, in a warm-ish Australian climate. Or is more of a heavy-duty workshop apron?
I really want the denim version, but perhaps the 1/os wabash is a more sensible option.
Thank you.

My apron is still stiff, but I would expect it to eventually soften as 21oz is known to do. Even so, I haven't found it restrictive while cooking. I can see it getting hot if you're out in high temps with blazing sun standing close to a grill. Wabash might make more sense in that situation.

Hello friends,

Have you tried the 21oz jackets or pants? It is just like that...definitely stiffer than the Wabash. It is a heavy duty apron.
Does the bulk of the 21oz denim restrict mobility?
Not when I wear it around my classroom. I can sit, stand, walk, move around without noticing any restrictions.
And is it noticeably warm? Would you wear it on a warm summer day with shorts and flip-flops for a BBQ?
I have only worn it in an air conditioned classroom where it is rather chilly. I would wear it on a warm summer day with shorts and flip flops for a BBQ, though. But I would bet the Wabash would be more comfortable.

I would recommend you try the Wabash from what you are saying. Unless you are a heavy denim aficionado, the lighter weight options would be better for hot outdoor climates.

Thank you boys. I will definitely try to compare them side-by-side.I'm biased towards getting the 21oz denim version, mainly because this may be the only 21oz piece I will own. Too hot over here for heavy jeans or jackets.
However, it if is not practical, then the 14oz wabash is the way to go.But, I foresee that my biggest problem will be that once I see them side by side, I will want to buy both

tsOk boys, it is done. I went to Hachioji, looked at both the denim and indigo wabash versions. I never really stood a chance. The wabash is lovely, but IH denim is IH denim.
The 21oz denim version actually does not feel so heavy. And if it softens with use, it will be perfect.
Thank you for the guidance.
-
@fadedandcrumpled nice! And cool photo, I would love to go to a store like that.

@Oaktavia When in Tokyo, one must make the pilgrimage. I loved every minute.

Surprised they used this b-roll because of the patch and the fact you can tell that I have no idea how to peel an acorn squash…but here’s my piece where I get to use it everyday!
